Stats in Action!
23.2.2026
Using resources I have added unique object-stats, which means boulders can remember damage and strike force isn’t hard-coded.
I learned that a duplicate of a resource won’t affect other duplicates.
# It's this simple!
var resource_copy: EpicResourceClassName = resource.duplicate()
# Now I can change it however I want!
resource_copy.is_cool_and_original = false
This is fantastic, because I had too many confusing dictionaries managing stats. Now there is only one confusing dictionary-thing! (About it: “Outro” → “The Chain of Events”)
The action (no sound):
The worker in the video clip is using a tool with one force and zero absorption.
The boulders have also received a new sprite yet again:
The background is supposed to be transparent. I do not know why it is a flashbang.
This is the best one so far, but I will keep drawing more rocks.
Outro
I’ve been meaning to post for quite a long time. Here is some text I found in the recycling bin:
The Chain of Events
"I reworked striking and moving. Now the receive_force() -function has been renamed to the move_force() -function. When force is applied to an object, it will move on the grid, until it runs out of force, or it collides with something. When an object stops moving, it will store what happened in a dictionary and the append it into an array.
If the object collides with an obstacle, the object receives crush-damage and applies force to the obstacle. Consequentially (fancy word), the obstacle will become the next object in the chain of events."
Boring name for a text about the boring task of cleaning names
“I also did some clean-up. Previously some of the game files, such as the textures, were capitalized, now they are all fully lower-case. In addition, all class names are now in PascalCase. How exciting!”
If this post feels a little low quality compared to my other posts, that’s because it is. I have a habit of being a perfectionist. This is me training to release stuff instead of honing 'em for the rest of eternity.
I am now writing a comment about me reading this about me not posting this.
Now I am commenting about honing my comment.
POST. POST. POST.
Here is a little sneak peak for my next post:
The background is supposed to be transparent. I do not know why it is a flashbang.
…here you can read about my struggles (also about my next post):
Thanks for reading! More posts are coming soon!
Also, is it possible to underline text?
