I thought I'd practice my pixel art tweening a bit.
So, I found a 4 frame gif of the Mega Man run cycle (attached) and manually tweened it into a 8 frame gif (also attached).
Both attached are scaled x8.
It's not as bad as I expected it to be but I'm sure it could have been better!
Created some tutorials to aid the initial use of Cheese Map, with guidance from scratch to creating grid-style tile maps as well as layers of free tiles:
https://github.com/Hapaxia/CheeseMap/wiki/Tutorials
Cheese Map is a map drawable for use with SFML and can simplify drawing maps, especially grid-style (the most obvious type) tile maps (it can work with and also draw multiple at once - order by z-order) and can also use 3D scaling.
Here is a video of it in action during tests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de0OGuVQkGk
Begun creating a new PSG (Provided Symbol Group) for Grambol (https://github.com/Hapaxia/Grambol/wiki):
Flags!
Obviously, I've stuck to the more simple ones for now (mostly striped) but there are so many more to come!
The image is a screenshot of what I have so far (challenge: can you name them all?!)
Updated Grambol to include some more Provided Symbol Groups, including: BasicGradient, CardSuit and Icon.
BasicGradient is identical to Basic group with added gradient.
CardSuit provides symbols for the suits of standard playing cards: heart, diamond, spade and club.
Icon provides some customisable symbols that are commonly used as icons: home, (location) pin, upload/download, cog, clock and Bluetooth logo.
Images shows examples of some the newly added symbols.
if you use keepassxc, do not update past the current latest update (2.7.10) as future updates will include LLM generated code, which is a utterly horrible idea for an application that manages people's passwords
the maintainers approve of this and don't see the horrible security implications in allowing it
Oh.
Imgur just blocked the UK so its UK users can no longer access their accounts as well as UK internet users can no longer see Imgur images that are linked on places like forums etc..
We need to be aware that people from the UK can no longer see images if you share using Imgur.
On that note, any recommendations for a replacement that can be used globally?
Updated Kairos, my timing library.
Already entirely header-only, all objects are now single files, having compiled .inl into .hpp.
Some added features here and there too, which is always nice ;)
However, possibly the biggest change is the addition of a new object: Clock. It simplifies getting the current date and time and can work with any time zone.
Note: this update is on a different branch known simply as "newer" and is not yet part of "master".
Selba Ward is now fully up-to-date to use with SFML 3.
This includes all of the drawables, of course, but now also all of the documentation, examples and tutorials!
In addition, there are a few new drawables since I last posted about it so here are a few GIFs 😀
Ember is so tired of people.
