• Layered TileMap Support

  by Cory on March 5, 2019

  About a month or two ago, I made the decision to simplify my TileMap class so that no tiles could overlap. I believe that's the way that almost everyone else does it. Previ... (Read More)

• The Move Tool

  by Cory on January 10, 2019

  I just put in a move tool that will let me select existing tiles and then drag them around to reposition them. I had to restructure the tile editor code to allow for swappi... (Read More)

• Tile Popup

  by Cory on December 25, 2018

  Progress is once again slow.

  I actually spent a few weeks refactoring my scene graph, making it go faster, and fixing memory leaks/slowdowns. I made the scenegraph it's ow... (Read More)

  Work is shitty this week and I got into a fight when biking home because some guy passed me so close he almost side swiped me. Anyway that has ... (Read More)

• Actually Using Tilemaps

  by Cory on October 23, 2018

  I finished the arc this weekend. I did all that modification to the BuilderScene to load and save stuff to text files. I added in a Tilemap in MegamanScene and deserialize ... (Read More)

• Loading Map Files

  by Cory on October 10, 2018

  I made some more code to create a flash notification that goes away when you click off of it and a textbox that you can type things into. I'm revealing a lot of rough edges... (Read More)

• Working Collisions and BuilderScene Modifications

  by Cory on September 25, 2018

  After I added those extra conditions, I added more platforms to play around with and then a new system to move the camera around based on where the player character sprite ... (Read More)

• Swept AABB Collision Detection Illuminated

  by Cory on September 15, 2018

  I think I finally fucking figured it out. I've been using these two website guides for the "swept AABB" collision detection algorithm and I couldn't figure out why it wasn'... (Read More)

• Working Out Collision Detection

  by Cory on September 15, 2018

  I've implemented the "regular" AABB collision detection, which is basically just seeing if two squares overlap. According to the internet, this algorithm isn't good when th... (Read More)

• Need Some Physics Up In Here

  by Cory on August 28, 2018

  I added Velocity and Acceleration components to the MegamanScene. I also put in a PhysicsSystem to do collision detection, but everything's all wrong. This is way harder th... (Read More)

About this Idea

Game programming general topic. I eventually hope to split this into separate ideas exclusively about specific games that I make.
