#100daysofcode Day 95: I played around with the NetHack Learning Environment, a new project by facebook's research group (as much as I dislike them as a social media I was intrigued). https://github.com/facebookresearch/nle
My 5 game #nethack win streak is over. After ascending a Healer, Valkyrie, Barbarian, Rogue, and Priest all in a row, my Samurai was struck down by a dastardly pair of soldier ants in Minetown. All in all, I'm happy with a 5 win streak since I have never even gotten 2 in a row before. And this puts me in 1st place for 3.7.0 win streak in the #junethack tournament! https://junethack.net/player_scoreboard Sayonara johanv the Samurai.
#100daysofcode Day 89 (yesterday): I got back into the development of ruegolike, my #golang #roguelike, by tweaking how things are displayed and the movement keys, and updating the roadmap.
#100daysofcode Day 84: My friend and I rendered an animation of the #lego #blender man and... well, I'll let you see for yourself ;) #wednesday
#100daysofcode bonus: I finally fixed the rendering in the #golang #roguelike! It was a matter of keeping track of which floor tiles have been discovered within rooms, to decide what a corner should be displayed as. (red tiles are ones that have not been discovered yet, for debugging)
#100daysofcode Day 83: We finished another #blender #lego tutorial to create the face with different expressions. Turns out there are 2 more videos after this instead of this being the last one.
#100daysofcode Day 82: I fixed the rendering of some of the rooms in the #golang #roguelike, but there are still some edge cases, such as when a corner gives away another room. This happens when there is a wall you have seen, but is hidden because the room has not been entered. Then the corner still counts that wall and connects to it, giving away the room.
noooo there are still rendering errors! I could fix this one with a special case, but i can think of a few that would be ambiguous, such as having a corner on both sides of another corner - which way would it go then?
#100daysofcode Day 81: I started messing with the code for the #golang #roguelike to try to get the rooms to render properly, but have fewer tiles to keep track of. Then I realized I needed to spend some time thinking through which methods of representing the room segments with tiles was the best. Having corners and walls be stored the same makes it ambiguous sometimes, so I'll have to store horizontal, vertical, and corners (no distinction needed between which type of corner).
#100daysofcode Day 80 (yesterday): we made some more progress following the #blender lego man tutorial, here's a render!
#100daysofcode Day 79: we started learning #blender by making a #lego man using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv-qsxHA9Ug (not really code but it's for the game)
#100daysofcode Day 78: we completed the last tutorial, which was to add coins to the game. once you collect 5 coins it brings you back to the menu screen
#100daysofcode Day 77: we got some textures, enemies, and collision detection working in #godot following the tutorial
#100daysofcode Day 76: My friend and I are learning the open source #godot game engine using this tutorial: https://invidio.us/playlist?list=PLda3VoSoc_TSBBOBYwcml amF1UrjVtccZ Here are some gifs of our progress after just the first 2 parts of the tutorial
#100daysofcode bonus: I cleaned up the code, made walls block light, and turned off debug mode so this screenshot is what the player sees
#100daysofcode Day 75: Getting back into this challenge for the summer by making a #roguelike in #golang called "ruegolike" https://git.sr.ht/~johanvandegriff/ruegolike I've been working on it for a bit, but today I added generation of corridors between rooms. (I know the #100daysofcode is supposed to be continuous, but... I guess I'm going for a piecewise continuous function.) Also yes, it is heavily inspired by #nethack, one of my all-time favorite games
got raycasting working! opted to just port the code over to go instead of implementing it myself. it actually uses shadowcasting instead of raycasting but it looks great!
currently trying to find a simple way to do #raycasting on a 2D binary grid. the black squares are where there is a tile, and the red is the "shape" of the tile based on its neighbors. Based on this page: http://www.adammil.net/blog/v125_Roguelike_Vision_Algorithms.html#mine
