I made a game for the @abertayuni.bsky.social game development society's Freshers Game Jam. The theme was "No Limits" so I decided not to let the theme limit my creativity.

And I'm back again! I just made a game of pong that uses 3 separate windows, so there's no background! Why? Who knows but it was a super fun challenge. Also I learned the hard way that a "Stack Overflow" is a real real thing not just a website

GOD math is hard. Spent almost 6 hours working on a system to make the ship slide along the inside of a circle using trigonometry, calculus, and all that fancy shit. No luck! ended up just moving the ship inwards before allowing it to move to the intended direction

The Collision Detection was inspired by @shammy.vore.ceo's hit documentary/code review of "The Surge", and thus has a lot of ... Character

"Truly your knowledge knows bounds" is one that I've been hit with

Guess who's back!!!

About to start uni, so I decided to make a quick coding project to see just how rusty I was. I'm super excited to start making games again!

This looks really cool! Sound effects are an oft-overlooked component of game feel. Did you program the physics of the ball bouncing yourself? One think I was looking at before was using calculus to find the reflected vector of an object colliding with, say, a sine wave.

Decided that built-in window dragging features are for COWARDS, so made my own. The lagging issue is completely fixed, so all that's left to do is fix the jittering and we're golden!

Set it up so the map tiles the entirety of my screen. Unfortunately I'm running into a problem with Monogame where the graphics seem to update extremely irregularly when moving them around. If anyone has a fix, let me know. Overall VERY happy with Monogame so far.

I love the part in an H.P Lovecraft novel where the narrator drops all pretence of ambiguity and just starts throwing out discombobulated sylables left and right

Trying out Monogamy! Nice to be working on C# again, but after spending so much time on python I keep forgetting to add semicolons. My latest project will have the player searching their desktop for...something. I haven't really thought about the game itself tbh

How realistic would it be to develope a game in Godot on Android? Feels like a fun thing to chip away at during commutes, and if it could cloud sync between my devices, better still!
