I need to figure something out about this room.
I want one chest to be better than the other and I'd like the player to choose a path without knowing.

But it's a long way, and there's no way to change your mind before opening a chest.


I could replace the chests with Pedestals, where you can see the item, but that might be too much information?
I could add some more gates so you can change your mind and swap lanes but there'd need to be something to sew doubt.

Or I could shrink the path, and have a different room type where there are the choice of teleporters until you reach the end of the room?

Ok, this version works without physics. I had to scrounge up some old bullet code from a platformer project I have.

It's nowhere near as accurate, and entirely random bounce angle when colliding with something. But it works and use like 15 lines of code?

DING!

Yea, definitely time for a Converting/Crafting UI overhaul Gonna make it smaller, and more more intuitive

Every time I go to use this I forget if it's on [Insert Fuel] or [Insert Item]

Swapping to use the Modular InventoryUI from Fishtank etc will fix it!

Ok, going by my test project it's totally possible to draw physics objects to the UI (top left corner). That doesn't solve the issue of having possibly 100's of extra object active at once though.

Meh, this is just a thought experiment.

Happy November everyone!

Super slow month since I took a few days off for my birthday, and spent a lot of time making new sprites which doesn't really require much write up.

WOO!

As I've been going through my building redraws I've split the Crafting Building menu into Converters and Crafters. Kinda need better names for them.

I'm also realising I need to redo the UI for them, they don't need the Inventory part now I can reuse it.

OH! Different way of doing it.

11 lines of code, no randomness needed to stop them bouncing forever up and down!

This still means individual objects for the balls and bouncers, but no physics engine definitely means this is possible for minigames!

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you're well! Family is all back so I got Sunday Lunch today!

Also, so many shiny maonkeys!

Time to get back to Progress Post!

Please take care, do your best and remember you're all awesome and unstoppable in your goals!

OMGOSH! Shiny Shadow Beldum!
