On a side note, @danger_kitty did create an 8-directional system in his demo of Requiem, which I think is a great way to create it without wasting space. The system I used in Requiem: Lost Station was very crude due to no other pre-existing 8-directional system at the time. But the system was similar to @danger_kitty’s in concept.
This does allow room for a possible Makecode Arcade port or remake of my upcoming game. I’ll try to see what I can do with the demo @danger_kitty provided. Extremely happy with what he managed to do based on the text from the Requiem: Lost Station topic. Keep up the good work and I hope to see your demo turn into a full fledged game!
