Cyclomatic complexity - Wikipedia

"Cyclomatic Complexity" sounds like a storm. It's boring once you find out what it is.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloma...

Cellular automata is for making storm/fluid sims but that sadly doesn't really sound like a storm. Using the word "flocking" would be pretty cool though!

Pretty sweet horror themed dream last night. If you clapped your hands in my living room the echo made it down an air duct that was connected to the basement. The giant horrifying squid monster in the basement would slosh around in the water and make angry noises if you made too much noise.

There was a time in the movie industry where they used real bullets instead of squibs and blanks cause it was cheaper and the guilds weren't formed yet. That's where the game industry is at right now.

No "visible" progress is made, but every hour you spend puts you an hour closer to shipping.

Growing up means learning some disappointing truths, like how reflexology has nothing to do with making your reflexes faster. #SadNinjas #GoalieReflexesTheRabbithole

That is so cool! I wanna make a tiny planet game so bad, but all our tools are terrible at it.

One thing that's nice about Windows 11 is that when it blue screens the 2nd time that day I just think, "Maybe I'll use computers less now."

Bug hunting on steam deck. I gotta do some tweaks to help the 40fps part, the new outline shader and see through walls thing hurt the overall rendering but I got some easy wins to do there. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

Yo I've been improving the companion AI. #TamzinTwins is a co-op game first but if you play single player your sister will still kick some butt. I just taught her dodging, spells and sword throwing! #gamedev #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday

I did a bit of skills refactoring for #TamzinTwins . Went from 13 to around 65, it's a star chart with 4 different playstyles and a few skills that help link the 4 playstyles. A top level player will have 18 total skill points. Playtest night will be skills!

I love how one of the best things people mention about the new Steam Frame VR headset is that it isn't owned by an evil corporation.

In all seriousness, I decided to become a game writer because I played a game with terrible writing and thought, "I could at least write this badly."
