make weird games, everyone

MonoGame @monogame.net · 2h

In most games that support 2 player,the camera zooms out, as the players get further apart, to keep both players on screen. Another options is that as they reach "maximum distance", on that map, you switch to a split screen scenario, so no zooming required.Make it 1 screen again when they are close.

Nice! What are you using for your networking?
Is it only 2 players on 1 computer or is 2 players on local LAN supported?

Visual feedback on how long Pi will wait at each waypoint on his journey to complete that dungeon level. Added a nice pie fill (no shaders yet) that fills as the count-down timer goes from red to green. Pi's navigation needs tweaks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7YX...

I wrote this a couple of years ago to practice vector-based movement in @monogame.net. I'm so happy I did because it's about to be the ⭐ of Monday's lecture on AI movement in games.

Thanks @elthen.bsky.social for the awesome gremlin sprites. Still my fave.
