Lots of #css changes, as well as setting up my own `@font-family` for the first time.

But I obviously managed to squeeze in a bit of #gamedev. I'm away to London from tomorrow for the week. Will there be a dev log whilst I'm away from home?

This uses Bresenham's line algorithm to decide what's visible to the player. I was hoping to finish off Shops this evening, but that code is unchecked-in on my other laptop...https://video.d20.social/static/streaming-playlists/hls/40f8531f-4810-47a4-8093-232bda60bedb/4bd6ba17-7a21-4f5c-abbc-fecd7aee0fe3-master.m3u8https://video.d20.social/videos/embed/92jBDt5R3A85mYBWbcNXBi46022025-06-17T21:51:14.406ZGameDevYEShaikushaneNOhttps://video.d20.social/w/dYwqzGh2vYpwzJ7DCeit5Dhttps://video.d20.social/lazy-static/thumbnails/d9270b09-baf8-430b-a64a-597d3958010b.jpgDependabotNo screen of green tonight for tonight's #gamedev log, but maybe another familiar sight: lets merge some dependabot PRs before going to bed. I think that extends the streak another day! Back home tomorrow. So, hopefully some kind of useful feature added to the game!https://video.d20.social/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6912107b-1c18-45c6-b59b-2ea7e32eaf11/59f2a88f-2d4e-4abd-b9c7-d7fa013cbf18-master.m3u8https://video.d20.social/videos/embed/dYwqzGh2vYpwzJ7DCeit5D28022025-06-17T21:52:21.951ZGameDevYEShaikushaneNOhttps://video.d20.social/w/cLx1jZ9GbqwsAxbEwsJiTrhttps://video.d20.social/lazy-static/thumbnails/f6785157-6e01-46d3-b1f5-577a45c1b246.jpgFog of WarWe've got line of sight and fog of war working now! To keep track of the "remembered" dungeon layout, I'm chucking those arrays of coords into #redis, set to expire after a week (which might be too long). I figured that since the dungeons will be so ephemeral holding onto them for any longer than that is a waste. Pleased with this #gamedev log because it really does start to make it feel like a game.https://video.d20.social/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5f4c5bea-7c2d-49ba-beb2-5fe4662ff37b/db3a1238-c646-41ab-a0bc-942b9e51b9d9-master.m3u8https://video.d20.social/videos/embed/cLx1jZ9GbqwsAxbEwsJiTr93012025-06-17T21:54:10.590ZRedisGameDevYEShaikushaneNOhttps://video.d20.social/w/tgLDQ6DwoeGj6TPoqNohN6https://video.d20.social/lazy-static/thumbnails/754b0eca-313d-4736-a0e0-53fa729bc915.jpgPlacing DoorsThe loop of going into a dungeon, finding enough loot to sell, and then going to buy something really feels nice! Exploring and hoping to find something you're after is more fun than I was expected at this stage. Today's #gamedev log shows off a new core feature: players can change the dungeons too. These two features have left behind a trail of bugs though... Definitely some debt to clean up. #rails is holding up really well too. It's getting a little slower with each new feature though.https://video.d20.social/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dcda6b14-9e87-4188-9205-f4c1d3cde001/10b20db7-4612-4a50-8f3e-83bcc146604a-master.m3u8https://video.d20.social/videos/embed/tgLDQ6DwoeGj6TPoqNohN660012025-06-17T21:55:13.830ZGameDevRailsYEShaikushaneNOhttps://video.d20.social/w/d8QewNf8gnpqMdRPPmDwcuhttps://video.d20.social/lazy-static/thumbnails/76226d97-555f-428f-bb9f-ae73cc3611e0.jpgMoving ItemsShifting rocks around in tonight's #gamedev log. Slowly growing concern about the latency of each action and move now - not that you can see it in today's video.

I've also been reading a bit about #jruby - maybe I'd get some speed boost from that, but I should focus on the core issues at the moment, I feel. But, I would love to make use of concurrent threads. They'd be very useful for this game. I hear this is coming to MRI, but probably not soon?
