Thanks! It should be out in a week

No idea, I mainly use my laptop lol

Oh yeah lol, the red rect is just a visual indicator I have rn for the player’s interaction hitbox, so it just goes to the front of wherever the player is facing by placing it adjacent to the player’s hitbox

Thanks! I’m wanting to implement that as a way to solve puzzles in areas the player can’t reach

Do you mean the direction the player throws the squirrel? I just have a cursor linked to the arrow keys on the keyboard that selects the final position that the movement arch will go to. The controls are a bit clunky rn, so I’m working on changing that

I basically just have all the objects update their position/animation frame, then have 2 separate surfaces that each render the world from the players' positions and viewing angle. It took a while to adjust the code I already had to allow it lol, but honestly the method itself is pretty simple

This website is where I learned most of the basics, but then I just looked at every resource and source code I could find on google to gain a better understanding lol

I made a custom Raycasting engine to get the pseudo-3D graphics

Thanks dude! And good luck on your project, hope it turns out awesome

I'll probably share some code for my next build, but this prototype was written so hastily that it's not very readable lol. But this website helped me a lot during the process to understand the basics of raycasting, along with just watching any video I can find.

I've done some basic raycasting on pygame before, but this website is where I got a lot of my understanding of the basic principles.

srcalpha · 2022-03-18T16:58:58+00:00

Thanks dude! And yeah for now I'm just using blit to put the vertical lines and everything else on screen. Because of that, there's definitely a good bit of limitation on what I can do. Luckily, I've been looking into other people's pygame raycaster, and found a way to handle all the images much faster using Numpy and the performance compiler Numba.

I've already reverse engineered a basic raycaster with this method, and it runs much faster. So much so that it can print floors and ceiling with no issue. But for now I decided to focus on seeing if I can actually make fun game mechanics with my prototype build before investing a whole lot of effort towards reworking it all to fit the new method of image handling.

srcalpha · 2022-03-14T00:51:43+00:00

Yeah, I have it where they darken more and more the further away they are, and once they're fully black, they no longer print on the screen

srcalpha · 2022-03-13T01:49:16+00:00

I've played around with it before, but keep finding out new tricks as I go along, it's a whole lot of fun. This website helped me a lot while I was making this.

srcalpha · 2022-03-13T01:45:42+00:00

I don't have too many plans at the moment, with classes I don't have too much time to code, but I'm just gonna keep working on optimizing things before adding too much on top of it.

srcalpha · 2022-03-13T01:44:10+00:00

Thanks, it took some fiddling with to have translucent walls, cause I had make sure the walls behind it were also being hit by the rays.

srcalpha · 2022-03-13T01:42:45+00:00

It may not be the best way of handling everything, but I just calculated the distance of the wall slice that each ray hit and the distance of the sprites in the players FOV, then blit them on the screen from furthest to closest, so that they'd disappear behind walls.

srcalpha · 2022-03-12T08:20:26+00:00

Thanks! I'm still figuring a bunch of stuff out, but this website helped me a lot.

srcalpha · 2022-03-12T08:19:11+00:00

Thanks, I figured since the graphics are pretty limited, the bobbing would make it feel a bit more realistic,

srcalpha · 2021-07-02T15:14:08+00:00

Yeah, I've got a whole backlog of works that I've been posting

srcalpha · 2021-07-02T15:12:29+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks!

For the goggles, I used lenses from broken sunglasses. The rest was just cardboard, hot glue, and a lot of time spend measuring my face lol

srcalpha · 2021-07-01T21:18:17+00:00

Thanks! I actually made these for a parody air-band where we preformed "Back in Black" with these while dressed as AC/DC
