Work Post

8:26pm - Well here we go again, New Year, more work. My next plan was to make up a TileType component and an extendable enum-with-data to determine the properties for each TileType.

10:23pm - Well that was a productive two hours. I managed to make the TileType and the enum-like TileTypeData and an editor script for TileType to update the tile with a click of a button when the TileType changes.

Now I'm getting busy with something else so I've decided to put this down for now. We'll see if I do some more work later.

I'm glad you not only solved the hit detection issue with the tiles but devised a way use programming language to tell the engine to make updating the tiles instantaneous, instead of having to manually edit individual sprites. You seem to have a natural talent for this sort of thing even if it's taking time. :)

Thanks! Yeah it should be a lot easier to make maps now, either randomly generated or by hand.

Good luck with getting the random map generator going, come to think of it! You seem to be on a good path, I guess it's mainly a matter of figuring out how to activate shortcuts within the engine so the work doesn't take as long.
