I love it, Chase! I’ve been meaning to pick your brain a bit on something.
I’ll be creating some sort of mechanism for users to create wireframe objects for the monsters and such. Those objects, essentially, are vector images. In a thread many moons ago, you had mentioned that you had dabbled a bit in that space.
I didn’t necessarily make any progress on rotated sprites, but dealing with vectors is SO MUCH easier.
I recommend you look at a little game that I made a while ago. I just had to update it and document it.
I dabbled in making a vector graphics extension and this is pretty much as far as I got. Feel free to look at it and steal as much as you want from it.
Oh, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. You can ask here in the thread (or I think this platform supports messaging), or reach me on Discord.
Nice work, Chase! I appreciate you sharing it. I particularly like the ability to set an alternate center point to make rotating the sprite more flexible.
For those of you following along, vector images are the next step on the to-do list. (I’ve already crossed-off some of the other items.) I’ll probably release vector images as a separate extension in case it’s of use to anyone. After that, I’ll add diminishing visibility to the dungeon, and then wrap all of this up into a beta-version of an extension.
I started programming when I was 10 years old, @Blobiy, and I remember thinking the same thing at your age (and long afterward, too!). Keep working at it! We all started somewhere, and all of us here probably started in different environments. MakeCode Arcade, though, is a wonderful place to learn programming!
If you like programming, and if you work hard at it, then you can make a career out of it. The world needs high-quality programmers … and, I think, we always will. Hang in there, and be sure to ask us for help when you get stuck!
P.S. I see that Joey replied to your other thread. If you’re still stuck, just let us know over there. If you get stuck with something else, just start a new thread. We’re all here to help!
You also can just roam around the built-in dungeon here:
I haven’t worked on this very much lately, but I’ll get back to this one when the schedule frees up a bit. This one’s been a lot of fun so far, and I’m looking forward to getting back into the dungeons to create some monsters!
