Iain CollinsModest progress on https://microstate.neocities.org this weekend.
I've been away in Barcelona this past week for work, but in downtime I have cracked some performance improvements, with offscreen canvases for tile sprites, and a pooling system so canvases can be reused, to avoid the performance impact of creating/deleting them dynamically.
🎉 Construction simulation, mini-maps, and documentation now live on https://microstate.neocities.org
It's a long way from a game, it's just an "ersatz" of a simulation, but it's starting to feel a bit real now.
Somehow almost scary, even though there are zero stakes other than "can I make this fun", as the "proof of concept" bits are out of the way - baring optimization and polish - so now it's down to game design.
I'm going to need some quality time in the pub with a notepad.
Couldn't resist making the placeholder generated buildings look better before bed, even though I'm going to throw them out later - probably in favor of more detailed vector art for the bases with generated components (that are modified when placed, and get turned into bitmap sprites that are then cached).
The previous, even simpler buildings, were all cached as sprites after being generated and so were much faster.
