I'm always amazed that I wrote some of the code I uncover in my code base. It's garbage some of it.

You can always make pathfinding faster at the expense of memory. In case you've not come across them before, Vector Fields could work for you... depending on map sizes. If there's sort of "landmark" tiles that you always need to pathfind to, storing a vector field for each could improve th...

I think I'm about 80% of the way on the map generation. In this example, each colour represents a new RoomId. This way I can place certain room-biomes in specific locations so that each room sort of has a "purpose" within this weird megastructure. I still need to make this into a 3D map, b...

Thank you! Hacking simulator sounds cool! I have a musical education so I can play piano, guitar and sing but, first of all, I want to find out more about programs for making music such as FL Studio, for example as they still remain a mystery for me. https://indiegamedev.net/2020/03/03/lets-make-sa...

Thanks guys. Yeah, so far the AI is limited in what it does, but it's performing it's tasks in a super modular way. My goal was to make a core system that I can incrementally add new features to as time goes on. This means right now I've got a couple more "big" things to do until I can jus...

I'm not 100% with your data layout from your description; but on the surface, having a series of pointers to neighbour tiles is going to cause a lot of cache misses.

Are these pointers to each of the subtitles on the neighbour positions, or pointers to the "parent" tile?

Small video example of how it's going so far.

I looked into making a hacking simulator game a while ago, but I got stuck on the design. I love your desktop image.

How are you going to go about recording your music? Are you a muscician?

That's quite a combination. How are you thinking about making these work together?

I use like one kind of game because I'm too scared about trying to combine things like you're doing.

Those are the reasons I don't add the feature from early either. I guess I just don't remember to come back to it early enough. End result is I can play through the game without being able to save, then I need to add the save game feature, so now I'm adding serialisation to everything. Yeah I had a...
