My first title, Little Rocket Lab, has now been out for a week, and it's been huge for myself and @nomorerobots.io. We're at over 80,000 players, and a 93% positive rating on steam.

I wanted to share some of what guided Little Rocket Lab's development, so that maybe it could be helpful to others ๐Ÿงต:

This is a solid roundup of the ways Winnipeg is making progress. We can always wish these changes were faster but the fact they're happening at all makes me excited for the city's future

This is a #godotengine remake of my first ever Ludum Dare entry, which was way back in 2013! I had a lot of fun re-creating and making some tweaks to this old idea to give it a bit of new life โœจ

Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.

With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.

A diagram showing different corners with different equations.
For the circular corner: x = cos(t * PI/2); y = sin(t * PI/2)
For the parabolic corner: x = 1 - t * t; y = t * (2 - t)

A diagram showing different corners with different equations. For the circular corner: x = cos(t * PI/2); y = sin(t * PI/2) For the parabolic corner: x = 1 - t * t; y = t * (2 - t)

Here are the equations for the different corners. If you're using this for realtime, you might appreciate the simplicity and lack of expensive trig functions:

your #blender3d import looks no good in #godotengine?
the import workflow has incosistencies in rendering & lighting. in this thread i will search the differences in PBR & shading and point to some potential pitfalls.
