This is the dumbest article I have seen in a long time, it just reads like an advertisement for unproven AI nonsense.

changed my pfp to an empty net to represent both my athletic ability and current mental capacity 🫡

never trust javascript, sometimes you want to make a fighting game bracket but accidently just print a lot of 'null's. pls note that it is a string and not a null value and this happens to me every single time ffs

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Mar 11

my apologies to anyone who is following me and who reads this, unless you're the dingdong who decided there shouldn't just be an "enable default right click behavior" to electron, and if that DOES exist apologies to everyone but the documentation.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Mar 11

Why is it impossible to just add a default right click menu to an electron app? all I want is to let someone copy and paste, but I have to sift through dozens of unhelpful stack overflows to find anything remotely useful. I have 10 years experience as a web dev and each day is a fresh new hell.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Feb 26

like I was actually amazed at how little work this was compared to all the recursion wierdness I did for the tree. nah, just loop this bad boy for each step in your range, no biggie, apparently.

some nerd stuff, code? why would anyone post this, post something interesting or actually type out the code.

(its two loops, the first one is "get each valid range number" and the nested loop is "Get each tile at said range" )

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Feb 26

This approach works well because you can scale it easily to a variety of ranges. I started with the movement tree BC I was overthinking this but this solution is 10x easier. Classic move.

But this effectively just does the "for each square away from origin, draw that many diagonals" per each range.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Feb 26

Some more #gameDev notes/ illustrations to send out to the BSky ether!

Attack ranges: For a range 2, we start at 2 squares above the origin, then iterate through that range, and move diagonal each iteration (I should have done 3 to show it better oops). then we do that to the east, west, & south

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Feb 26

This shows a path with a "movement cost" of 2, indicated by the green arrows/ incredibly artistic forest tile.

I didnt know exactly how to visualize it costing 2, so I filled it halfway with each step as it went.

doing this from the origin out to every node will give the character full movement.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Feb 26

(the previous gif only shows the north step btw, ran out of space)

Using the tree structure lets us place obstacles in the path, and will automatically adjust to show every possible movement available to the player. This shows how it works with a blocked tile to the south, indicated by a red X.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Feb 26

I have some quick lil' gamedev illustrations I made ( quickly, poorly, and using a sudoku grid & MS paint) to show how some algorithms work in a small project I am messing around with.

So movement works using a tree structure, each node checks the next & subtracts total movement values.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Dec 18

this for sure looks better in the actual program, I should probably just actually record the screen instead of half-assing it with GifCam but whatever lol

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Dec 18

Updated the highlight animation

Shoutout to the nun in the orphanage in the movie Elf, who presumably thought she lost a child on Christmas for 30+ years.

Honestly genshin deserves to be blocked more than the green bay packers do, brb updating my list

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Nov 29

Everyone: “bsky is so much better than the other app, its so much easier to moderate your feed!”

Me: “Agreed!”

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Nov 28

Saving this one for thanksgiving is honestly a power move

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · Nov 28

In New Super Mario Bros., Mario cannot use a Mega Mushroom in Toad Houses. Assuming the Mega Mario form in these locations reveals that the special Question Blocks cannot be destroyed by it, and instead create a very peculiar infinite particle effect.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Nov 27

as for multiplayer games, If someone gets a goal for free in FIFA on a glitch, the entire experience is trivialized. In something like a fighting game, a glitch that can do something strong (like make moves invincible CvS2 roll cancel style) but counterplay exists, it totally works.

Tibzilla @tibzilla.bsky.social · Nov 27

I feel like it really depends on what part of the gameplay the "cheating" is affecting, and how core to the experience that is.

singleplayer games, if you can just clip and run to the end of the level, that is less fun than something like hitting a frame perfect glitch jump in mario or something.
