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.
Added a little robot, a pre-rendered gltf model I quickly blocked out in blender.
Also added some post-processing with indexed dithering using #pillow , meaning sizes for the images are now TINY (wall.png is just 22kb). Not sure if I will end up going that route but its cool that its here. We can pre-render a whoooole lot now!
That's all I can prepare for the jam as "reasonable prep work" Now to lock away this code and wait for the jam to begin.
