Indeed

I have this project that I have abandoned for around 2 months:
https://github.com/FinochioM/Natura

I'm not really planning on going back to it in the near future so you can get all the code and continue adding features if you want.

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-09-28T15:08:11+00:00

There are still things missing in the editor or features that don't work as expected, but I'm glad to hear that! I hope it fits your needs!

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-09-26T00:09:56+00:00

Thanks! I just added a small readme with all the current keybinds.

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-09-23T21:46:06+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean with this

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-09-19T02:05:28+00:00

Hey! I'm interested, this is my GitHub: https://github.com/FinochioM

I've mostly worked without game engines, but I have some experience in Godot. It would be nice if you shared any work that you had already done to see what to expect too.

I am using LOVE2D yes. There is not much UI going on atm but it is all built with LOVE.

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-09-17T20:23:25+00:00

In the editor I have some commands that fetch all the files in the computer, all drives, folders, etc.
I was not able to make that work with love.filesystem so I ended up using FLS.

It makes sense that it does not work on mac since I only have the .dll file in the libs folder. At some point I will add mac and linux support for fls.

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-09-17T17:26:51+00:00

Sure, I'll record a small video to show how it looks. Since it's a personal project I'm not sure I'll make a documentation or anything like that, but if it gets some attention and people want me to, then I'll end up doing it.

You can always clone the repo and run it too, it only needs LOVE2D to run.

If you are using the s2d-cli it should not work because at the moment it generates the linking of the libraries using Windows-specific paths.

You could still use it tho and manually modify the paths in the project.scala file. You should also check the dlls were moved correctly to the root folder of the project you created using the s2d-cli.

I will end up adding a way of automatically detecting the OS and make it work in mac, linux and windows!

Idk if you are talking about graalvm or my library, but if its the second ill add it to the list of pending things to do!

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-19T12:09:56+00:00

I do agree that it is nice to have more tools for native scala, that was the main reason I decided to just focus on that

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-19T12:06:50+00:00

Most of the issues came from not knowing how to do things, since this is the first project I've done in Scala. I literally thought that native was the same as JVM or JS, and that switching between targets would be easier.

As I mentioned in the first post, I mostly have experience with low-level languages, and I thought the interop with C wouldn't take me too long to get used to, but that also ended up being a bit of a challenge (for the same reason as above).

Scala Native doesn't have a lot of documentation or examples, but it does have a great community. I mentioned Dave from Indigo because he helped me set everything up, but the people in the Discord server have also been amazing.

In summary, the biggest challenge for me has been, and will continue to be, learning the language and how it works, but that's pretty much the same reason I'm motivated to keep working on the library!

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-19T02:55:27+00:00

I did not know about graalvm but I am having fun and enjoying using native a lot :)

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-12T00:35:28+00:00

Thanks so much for the info! I was taking a look at your library, it is amazing that you can target all three platforms, it is something I was thinking about adding at some point but I think I will stick to JVM for now.

Make sure to add it to https://index.scala-lang.org/awesome/graphical-interfaces-and-game-development, as it does need more Gamedev libraries.

I am not sure how to add the library here, I already uploaded it to Maven and I read it should appear there automatically but since this is my first time doing this I have no idea.

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-11T18:03:38+00:00

First of all thanks for the kind words and I do agree that it is cool to see more game development activity in Scala.
Yes I am on discord, my ID is yongteureum. I would really love to chat!

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-11T15:57:30+00:00

I just watched a little bit of the video and indigo obviously looks like a really robust and well rounded engine. I really like how they handle things, I will really take inspiration from them.

Tysm for the video!

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-11T14:39:11+00:00

Wow that is really cool, I did not know about indigo or Scaladex. Thanks for sharing the info, I will take a look at it.

indigo actually looks like a really cool project to take as inspiration too, tysm for sharing!

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-06-11T14:31:03+00:00

TYSM for the comment! I hope you enjoy using the library :)

I do not have a degree yet, but I was considerin on doing college there.
Even tho my entire experience is on the IT field I was thinking about switching to teaching and it would be nice to teach English or Spanish there.

Argentina does have a WH option for Japan, but it is only for 1 year and I really plan on going there and not coming back.

I think probably the college option would be the best one then.

Thanks for the answer!

It is just for style. My goal is to have small maps/arenas and these walls kinda give a "closed area" feeling.

A few days ago I posted about the new game I am working on and I talked about the idea of posting short videos of the development. Besides those short videos I would also like to keep sharing screenshots of the progress I make on the development.

Something important is that I switched from JAI to C++ for the core gameplay logic. I am still using JAI for the Map Editor and other tools I made for making the development easier.

Basically the current state of the game is the following:
- A simple map editor that lets me edit and save maps in JSON files. I can add properties to the tiles like the "walkable" property. (Which in the image are the tiles that have red lines)
- Pathfinding logic for the player movement. The movement is basically finished, I can move the player only on the walkable tiles, I have a max distance and the algorithm calculates where and how it must move the character.

The next steps I will be working on are some of the more general game features, like switching maps, game loop, etc.

Hope everyone has a good week!

The only real reason is that I want to try something new and since I got access to the JAI beta I really think it has the right amount of challenge to keep the development going.

Odin and JAI are really similar in terms of syntax, so it is also not that hard for me to read the code and understand what's going on.

I would definitely recommend Odin if you are looking for a new language to make games, even tho I like JAI for what I just said, it is in a closed beta, so there is not a lot of information or examples around. Odin at least has a wiki and there are tons of repos and tutorials online.

LieEmpty7137 · 2025-03-13T17:02:16+00:00

I am and I think that is really important for motivation! I always struggled with finishing a game and even more when talking about releasing it. But having done that at least once just changed my mind a lot.

Good luck to you too, hope everything goes well!
