MessagePack Class Serializer was kicking my ass for 4 hours straight (!!!) today because I was trying to pass encoded [1,2] array packet and was expecting it to be deserialized as the first int[] field of my class. The answer to my problem was [[1,2]]... x__x

I _neeeed_ whoever hasn't muted me yet to know about how ^HYPED^ I am about switching from generic json to msgpack parser for my socket-io packet communication tomorrow. Nice to have things to look forward to (8

Spent the whole day implementing the A* pathfinding algorithm for grid-based collision maps. Figured out that Python would do a much better job with such calculations, but its syntax is still too alien to me, so I had to improvise with JavaScript (o:

Compiling my progress chunks into devlog posts is probably going to be a more dopamine inducing way of posting to keep me going, compared to bluesky threads, especially since I haven't been blogging for some time and need to get back into the habit.

Thinking in advance about how I would make and install client patches, and I think I could just include itch's butler executable into the game's folder and have my separate updater made in Godot call it after downloading a patch (that I also made previously with butler)?

Added movement interpolation, 8-direction path finding, and player body rotation packets. A bit of weird acceleration happening, but so far it's functional :)

Can't wait to add movement interpolation, 8-direction path finding, and player character orientation packets nexttttt

Started the day scared, having no idea how to implement an update method with deltaTime on a nodejs server.
Ended the day with not only that, but also with simple mouse grid controls and server path finding :o)

Oops, now I have to implement server ticks and timers *instant morale drop*

Simple player movement through server done, now onto sharing those movements among all players :)
