Apparently upcoming Pirate Software jam will be web-only.

Welp.

Well it was a busy day but I still found some time to gamedev

I wanted an FPS counter, which meant that first I had to implement drawing text with a sprite based font

I've only done the numbers so far but it's a general purpose system so it will get a lot of use

Sprites are working! Lots of optimization to do, but it's progress.

There's a weird judder when the sprite's moving, I suspect it's because the update loop and draw loop are separate, I'll investigate later, maybe tomorrow.

I kind of want to make a survival game where you have a fullness meter, and you starve to death if it hits 0 but if you eat past 100% you explode and there's 💩 everywhere

At first I was like "haha glogging"

And then I was like wait, is glogging a thing? Do I not know about glogging?

I feel like I'm spamming #screenshotsaturday but I'm really happy with today's progress (even though it still looks like nothing)

The current version of the C# WASM integration doesn't do multithreading so I had to implement the game loop with coroutines using IEnumerator. It's freaky but it works

Then I had a weird problem with the colors - for some reason the canvas is using ABGR instead of RGBA or ARGB 😕

Next up... sprites maybe? I'm not sure, but I'm still having fun

I often mistype "administrator" as "administratore" and every time I hear it in an Italian accent in my head

OK it's kind of stupid compared to everyone else's #screenshotsaturday but it took me 8 days to get working

I can now push pixels from C# in WASM to a canvas in the browser 🙌

And other people do entire games in a week... 😅

What is the point of putting URLs in tooltips where they can't be clicked on! 😡

Undo is the best

I love undoing stuff, it's like being able to do magic

I wish I could undo stuff in real life

it feels a bit silly to come up with a whole Label System when i currently have a total of two (2) small cartons of production stuff. but seems better to start doing it earlier than i need than later than i need

I know all the "smart" devices are evil but... I still kind of want my rice cooker to tell me when it's done without having to go down to the kitchen to check...

The Leaving Rust Gamedev article resonates with most of the frustrations I've had working on the internals of Tangerine (C++) since I converted it from being largely single threaded spaghetti to aggressively concurrent spaghetti, and that's making me think maybe I'd have a better time if I picked a different language for the hot paths, because necessary non-compulsory refactoring also kills iteration time.

I just don't know what though, because nothing ever seems to fit the bill of what I need.

Does anyone know how to efficiently paint to a canvas from WASM?

EDIT: thanks for all the boosts but I've solved this now (solution added to the stackoverflow question)

Also, what the fuck is wrong with #Steam play time counting. Every other time I look at it, time actually went down. Come on Valve, you really got a sign error in there or what? I probably need something else to track my time. It was already annoying when playing offline was not counted correctly, but now it's just completely unreliable. Or the next big thing Valve puts out is an actual time machine.
