#gamedev progress:

• started work on UI elements
• Guest will no longer be checked in automatically. Instead the player has to choose a room for them (ideally based on preferences)

#

#gamedev progress:

• added funds mechanism. Guests pay based on length of stay and final mood. Rooms now have a cost
• added a trait system for guests, which change their behavior/needs.

#

#gamedev progress on unnamed hotel game:

• Spent a lot of time trying to streamline the guest AI code. This is something I still can wrap my head around entirely, partially due to #rust, mainly as this is something I never worked on before.
• Corridors and doors are now rendered in front of rooms. Rooms are only shown if someone is in them.
• Added simple buttons as start of UI.
• It's now possible to place new rooms.

#

#gamedev progress:

• refactored entire "Person" struct into individual structs for "Guest" and "Employee".
  • Separated logic and data.
  • AI actions are now individual structs that implement an Action trait
• Started working on a Mood & Thoughts system.

#gamedev progress:

Slow progress in the last couple of sessions. I've started to implement employees. Employees work at rooms/stations whenever a guest wants to interact with them (e.g. booking a room). I'm not yet 100% happy with the implementation (blaming my #rust skills).

Additionally implemented a hunger+restaurant prototype.

#

#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.

#

#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
