@Jimmy I hate that word :/

then it should be easy to remember that it starts with "fuch"

Ok time to start the game of life. I am going to do one with squares and octagons i think

Oh. I thought you were about to get a job.

Currently I am having some PTO

Thinking of streaming these small projects

i am also having PTSD

🤔

patterns are emerging :p

i.imgur.com/jFwlGrG.gifv well its getting better

i wonder whether i should make a directional game of life

like instead of NSWE I will leave EAST out for example

@Kay This looks like a hex grid at first but it's actually just a regular square grid with weird boxes.

well its a squaregrid pretty much

but the octagons and squares have ifferent kind of neighbour property

like squares only have 4 and octagon have 8

Enough with that game of life, time to pursue my main project

What I always seem to struggle with my projects is what should i do next

@Kay Next as in a new project, or next as in a new feature / change to make on an existing project?

Rather what kind of features/changes I should pursue next.

How would you describe the current state?

Unfinished :D

Truth been told I am not quite sure whether I am heading in the right direction

I guess that wasnt the answer you were looking for

Sounds like you don't have a goal for your project? Maybe you need a design doc for your project. Or an elevator pitch.

Well I don't have a design document but I know what the premise of my game should be. For me while the fights seem to be smooth but for me there seems to be something fundamentally off with the fights and I cant really tell what it is

@Kay Looks like you need testers :p

Definitely, including people familiar with the genre and people who are not

Some of them may even be able to articulate what they think is wrong, and they might not articulate the root cause but they might help you figure out what it is. Some of them will just outright directly articulate the root problem for you.

@Tyyppi_77 I apologize for making you feel singled out. I only mentioned it because the literal "filler text" caught my eye as something that didn't really contribute to the point you were making.

@Tyyppi_77 Since OP has responded answering the VSYNC question, I think we can just delete both comments asking about VSYNC and my reply. Does that sound appropriate to you?

Done, thank you.

@DMGregory works for me. :)

Thanks all!

Yeah probably I just need someone to give me feedback

@Kay Nice! I like the octo+square grid idea.

@Kay If you don't mind sharing - what spawn/keep alive/die rules did you use for that?

@Pikalek Octo Spawn and Stay alive is both 2. Die is anything else. Square is Spawn 2,3; Stay alive 2

You can easily make a spaceship with that that leaves a trail, its quiet funny
