Vigilant Steel devlog @vigilant_steel@framapiaf.org

I also added touch controls, so you can try the web version from phones as well 😂 though it still doesn't resize right #emscripten #gamedev

All that's left is this tractor beam, allowing the player to reconfigure her ship and pick up new blocks! #gamedev

I made the camera follow the ship, and added a simple parallax background.
Trying to get that first demo ready! #gamedev

Yesterday I added mouse controls, and made the guns aim at the cursor. Problem: you tend to shoot yourself 😂 #gamedev
Should guns know not to shoot? Or should bullets simply go over the ship? Not sure...

Just filed a ton of issues for what I plan to do: https://gitlab.com/remram44/vigilant-steel/issues
If you've used #emscripten before, I could really use a little help! #gamedev

Pieces broken off objects now become their own objects and float away! (with correct mass/inertia/center of gravity) #gamedev https://framapiaf.org/media/NJeXfRp6SfVMUvhU4BI

Projectiles can now destroy individual blocks off of objects!
Next steps: split off objects that become disjoint, and pick up blocks for broken ships. Then I'll have a first demo!

Tuesday I finally got collisions working! Objects now bounce off of each other, even though I'm still using bounding rectangles for everything.
Now on to the fun stuff: making ships out of singular blocks, that contribute to ship's statistics individually! #gamedev https://framapiaf.org/media/Fw7JhYPPsVeFSzZEKyk

Hi everyone! This is where I'll be publishing the devlog of my side project, vigilant-steel (<3 GitHub's repository name generator). It'll be a 2D space game built with the Rust language and Piston

Might as well have this open source -- published Vigilant Steel source code on GitLab, under the GPLv3: https://gitlab.com/remram44/vigilant-steel #gamedev
This is starting to take shape!
