“yesterday i discovered, hill starts were very difficult, i cant ride the clutch because of the throttle problem, and i cant use the handbreak because its broken

so what ive done is fitted this log at the back.

you tow it along normally, but when you want to start on a hill you let the car roll back onto it, use it as a wedge, and set off easily, its simple, its elegant, its brilliant”

within 2 minutes of saying this, he uses it for a hill start, and it works perfectly

and within 30 seconds of that, he breaks the window

i want more fantasy stories where wizards are treated in that culture the way hackers are treated in ours. like ‘and then the wizard spelled the door open. he spelled the guards to be on the good side. he spelled all the food to be poison. he spelled the mayor to give everyone a medal. he spelled his friends to be invisible. he spelled all the swords to explode.’ and anyone who’s actually done any spellwork ever is just sitting there quietly frustrated like magic doesn’t fucking work like that, it’s 90% fussing with numbers alone in your room and 10% lying to people.

This week’s task: mimic the camera & door interaction from Super Metroid.

Here’s what I’m picking up in this:

- camera is offset in the direction player is moving

- camera stops moving when reaches a door. Let’s player move back and forward to the door, but the camera doesn’t follow

- lock on X or Y movement

- “Scene” transitions are done with an animation of the door moving over, player runs through the door and spawns at the other side. This item is the hardest to set up because I have a lot of other events tied to player spawn.
