Day 1

wezu on 2018/10/21 15:22 of Chart of Flowrock

To be honest 'flow' was my last pick for the theme. Initially my idea was to run some sort of heightmap fluid dynamics simulation on the GPU, but I don't think I can make that work and turn it into a game in one week.

Instead of taking 'flow' literally I'm going with 'flow-chart' as a way to interact with the game world, but I'm not building a text adventure but a random-generated dungeon crawler in a Legend of Grimrock/Eye of the Beholder style. Using Panda3D, nuff said.

As for what I did on day one - not much, all I have is a way to navigate a flow chart... or a animation of it anyway. Maybe I'll still manage to make some assets today.

The whole GPU simulation is totally my bag, though.

We'll see if I can pull it off in one week.

I hope You'll make something awesome, so I can use your code in the future :D

Just remember - it's kind of a tradition to run pyweek games on coal powered, potato class hardware, compute shaders may not run everywhere.

Cell-based first person dungeon crawls are one of my favorite genre's. Looking forward to seeing how the flow chart part integrates with that.
