Remember: They are a language feature, and all features have a reason to exist, as long as you understand what you are doing. Try to limit use to constants that will be used all throughout the program.

I just accidentally made a local function.
It seems like I can just do the same thing I wanted to do with a global variable, except instead of making the local variable global, I'll just make the function local.

Game window is now dynamically resizable, and everything still works perfectly. Yay foresight!

Edit: By the way, I do kinda run on feedback 

[GlyphGryph]

you also release too often for me to keep up

I was away for show and tell. What are you doing?

You should consider making a thread for it in Creative Projects,

Lemme just finish the editor first

This. It's a game.

Well, managed to jump off and reach the bottom of the world, and trap myself with an elevator. Movement is pretty smooth, and that's important. Wall-jumping/sliding is a little bit iffy, though. Maybe pause for a bit when hitting a wall, before you start sliding?

Does anyone know of resources on ways to store terrain tile definitions (for a roguelike or something similar) in external data files, like DF does? I'm using C++, but I'm more interested in the general method of doing so; I could use examples in any language.

[Max White]

I have a need. A dire need. Does anybody have any good articles that relate to growing a blot. For example, in dwarf fortress the area that a civilization controls starts as a single point, but grows out as a blot. Another example might be Terraria, where ores are found in blot shaped groups. I need to be able to control the size that the blot can cover, as well as the total number of tiles in a blot.

Depends on the size and intended complexity, but it sounds like what you are looking for are fractals.

Although I plan to make several vital changes. That implementation has one or two flaws, but the idea is nice! All I need now is the ability to grow out regions.

Also, new version! Entity interactions! Also, enemies! Walking thingies that fall off platforms, and walking thingies that don't! If you walk into them, you die. If you land on them, you bounce! Also, the window is now resizable by changing the window size in the options menu and restarting.

Found it completely unplayable this time around. Extremely laggy. Even getting past the opening menu was a pain. And I had some difficulty getting it to even run /at all/, which is odd, since it worked find last time - I had to manually execute it via the command line within a java context.

Not sure entirely what's going on.

In which case, I suggest beginning by growing out from the towns in a simple circle. I assume you already have resources and such in the world nailed down. As the circles of influence (just use some fuzzy-logic stuffs for those) envelope valuable resources, begin expanding in a circle from those as well (also assuming said resources would be easily realized and/or exploited; for hidden resources which don't come into play early on, just ignore them until the population realizes their value). These valuable resources include both natural and man-made resources; count any roads with high or valuable traffic (roads connecting towns, roads connecting towns & resources, respectively) as resources in themselves, growing out from them as well. Vary rates of growth based on how valuable any given resources would be.

how do I store stuff in a .txt file with python?
I tried this:

Code: [Select]

        score_file = open('highscores.txt', 'w')
        score_file.write(username + score)
        score_file.close()
That didn't work. The file is still empty.

edit: Nevermind, I created an empty highscores.txt earlier in a folder, but as you can see I forgot to make it open said file in the folder. So there was a new highscores.txt created and saved, but not in the folder.
