This week I am working on background props and a framerate profiling chart for debugging. The background props will not have collision. The obj files are from @KenneyNL awesome new nature asset pack. Before you ask the final #wii game will have fewer #treesinspace

Last night I realised that watching the debug numbers is not effective for tiny changes. so this morning I worked on a real time bar chart that enables me to see/profile the framerate dips while I am playing the game. #takingittothelimit

mGBA is a Game Boy Advance emulator written in C. The project started in April 2013 with the goal of being fast enough to run on lower end hardware than other emulators support, without sacrificing accuracy or portability. Even in the initial version, games generally play without problems. It is loosely based on the previous GBA.js emulator, although very little of GBA.js can still be seen in mGBA.

Changes:

Bugfixes:
* GB Audio: Revert unsigned audio changes
* GB Video: Fix bad merge (fixes #1040)
* GBA Video: Fix OBJ blending regression (fixes #1037)

Not gonna get much work done today on my on rails shooter game but here is last week’s progress. #screenshotsaturday #wii #homebrew #starfox
The screenshots might start to look familiar because I have stabilized the #procedural #generation of the 100 stages in the game. Removing the randomness that you usually get from #procgen

So I finally got the subdivisions to line up after hardcoding a size that can fit into every cell without remainder. Looked like a repeated grid so I rotated every piece by 90 deg on the y axis.

Gonna try to put in minecraft clouds over the weekend. Just need to figure out the simplest way to copy the code over without adding a new system into the game engine. You know how it is when you just add one extra thing and it turns into 5k lines of code. Dont want that at all.

OpenBOR (Open Beats of Rage) is an open source engine to play Beats of Rage. Beats of Rage is a freeware open source video game and modifiable game engine made by Senile Team and inspired by Sega’s classic Streets of Rage series. The term “modifiable” means that the program allows users to create their own content, and thus their own beat-’em-up game, which is then called a “mod”.

Updated to version 1.097 replaced all my timer floats with u64. funny enough I had noticed that some of my timers were a bit flacky but I did not know that tick_to_millisecs(); returned a u64. I figured a float would be enough for all my use cases. #wii #libogc
