Had a productive day yesterday preparing for the dungeon crawler jam. I wrote this in little under 10 hours.

One script renders a single textured quad in #Panda3D in various positions to place neatly on a texture atlas (encode the quads atlas and screen-position in a pickle).

Then #pygame takes that atlas and data and draws its contents in the right order (back to front, from a grid of tiles).

Look ma, no AI.

En estas navidades... Panda3D.

Puede que Python no sea el lenguaje más utilizado para programar videojuegos, pero tiene varios motores muy interesantes, entre ellos el veterano Panda3D que justo acaba de recibir una nueva versión.

Es una release orientada a la corrección de bugs, pero te recomendamos que si no lo conoces eches un vistazo a este magnífico framework 3d.

My new first-person shooter #Thetakill is uploaded to itch. You can play it here for free on windows and linux (including for arm64): https://entikan.itch.io/thetakill

Jack your mind into the cyberverse and destroy the evil Lord Tarex. Frantically load the correct color bullets to fire in the correct order or perish.

Made with my own two hands over the course of a week, no AI.

Nearing my end of day 3 of the #7dfps #gamejam. Got the core gameplay mechanics going. The weapon has two chambers, load one of two colors in each, only hurtful to the same colored enemy. I had a similar #mechanics in an older game of mine but it works better here.

Started experimenting with gl lines for #explosions. Its getting to that point where I'm playing the game more than I'm coding it, which is exactly where I want to be.

Gonna put a period after day 2 of the #7dfps jam. Added some enemies flying around that you can shoot (though they just dissapear atm, but the hittesting is all there), a hud-gun and a laser that goes pew pew. Getting to a point where we are #fragging asap is my strategy.

Just a weekend hack, attempting to replicate the #Yukikaze (Snow Wind) #HUD using #python and #panda3d based on my open-source NorthStarUAS simulation code. Just some lines and circles and text using old-style opengl/scene-graph technology, nothing new or ground breaking ... but the Yukikaze HUD design itself is interesting to me. See the video description and if you can help me understand the Yukikaze pitch ladder, I'd appreciate it!

🎮 This is a progress on the prototype of 2D maths game made with Panda 3D engine. 🐼

Game, that is being designed to help unemployed and struggling to earn cash while using their math skills. Companies don't care if their decision will force people to live in tents or cars. Cost of living is rising in the US, the UK and European countries. This won't get any better.

This will be a game that has unique purpose. To bring safety net to others.

Monetize your math skills with Eli game.

Can you solve a math problem in 30 secs or will you let your player die in the laser beam ? Parts of the demo is blurred out not to give away too much.

Don't ignore math problems in my new game 🎮 made with Panda 3D. It can hurt. 😊

Little teaser here ...

Prototype of a new math game with unique purpose is slowly shaping up.

The purpose of this game is to bring alternative to professionals who have suffered from mass layoffs. Companies don't give a damn that software engineers, designers, technologists and other types of professionals spent years (decades) of their life studying and making themselves competitive in today's world. AI and robotics have taken people's livelihoods and governments didn't seem to offer any solution. Probably because they have their own problems. Spiritual people will tell you depend on God. Does God pay your rent or nappies for your baby ? I'm not spiritual. I live in reality and so do millions of you.
This project hasn't been completely thought out yet, it is a work in progress.
But the mission is clear. Not all unemployed chose to be unemployed. And to those this project will serve.
