Eli decided to gather some folks for a spring edition of #Decadv, I only just finished the proof-reading of No Bears None, I'm aching to do a bit of gamedev and I'm always willing to jump on an occasion that forces me to document things. So let's go!
I'm hoping to make a whole new implementation of Donsol with Rek's gorgeous new sprites. I'm tired of the NES look n' feel of our first implementation, I want something that has animations and effects and lives up to the capabilities of Varvara.
Starting more seriously on the interface now, I think I got everything down where I want it. Through all my years of programming in #Uxn, I've managed somehow to never learn much about emulating larger numbers and just lived within the boundaries of 16-bits, but I do skirt pretty close to the boundary sometimes. For example, if I want a little progress bar 0x32 pixels wide, to display a value between 0 and 0x15, I have to do a little bit of finessing to have enough resolution in a short to emulate what in other languages you'd use decimal points for.

There has got to be a better way to phrase the flavor text for top tier healing cards.
A day of implementing animation tools. The mileage on that little smoothing animation function.
