I think I should rip all the Flooring out of my game...
They're objects, and I don't think they need to be.


All I need is to store a value in a grid, I can then use my lookup system to get the correct sprite to draw after the ground has been drawn.

I might be able to get away with adding decimals to indicate which sprite frame to draw, so you can still have different patterns.

If not, I can store arrays in the grid instead, then I can skip the lookup and just have; grid[# x,y] = floorType,sprite,frame instead. Which is basically what I do for my ground when there's an overlay (although with that it's 2 separate grids, one for the base ground tile and one for the extra info).

I can keep things like faster movement over flooring and buildings needing them by checking the grid coordinates instead of doing a collision check.
It's funny how scared I was of grids when I first started making this (the documentation hammers home that point) and now I'm using them for a bunch of stuff

Heck this would save me having to do adjacent checks when placing floor to see if there needs to be an end piece, since the end will automatically be drawn over because draw priority works topleft to bottom right.

Means I can't have the building placement effect though. I couldn't get the tween system to work with array values, so one nested in a grid is probably out too.

Can do the same with Roofing too...then I can skip drawing the roof if the grid x/y is z distance to player....

edit; actually depth probably wont let roofing work

Added MP Cost to Farms, but set the value way too high, so they could only grow one (1) Pineapple.

OK! Spelunking Combat update! Stats are now taken into account in damage calculation for both NPC's and Mobs.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Need to work on the collisions, but added the first enemy to the game!

At least I stopped the knockback putting them through the walls X'D

New Mob! Slime!

Also added separate collision and hitboxes.

Not sure why these Mobs move backwards sometimes?

They're set to check the angle from the last position to the current then flip if the angle is >90 and <= 270
