... or even :blobcatgiggle:

clamp(x, min=Float.MIN_VALUE, max=Float.MAX_VALUE) = clamp(x, min, max)


so you can write

this.x = clamp(this.x + Time.deltaTime, max=maxValue)



Ohhhh I read this before during the stream and didn't realize what you meant. You mean clampMax for min and ...

To procrastinate on making maps you should at least have the map editor open

But I like all these features! Old cringey forum nostalgia is what this is all about

Code: Select all

Yes, the method syntax makes min/max far worse. But at_least / at_most would read so nice in method syntax... I'm gonna add this and see if I end up using it!

It's very common when writing game code to want to express the idea that this variable saturates at a certain value, for example:

this.x += Time.deltaTime;
if (this.X > maxValue) {
this.X = maxValue;
}


Now you see how my brain likes to think in terms of the "maximum value" this variable is ...

Continuing with this, here's a little pic of my aseprite on-the-go setup!

I'll also say that I changed methods and I'm now no longer using hwdb but input remapper . This was also mentioned in David Revoy's post, but the issues have been fixed since then and it now works like a charm ...

Not exactly 2D art, but it's about art and I draw 2D, so here it goes :akko_shrug:

Inspired by this blog post by the krita legend David Revoy, I too turned a cheap USB numpad into a shortcut keyboard. This is quite intuitive to use, even if I've just been a couple hours at it.

This thing is ...

For those who aren't in the loop, C# has finally released a preview version for union types! ! There's a catch though.

To clarify, union here means discriminated union, not a C-style union. It's what Rust calls an enum when the variants of the enum have payloads and not just a tag. I think zig ...

Yup! I wanna look into XML-Schema support once the thing is a bit more fleshed out, hopefully there's a nice extension that shows validation errors inline, that'd make for a pretty good user experience

That said, the UI is built with the use case in mind that there may not always be a character ...

Hehe me too! I was hoping for a good parsing tangent but alas :pensivecat:

I was thinking what other languages could be used for this and XML is quite unique in that it allows structure, plain text inside the structure, and then going back to structure inside the plain text in a flexible way. This ...

I've been taking a bit of a break from the "core gameplay loop" so next up on the menu working on the lore and creating the area where the metaprogression is gonna happen: The Hub.

But before we reveal any details about the hub (it's a bit of a spoiler :blobpeek:). I've started working on a new ...
