Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday

I have redone the terrain in Troop vs Troop, a tactical WW2-game. A new demo will drop on Steam next month.

The new enemy-AI is already smarter than the old one.
But there is still work to do.

Gaming or dev'ing, that is the question 🤔

Making smart enemy-AI in a procgen world is hard

Not sure if I've shared this game before but..
it's called PaperKlay and it's on sale over on the digital storefront Steam.

If you like running around and jumping then give this a chance!

I had the weirdest dream:
I was old, trapped in a human-AI with feelings intact. The people around me tried to find out what I wanted based on my reactions.
I woke up with tears in my eyes.

Monday:
My usual ambivalence feeling, when trying to juggle things between work and driving my kids to various appointments.

Congrats to Sweden and Andreas Almgren on bronze medal in 10 000 m in Tokyo WC 🇸🇪

Just came back from 1 hour walk with a friend, feels really good afterwards :)

I should really get out more. Have been too much inside, which is affecting my mental health.

I have been thinking of doing an expriment...

I'm very bad at posting stuff, mostly because of being a bigtime introvert and thinking that I don't have anything smart/clever to say.

So to challenge myself I'll try to write something everyday. Nothing fancy, just what's on my mind. Small things.

I tried my hand at making a video codec. I didn't know the first thing about video codecs when I started, so was quite fun to learn about the concepts and how to implement them.

I packaged the result in a stb-style, single-file header-only lib, < 2500 loc with no dependencies.
