Not. Enough. TIME.

A game is a lot like pasta.
Pasta is technically edible after a few minutes of boiling, if a bit chewy, not very nice.
If you cook it with patience, perhaps with some oil, at a rolling boil in salted water, drain it and add a nice sauce with some roasted vegetables, and present it on a beautiful plate, with beautiful cutlery on a beautiful table in a beautiful restaurant with beautiful sounds and scents; VERY NICE.
What a drag.
Recent threads, and my very poor algorithm for my minimap plugin have made me face the fact that I need to review algorithms and such.
Going through Cracking the Coding Interview now. I am so excited.
Todo:
Add fog of war
Add enemy indicators
Make window draggable
Optimise map drawing algorithm (5 seconds to load the map you see, so it's a... poo-poo algorithm)
Any suggestions?
I watched Vinland Saga recently. I really like the cultural world-building point that the young Danes are always idolizing war. They don't know about the tragedy of it, they only think of it as glorious. And for many of them, even seasoned warriors, they still have to come to terms with the fact that their vision of glory is an illusion, through pain.
This talk has really changed the direction of my thinking about where my game is going.
I found something that has broadened my horizons.
I'm such a little baby writer that everything I learn about broadens my horizons.
Yesterday I learnt about this thing called "rhyme" and I will use it to its fullest extent. A true revolutionary, I know.

NTS: The tint of the screen can make a tonal promise to the player, and amplify the emotions you want. Remember to use this.
Been trying to find, for lack of a better term, a system that allows me to easily consider flaws and what causes them in a character. I found a list of negative "affects and cognitions" which is inspirational in that way. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3351545/
In writing my tile visualiser, I’ve written code that is useful for making a minimap.
So I’m making a minimap too
I’ll try to release it soon!
It will have fog of war
(Working on all of the plugins of my game in iterations and as needed, so most of them won’t be at a releasable point for a long time.)
Because anime songs are written to purposely complement the story of the anime, their lyrics are a good inspiration for emotional points, flaws, motivations, behaviours, etc.
It always takes longer than you think. Always, always, always.
What are some of the most emotional points of your stories? How do you make your characters suffer?
Character: I am a lost boy who became a giant spider. I don't know why. I can't get help. People run away in fear, as my head is the size of a pumpkin. I'm disgusted with myself every time I eat; I can step on bunnies and eat them like Doritos.
Have fun :3
Most recent google search: how to make readers feel so much pain.
The Tilemap class is gibberish.
Anyway, currently the tile visualizer draws the sprites floating, like a window. I want them imposed over the map, so that when the camera moves, they stay where they're supposed to. So I need to understand the Tilemap class. ._.
As a programmer, I have officially encountered the first time I've had to do calculus since 3 years ago.
Been working on a tile visualizer, almost there
Time Fantasy resource pack is used in this image.
Anyone know a simple function / plugin with the ability to add an event to the map after it has been loaded? -
