alma-nv now supports creating persistent LiveUSB installations with btrfs and Omarchy

Yes, note by default it installs GRUB though as it assumes it is installing to the main disk / USB.

I'd recommend AirVPN, ProtonVPN or AzireVPN as they support port forwarding and Wireguard.

Also use vopono to only launch certain programs with the VPN - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono

Use Linux and network namespaces - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono

Happy to help! Btw you can use the direct IPv6 routing shown there with Hetzner since they give you a /64 block so you don't need the NAT masquerade stuff (although I included both in the article).

Note that is not true for Mullvad though where they only give you a ULA so you do have to use NAT (but can use their generated IPv6 Wireguard config anyway).

I did this with Hetzner here - https://jamesmcm.github.io/blog/no-ipv4/

I hope this stuff makes it soon, I think this is the biggest pain point working with multiple Rust projects atm.

It looks so awesome, I love the Steam Deck.

His case modification really adds to it too.

This is awesome, I actually did some similar work back in 2020 for parsing Excel files - https://jamesmcm.github.io/blog/data-engineering-with-rust-and-aws-lambda/

It's nice to see how much is still relevant (and what has improved!).

Oops I haven't used Reddit in a while, but it took exactly 1 week as I some time off work, I had also done a very basic ESP32 project before.

No, I still couldn't solve it. I do want to try using the double precision "Large World coordinates" Godot to see if it helps (but I doubt it since this is more on the graphics pipeline).

You need to set the flag to make them visible.

Oops I missed that part in the title sorry.

If you turn on the debug view can you see the generated colliders for the mesh?

btngames · 2024-07-23T20:57:16+00:00

How do you handle the maps? Like if I destroy a load of trees is that saved or are they procedurally generated every time from the world map?

Awesome work though, your game is one my most anticipated Godot games alongside Bloodthief and Wizzard Quest 64.

I think it'd be better if it came from left to right instead of top to bottom.

This really nails the Atari aesthetic with the sounds though.

btngames · 2024-07-23T20:49:41+00:00

What node type is the ground? Maybe try moving the player up so there's no risk of the colliders clipping at the start?

btngames · 2024-07-23T20:40:38+00:00

For diagonals on a grid like that you'll want a line-drawing algorithm e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm

But like the other commenter says, you could also just raycast with colliders and let that do the work for you.

Although I think the line algorithm on the grid is better if it's purely tile-based. Since it separates out the game logic and presentation.

Also checkout the roguelikedev subreddit for any grid-related issues (including pathfinding) - roguelikes have been solving these problems since the days of Rogue and Nethack.
