Reworked Weather to be Chunk based and things seem to be working so far (this island only has 1 Chunk though... so time will tell)

Also, connected Weather Speed to the Game Speed! NYOOOOOM!


Looking at how I'm storing Snow Data.

I'm making a SnowGrid for the map and saving each snow id in the cells so I can check the grid coordinates if there's something there already.

I'm also saving the same id in a SnowList which I can run through to decrement the Snows Life (since running through a huge grid would be slow).

Thing is though, I can't save Grids in a ds_map which is how I'm storing Chunk Data, so I might need to figure something else out, or just move the grid to the Chunk Object and not the Chunk Data. The list can go into it though.

So I'll have to store it outside of that, no big deal really just an extra thing to look after when culling and save/loading.

Thinking: I could save a Ds_map as x12y25, then when checking for existing obstacles check for a Ds_map with that name? It would be stored as:

x12y25 in SnowList in SubChunkMap

But I don't think I need that? I'm already saving the Snow Id in a list, so I can just put:

snow. id in SnowList in SubChunkMap

With or without the map I'm still going to have to run through the whole list looking for the correct entry, may as well save using an extra map.

Adding a key system for Gates and stuff (on top of the existing Button system which is now over-rided by keys) I can also have other conditions like a specific number of enemies need to be killed before they open.

Need to fix the collision detection.

wait,

WAIT. WAIT WAIT WAIT. JOLTIDAY GOBLINS!?!?!?!!!!!!

Updating water, added some stuff to make things more visually pleasing. I think I need the tint back or maybe to try different blending. Kinda want to try a displacement map again instead of the directional movement? Need to find that again. (laptop gif)

#GJAsks I thought it would have been Tennis for the Atari 400 which my dad had, but I can't find evidence of the cartridge, so I'm gonna say Joust which I still have from back then!
