Time to update the beautiful text on the terminal

In my previous post, I changed the core API to handle Ada’s Seperate Ways playthrough. Here we’ll be updating the CLI to handle the new API functionality. I want to add an option where the user can hit l or a to start either playthrough. Let’s make some changes

While I write this code…wait, where’s my while?!

Currently, I’m using a for loop to scan user input and use the API. The only way of getting out is by hitting q or ctrl+c. Now I’ll add another loop scanning for input on the start game conditions, wether it will be Ada or Leon. The funny thing I encountered here is that the switch automatically breaks but only out of the switch, it won’t get out of the for loop. I’m using a ready boolean to say when it’s ready to break free of the for loop. Why did Google not add while to Golang? Cause for is there!

Dusting off the RE4 pick-a-gun service

It’s been a while since I’ve touched the pick a gun service. It was a project that started when I was playing Re4 Remake for hours. I wanted to use a random weapon that would only be used for that chapter. It was a nice way to spice up the runs and not use pen and paper to keep track of my runs. Out of sheer laziness, the pick a gun service was born. Built with Go, FyneIO and a lotta love.

Adding some feedback mechanisms to the game

Clay bang has been getting pretty fun. I started managing states to pause the game to make it feel more like a game. Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while is changing the cursor to a crosshair and adding a muzzle sound while clicking.

I downloaded an open source muzzle sound and created my crosshair using my ipad. I wanted to make the muzzle modular so I’m loading it in a seperate file.

Bye Bye Black screen!

I’ve been shooting some clays on clay-bang and it’s starting to look a little lifeless. Just shooting clays on a black screen, all of them with dreams and they yearn to be flown on an open range. Well, let’s change that by adding a background image. I want to keep a pixelated look to the game so it had to be pixel art. There are different tools like piskel but I have an iPad just gathering dust since college. What if I used Procreate to make it?

Finally moving to Linux

After several years of gaming on Windows, I have finally made the move to using Linux, specifically Arch btw… Since I don’t have the TPM module 2014 motherboard, I had to decide wether to do linux or just buy a new computer. I’ve been using Ubuntu for several years and using it in WSL. I wanted to try out rolling releases and all the headaches that can come with it cause it creates opportunities for learning.
