Oh? When did you get a chance to see them? Did Dave show you the game?

Indeed updates would be good.

Glad to hear it all worked out. I loved, absolutely loved the animations for jumping you did.

Awesome!
Really helped me design the class structure for my own skeletal animation system.
Thanks a lot

Welcome back to the internet.

Would you like some cats?

great to hear. can’t wait for some open network testing. When it ocmes to gameplay i think it would work great as a card game, you build and take cards, some card give you credits, more blocks or weapons, your opponent has a big tower, almost nearing the goal and surprise-you blow it all up. credits can go to new parts, weapons etc. balancing would be key here, cuz blowing up everything without any order would render building the tower pointless.

Not as much as you’d think! Since the simulation ends up pretty similar between the server and client, and user interaction with the simulation is actually pretty minimal, it ends up being pretty easy to synchronize… and even when it doesn’t sync up too well, it’s rarely a huge issue.

That isn’t to say it isn’t something I’m going to need to work on, but it’s proven fairly lag tolerant so far.

finally new posts, sounds interesting. syncing all the physics online will be pretty hard tough.

I was partially inspired with the tenacity (and frequency) with which you update your own blog.

i found js vids on yt a long time ago and i loved them. i’m now developing my own skeletal animation system and you’re a great example to follow. i’m trying to use my experience as an animator to create the best behavior possible. i’m looking forward to more posts m8!
