Oh no, I appear to be starting to write a sailing simulator.

It was only a matter of time. 🥲 I love writing simulators for things I am learning. It bolsters my understanding so much!

Step one: scrolling tiled water background. ✅

✅ Dufour 31 sprite drawing
✅ Decided on scale (40 pixels / metre at cameraScale = 1.0)

I chose the Dufour 31 because that's what I learned in during the 4-day class I took in February. :3

Fantastic attitude & really resonates:

"Mario Kart 64 was released in 1996. Since then, my cartridge hasn’t received any patches/updates/DLC. It continues to make me smile."

Ok, wow! Making a low resolution slide rule is surprisingly easy!

I made this one using only a pencil, ruler, two index card halves, and a scan of a table of logarithms from 1617. ✌🏻

Questions welcome :D

@tty could I see the table of logarithms that you used?

My new website is live: kira.solar

It's basically the same content as before, but it's now powered by a little wiki engine I wrote from bash and nodejs scripts!

One day I hope I get to ride in (or build) one of these.

They're called tarai-bune. You might remember it from Spirited Away!

@tty I love everything that's remotely similar to sculling :D

Updated the lil #uxn tile map renderer to have camera movement inertia. 😎

It's some work to add, and isn't something people usually explicitly notice in a game, but it adds a definite *gamefeel* that I've come to appreciate.
