I was just informed by my brain that I'm turning this into an #NES #shmup so I guess that's my autumn project now... ๐

assets mostly done and within NES constraints which are pretty interesting and fun to work around.
now to create a project template and test #GBDK's NES support. :)

it's...alive?
I put a bit too much on my plate with #ProjectWhiskers. want to get something smaller out the door first.
my constraints:
- ๐ single screen: focus on core gameplay and make it pretty.
- ๐งโ๐คโ๐ง multiplayer: as we can use a bit more connection right now.
- ๐ฎ simple controls: 2โ3 buttons at most. 2 players can use a single controller.
- ๐พ zero sprite flicker: big NES constraint but fun to work around.
I love that #GBDK added #NES support. I can reuse what I've learnt. just adding colours. :)
still haven't found a NES VRAM/PPU viewer on macOS... so to keep track of things I've made the simplest tile allocator possible:
now I can refer to tiles relatively as they are in the asset sheet as TILE_BKG(tile_number).
feeling quite galaxy brain now.

also found out about the Zed editor which is a fork of GitHub's Atom and quite nice.
I'd have found out about it earlier if Google wasn't filled with AI generated crap.
@hbons I just gave zed another try (was unable to remember why it didn't stick on a previous try ๐ ).
It's a bit of a tossup for me right now.
Certain things are nicer, such as editing directly in search results, window splitting is better, a little faster than sublime.
Some rough spots: more telemetry and other network bits to turn off and still pops error notices related to them, encountered an issue (LSP related?) with C files where it got stuck at 100% cpu repeatedly. ASM ok so far.
@hbons BTW, the interviews on the changelog podcast with the main person behind the editor are interesting and worth a listen.
@hbons Looks sharp!
(Stupid jokes aside, it really does look dope)
