#gamedev progress:

• Implemented A* for navigation
• Started implementing the guests #AI. At the moment they only book a room at the reception and then idle in their room. If no room is available they leave.
• Added further debugging to show path, tasks stack and inventory.

#

#gamedev progress:

Wrote function to find all tiles which are reachable from another one. Rooms have now a property to define how they connect to their neighbors.

#

#gamedev progress

Fixed my 2D camera to correctly transform form screen coords to world coords. Added a debug indicator to show the tile of the mouse.

It's always a cool feeling for me to find a bug in an #opensource library/framework I use. It's extra cool if can track it down and fix it.

For me this is also a signal that I reached a certain seniority as a developer. At the start of my career 100% of issues with other people's code was "holding it wrong". But now I'm tackling harder problems and more often reach the "rough edges" that others haven't cared about before.

#

#gamedev progress:

I'm in the mood for game development again. This is the progress after the second evening on a yet unnamed game.

Not much yet just:

• rendering ground
• rendering rooms

I'm currently using #rust and #sdl2

Stop actively looking for "things to program". Spend time in other hobbies than programming and eventually you will stumble over problems you can solve with programming.

If you want to build games, maybe build clones of games you like, but start simple! Build Tetris, not World of Warcraft.

I've tried this quickly and you can use pango markup to change the text color in the label.

Here is a snippet with a label and a button that changes the text color from blue to red.

    let label = Label::builder().label("<span foreground=\"blue\">Blue text</span>").build();
    label.set_use_markup(true);
    tool_box.append(&label.clone());
    let button = Button::builder().label("Change").build();
    button.connect_clicked(move |button| {
        println!("Moved");
        label.set_label("<span foreground=\"red\">Red text</span>");
    });
    tool_box.append(&button.clone());
