Any good implementation info on replacement grammars (for graphs, not strings)?
Good conceptual info by @jorisdormans.bsky.social, but I'm missing: Good data structures for graphs and rule specification; good algorithms for identifying sub-graphs and applying the rules. Ideally with pseudo code.

I finally started doing some stuff for #procjam It's slight revamp of an unfinished SCP bunker generator I started years ago.. As with most things pcg it started with a dungeon generator.!
You can read about it here, and try out the WebGL version

Recently finished Wheel World. I don't normally play racing games but I loved breezing around on my bike in the little open world of this game, popping into races, enjoying the scenery while virtually feeling the wind in my hair. Plus puns and great soundtrack.

While researching maps where scrolling is a side effect of cursor movement, I noticed that the Breath of the Wild map has an odd dual behavior.
If you scroll from a stand-still, the cursor remains dead-center in the screen. But if you zoom *while* moving, the scrolling goes into a trailing mode!

Do I know anyone with experience combining @freya.bsky.social’s Shapes with uGUI UI? The Shapes docs describe how to make shapes show up in UI, but have anyone made a neat/performant “binding” for making e.g. Shapes rectangles match the rectangle of a RectTransform?

I made a simple map where the memory captures are shown. I also want to implement functionality to let the player connect pictures with lines.
Now to figure out how to handle:
- Repeated captures of the same object
- Objects that can move
- Choice of photo to pin to screen?
- Deletion

I've implemented "memory capture" for my procedural game about exploring and connecting clues. It's like taking photos of eligible objects, with automatic framing. It reduces the need for (manual) memorization.
For now, it's just the last memory; later a menu with all the photos. #GameDev #IndieDev

Looks like @bsky.app decided to add a cheap emboss effect to their app icon logo???
It’s been some decades since I’ve seen the distinct visual artefacts of this particular filter on an otherwise professionally made logo.

The Voronoi texture traditionally uses a random point distribution, but it can be drawn from ordered points as well. This is a spiral.

I had no idea William Chyr (of Manifold Garden) was working on a VR game, and a room-scale one (where you move around on your own feet) at that.
Fans of Eye of the Temple may want to keep an eye on it.

Excited to announce "Hotel Infinity", a game where you explore a mysterious hotel in roomscale #VR
It's a follow-up to Manifold Garden and builds on a lot of the same ideas (portals, impossible spaces, etc)
Launching in 2025 for #PSVR2 and #MetaQuest3

So, I made a hair shader that doesn't require any specially made meshes or textures.
Initially I made this work by sampling many normal directions rotated around the hair strand direction, but I eventually got an approximation working that doesn't rely on multi-sampling.
