Wednesday is my #DaddyDay (mom is working and I'm not so I can play with my son), but now he's getting used to primary school joining half days there. Weird stuff, but it did give me time to make some refactoring adjustments to the job system of my game. If-else if-else-stuff is replaced by a for loop over a table (that's what arrays are called in lua) pretty happy with that as a start.

Live-coding games or cool visualizations can be really fun, and you can do it with Neovim using this LÖVE 2D extension: https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/livelove

It's always.... nice... to find out that when you, the non-mathematician are trying to get a world space position when you only have a view port position, the very library you use to get in this mess also has a function that does just that. And now the evening is almost over. But I got it working!

Boss part, and this prototype is done, if you'd like to try it you can just DM me

Wrapping up my entry to the #love2d game jam this weekend... it's a real mess of a game, but at least it looks alright!

How my #love2d game jam entry is coming along!

Trying to finish my submission to the #love2d 2025 jam. For the theme of 'plan', I've made a game about answering timed emails (typing game style) where you have a calendar and a file browser to find the correct info to respond with. But, it's a bit flat rn.

The idea was the 'fun' would come from the panic of trying to find all the correct info (and type it) in time while being bombarded with new emails. I'm *sure* it can work, but keeping to the jam time limit is going to be hard.

Progress on my Civilization simulator. The map knows where roads and irrigation are and is able to connect the roads. And by the sweat of my brow, the units finally understand when they can move or do something. Because it's not obvious to them that irrigation takes three turns and roads just 2.

Day 5 of #lovejam2025 and I have a first working loop of the dungeon crawler planning game I am developing.

Time to get working on some art!

I just distributed my code of last Saturday plus some more, from one to 10 different files and now it's more readable and maintainable. Because the more files, it seems, the less complex.

I've finished writing v1 of my "Intro to Game Development for Teens" for the camp I'm teaching this week.

The instructions are available for free and after this week I will also be writing a free teacher's guide if anyone else wants to go over this with their class or kids or whatever else.

(It's "for teens" because you need knowledge of the x, y coordinate plane and the guide covers the distance formula.)

My level exporter from Blender to Löve seems to be working

This should help me make something quick for #lovejam2025

In the last two weeks, I made a computer adaptation of the historic #BoardGame The Landlord’s Game (which is #PublicDomain). It is the predecessor of #Monopoly.

It is clunky and ugly, but it almost works. This is the first time I used #LÖVE, and it shows.

The game logic is surprisingly complex with many obscure features.

The remake of Ascent from #pico8 to #love2D made it possible to keep the pico8 aesthetics but boost the VFX as well as doubling the game world!

After collecting attestations from contributors the minimal love2d fennel template has been relicenced under the MIT Licence.

This is my third game with #PixelArt houses with a roof, but I made them much cleaner than the previous ones (and I made it so you can see the top rim thingy and the back tiles).
Hmm. I don't know how how to handle that rim with complex house shapes with the current simple autotiling system. Guess I'll just put chimneys at the intersections.
