Ramblings about hobbyist game development
add an ObjectType class that makes object creation more abstract
This adds the concept of ObjectTypes. This means when adding (“creating”) a new object, one simply has to pass the type id, as well as instance specific data such as position and angle.
Furthermore, this adds quite a bit of temporary code that loads these object types. This is hardcoded for now and will be replaced by JSON object definition files later.
fix typo
Typing is hard.
implement selection rotation
Now we also allow to let the current object selection be rotated in shop mode by middle-clicking.
when determining whether a position is valid also take existing objects and walls into consideration
So far the only consideration was if the object is outside of the world boundaries. Now we also check for objects (and their dimensions) as well walls to determine an object can or cannot be placed.
improve the tile state hash function
In hindsight it is unfortunately a little hard to figure out how that is actually better. It certainly looks better!
– better (not perfect) hashing technique for selection indicator states
– rudimentary static object movment
– implement the first criteria of object placement (within the world coordintes), show a visual indication if it fails
(sic)
Coming back to more feature oriented work, we finally bring the pieces together and the passive selection is now used to move objects in shop mode.
The only constraint for placing an object for now is however the actual size of the logical world, so you can happily move objects on top of other objects or through walls.
Be that as it may, check out what it looks like!
move more types to the types namespace
Slightly bigger than the last one, but no functional changes.
move the vertex struct to the types
Just a small refactoring.
Rename the way too generic sounding Position class to NavNode
That sounds like a good idea!
Big refactoring: replace (hopefully all) arbitrary direct usage of glm vectors, raw values and std::tuples wherever sensible
While internally still using glm data structures, they are no longer being used directly, but rather as wrappers for other types to increase type safety.
