Hi there,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As my apprenticeship slowly winds down and comes to an end, I have found the
|
||
|
|
time again to work on "Pituicat". This time I tackled the problem of
|
||
|
|
interacting with movable objects. This was all possible due to the friendly
|
||
|
|
Haskell GameDev community on Discord, which gave me valuable hints here and
|
||
|
|
there, when I needed them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This meant another rework on the collision handling side of the code, so I had
|
||
|
|
to break the collectible powerups, but I hope to get them back shortly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also I changed the way player movement is handled. I used to apply the move
|
||
|
|
velocity as a physical velocity before doing collision checks, which tended to
|
||
|
|
backfire and cause random breakage and unforeseen behaviour, especially when
|
||
|
|
applying velocity updates after collision. Then just shortly I got the valuable
|
||
|
|
hint, that player movement should not be really applied as a physical force but
|
||
|
|
rather "hacked in". This I managed to do, which now saves me a lot of headache
|
||
|
|
when updating the player's velocity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I rendered a short Video of some interaction between the player and placed
|
||
|
|
objects on the map. Vertical interactions work well, as you can see, but
|
||
|
|
horizontal still need work, which is why I chose to ommit them here.

I am quite happy to make progress on this project, no matter how small that
|
||
|
|
progress seems to be.

As always, you can look into the code and game design documents in
|
||
|
|
[the project's gitea repository][gitea].
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
I wish you all a pleasant sommer. Don't melt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keep calm and wash hands.
