Stop describing your game using other games
  • mac mac Now 100%

    Keywords in what I said being "everyone on reddit knows what reddit is". Had that there since a lot of comparisons of lemmy being similar to reddit happened on reddit itself but if people are talking on lemmy or elsewhere the comparison shouldnt come up unless the other user initiates that (especially if theres more people like you and we would then be sending traffic to reddit with the comparison)

  • Stop describing your game using other games
  • mac mac Now 63%

    The issue comes up when people youre talking to dont know what youre using as a comparison

    Article mentions that if they mention something then its fair to say how youre similar / differences but the person youre talking to has to initiate that. For people on reddit everyone on reddit knows what reddit is as they are using it so comparisons to it can be made on posts there

  • [crosspost] Reworked some enemy collision boxes, the dash, and added some squishing - (doomski@mstdn.games)
  • mac mac Now 100%

    I usually just ask users on mastodon in dms whether theyre fine with me posting it here and then make a completely new post if they say yes. For the actual video I download it from mastodon then usually shrink it to around half width and height and optimize it a bit so its within the lemmy file size limit

    For actual crossposts from mastodon only the original author can do that and by tagging the lemmy community

    Ok then that with the post you linked its more like shitstorm with Lemmy rather than about Sublinks like in your title

  • Lemmy Active Users looking good
  • mac mac Now 100%

    For old reddit style theres mlmym which fills that niche better (e.g. for you that would be at https://old.lemmy.world)

    Default UI is currently getting overhauled in a bunch of different ways. Lemmy-Leptos for Lemmy itself, and new UIs for Sublinks and Piefed as they get constructed

  • Managing enemy spawn large world
  • mac mac Now 100%

    I dont know how larger games do it but it mostly depends on what kinds of enemies and what genre of game youre doing.

    If you have a lot of enemies that will be spawned and despawned and they are mostly the same you can do an object pool where instead of destroying the object it gets hidden and added to the back of the pool for another enemy to spawn in as in the future by showing it and moving it to the correct spot

    In terms of when to spawn it usually (assuming youre doing most genres) you can just spawn it right outside the view of the player when they hit a trigger. In games I usually make enemies are spawned on a timer since it tends to be more arcade like and in that case you usually just spawn them outside the range of the player in a random location around a radius after X amount of time has passed

    Can give more specific things if I know the genre

    Also downvote is likely someone from the all feed

    All lemmy apps are sublinks apps, it has api compatibility

    The demo site also isn't an instance for accounts, its a demo

    API pretty much already has parity, should be done way quicker than that
