i got the edge trimming working! red are cells which are trimmed because they don't border other city screens (they're visible only for testing purposes). now i need to clean up the stray roads and place doors, and this placeholder city generator is ready for action! - ThreadSky

really interested to see how it will look with doors

flutterm.bsky.social•85 days ago

just wanted to add, it's really inspiring to see the rate at which you're progressing every day

lorenschmidt.bsky.social•84 days ago

yeah i'm not sure what the doors will look like! one thought is that they could have numbers or identifiers like symbols, which would map to an object list, so you could pick one from the list and walk there.

and thank you! it's been really good to settle back into a rhythm after moving, which was such a disruption!

i noticed some casted shadows there, which lighting strategy are you using? i love all the different approaches

lorenschmidt.bsky.social•86 days ago

this is a sort of well-tuned stopgap. it's a brute force raycast with fixed step rather than what i will probably do later, which is more strategic placement + dda.

deliberately not firing out enough rays to hit all the cells, so it feels like you have imperfect perception of your surroundings.

lorenschmidt.bsky.social•86 days ago

oh wait i misremembered! i did one better than that at some point and did an fixed step along the major axis. but the ray placement is quite simple.

This is like asmr for my eyes. Lovely work!

thank you- i have found i really value a sort of moment to moment satisfaction + enmeshment with the way a game feels in motion.

god this is so cool, i've loved watching your updates. i made a procedurally generated text based game in a similar vein in high school as my senior programming project but this is on a whole 'nother level.

lorenschmidt.bsky.social•85 days ago

oh wow, that must have been such a meaningful project!

back then i couldn't figure out how to make it save lol that was the thing i was working on right as school ended. unfortunately lost all that code, but ah well.
