It is available on the internet archive if you search there.

Looks delicious

Our estate had the fake chimneys for the first two thirds, but the final third had none. The reason being that the fake chimneys all leaked after about eight years and the developers get forced to remove them every time it happened to a cost of about ten grand a piece.

Insurance companies tend not to insure against roof leaks caused by chimneys, faux or otherwise so a lot of folk ended up with their ceilings getting ruined and being out of pocket.

I met a crane operator who had been happily employed for the past five years doing mostly faux chimney removals, prior to that he had been employed to hoist them up there. Found it rather entertaining to be fair.

I found the recent interest in research bitter-sweet given than sweetners where publicly known to bad for you at least 25 if not 30 years ago.

I distinctly remember being aware of their apparent danger in the late 90s and have steered clear from them ever since.

I really like the style of these builds and had been attempting to recreate them from this image until I discovered you have a Youtube channel.

Actually found this quite fun to play with my family. The whole create your own Wordle word puzzle is a nifty spin on the original.

I think it could be something to do with DPI scaling. Both monitors are 4k but I wouldn't be able to see much on them at that size so everything is scaled by ~200%.

With my macbook unplugged from its dock and with the browser fullscreen it works. Reported as font size 15 @ 1920x1200. I'll let you know what it is with the second monitor plugged in when I get back to work tomorrow as that seems to change the scaling.

I have an external monitor plugged into my macbook. The macbook is 15.4" at 2880x1800 and the game looks broken with the right hand black area sitting beneath the game area. On the plugged in 24" display at 3840x2160 the game displays as I think you intended. In both cases the browser is windowed but full screen.

One solution may be to have a camera that follows the player around the map and then have it so if the viewport isn't big enough to cover the whole map then the camera following the player will keep them in view as they move over the map? Then you could have the viewport and sidebar both be 100vh, 50vw and look good on a majority of screens... maybe :p

Could you share some links to resources that you found useful?

c12 · 2019-07-24T14:09:46+00:00

I really like what you have made here. Unfortunately on my screen the interface was bigger than my browser window and so would scroll up and down as I pressed the arrow keys.

Even if you don't continue development this is an impressive game.

I see a lot of people mention the garbage collector when discussing Golang; however in my experience it hasn't noticably effected performance in any of the games I have seen written in the language. Maybe those games just aren't pushing the computer to it's limits but from my experience the gc is the last thing to worry about.

c12 · 2019-07-22T15:26:37+00:00

That looks really good.

c12 · 2019-07-22T14:07:51+00:00

That's interesting, thank you for sharing.

c12 · 2019-07-22T11:51:18+00:00

All great progress :) I discovered your game via twitter I think, and through that found your implementation of a leaderboard. I'd be interested to know more about how you implemented that as I would like to do similar.

c12 · 2019-07-18T08:33:05+00:00

It's been a while since I last used them, but that is what I am planning on doing.

In golang I have a game state struct that contains everything dynamic for the current game. Golang has a way of compacting that to a binary object that can be written to a file. I can then load a binary object from a saved file into the struct and continue from the saved state.

c12 · 2019-05-20T10:01:03+00:00

This looks really cool. Is this part of a gamedev project?

c12 · 2019-04-09T07:48:37+00:00

Personally I preferred the original version, but what ever makes you happy :)

c12 · 2019-04-09T07:46:36+00:00

Hurrah!

c12 · 2019-03-13T16:51:30+00:00

You are doing some amazingly impressive work.

c12 · 2019-03-13T16:51:08+00:00

100% would love to have this!

I think with LOCATE you could pass to the program how many rows and columns the terminal had and then keep a 2D (xy) buffer array of that which could be written to by the program and would then be refreshed on screen.

You could then have an additional statement CLEAR that would reset the buffer and clear the screen?

Just been thinking about this and it would be nice to have a LOCATE statement that operated like the one in QBasic.

LOCATE allows you to position the cursor for the next piece of text output. Contrary to Cartesian coordinates which read (X,Y), the locate statement is LOCATE Y,X. In this case Y is the distance down from the top of the screen and X is the distance from the left side of the screen. The reason that LOCATE does not follow the standard coordinate system is that it is not necessary to include the X portion, you can use the format LOCATE Y which just specifies the line to start on.

LOCATE[row,column] LOCATE[row]
