#gamedev progress:

• materials are loaded from a configuration file
• Adventurers return from quests and spawn a treasure chest
• reworked text element to automatically adjust height of element

#

#gamedev

refactored hero logic into state pattern. So much better!

#

#gamedev progress:

• Trader implementation: appear regularly at the tavern selling materials for crafting.
• Adventurers implementation: Have a quest and can be booked into rooms. When the embark on a quest after their stay.
• Reworked items: previously I had an enum to distinguish between different items. This would become infeasible once I start adding more items. Rework to have a generic item struct.
• Reworked recipes: similar to items, each recipe is now a struct. The recipe defines the ingredient requirements and a function to generate the resulting item.

#

#gamedev progress:

• sorting sprites by layers for drawing
• first item crafting

#

#gamedev progress:

• added first items. Items are always placed in slots.
• items can be dragged between slots.

#

#gamedev progress:

• built a UI system using "immediate mode" style.

Code for one button:

if (d.add_inter(.{ .BUTTON = .{} }, .{ .owner = i, .item = 0, .index = 0 })) {
    std.debug.print("BUTTON KITCHEN\n", .{});
}
d.down();
{
    d.add(.{ .V_LIST = .{} });
    d.down();
    {
        d.add(.{ .TEXT = .{ .text = "Kitchen", .box = rl.Vector2.init(200, 20) } });
        d.add(.{ .TEXT = .{ .text = "100 G", .box = rl.Vector2.init(200, 20) } });
    }
    d.up();
}
d.up();

#gamedev progress on hotel game:

• did some further refactoring to rendering function
• added room highlighting when building new rooms and selecting bed rooms for new guests

Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed about this #rust code :D

// mark building tile
if let Some(mut r) = match game.mouse_action {
    MouseAction::BuildGrill => Some(Room::new_grill()),
    MouseAction::BuildStairs => Some(Room::new_stairs()),
    MouseAction::BuildBedroom => Some(Room::new_bed_room()),
    MouseAction::BuildCorridor => Some(Room::new_corridor()),
    MouseAction::BuildRestaurant => Some(Room::new_restaurant()),
    MouseAction::BuildWineCellar => Some(Room::new_wine_cellar()),
    _ => None,
} {
    // rendering code
}

#

#gamedev progress:

• generalized character rendering to share code between guests and employees.
• Added support for different animations. Animations are determined by the current action executed by the character.
• Employees are now rendered with new character system.

#

#gamedev progress on hotel game:

• further work on sprites in new format
  • 32x32 for characters
  • 48x48 for rooms
• added roof to the hotel
• shirt and pants color of each guest is now randomized

#

#gamedev progress:

• game world is now rendered with a scaling. Default canvas has a size of 640x360 to nicely scale for common resolutions.
• UI is still rendered at full screen resolution.
• started to rework guest sprite. Choose a sprite size of 32x32 and started work on animation (4 frame walk cycle, 2 frame idle cycle)
• Separated body parts into individual sprites to allow customizing each guest with different skin and cloth colors and hair styles.
