• Working ECS and First Model
  October 23, 2023 by oofoe

• Handling Entities
  October 22, 2023 by oofoe

  So, I've been learning about the idea of an Entity-Component-System. It seems like it might solve some outstanding problems for me, while giving me a bit of trouble until I master it... Such is life... Continue reading

  Another gam jam starts... I step onto the blood soaked sand of the arena. So, I've been participating in these for a little while now and maybe broke the top ten once. I would like to do better. The m... Continue reading
