Path Generation Test
This week, I spent a lot of time optimizing what little code I had so far and creating a path generation function. This video shows paths that are generated randomly and connected. It also shows camera movement.
There's a lot wrong with the state of the game in the video right now. Paths have a weird grass seam between them, the camera is always one frame behind the character, the whole game feels stuttery for some reason, and the image file for the path is a texture sheet of 256 textures, only 47 of which are actually used. That's over 80% of an entire PNG image just being thrown away! I tried getting smart with how I use the path texture, but I think I started trying to get too smart and now that's what I have. As long as file sizes stay low enough, everything should be okay. I also wrote a prototype for a gambling game that I want to appear in the game, which you can play here. Money means nothing and is just a means to see how "balanced" the game is, even though the enemy player is very stupid.
