Another small update to my LoveJS Player
It will now scale the canvas in cases where the screen is too small. So games you build with the tool will now display well on mobile.

I haven't had much time for pixel art this summer. Took a bit of time this evening to draw some houses. This one was my favourite.

For the lisp game jam this year I made a little tower defence game.
My twist was that the enemies would take the shortest path to N targets. Spoilers, people did NOT love this!
I've just pushed a patch that adds flow field visualisation

Going to call day 10 complete! I did some balancing over lunch. There is still a difficulty spike at level 7, nothing insurmountable.
If anyone runs into a game crashing bug I'll try and fix it before submissions lock at Midnight EST.

Put together a blog on my approach to handling persistence when hotloading fennel modules in love2d.
It has an accompanying love2d project to test out the approach for yourself, which includes an example watcher utility.

A few months ago I whipped together a little idle battler for the Lisp Game Jam in Love2D using fennel. I've finally got around to fixing the bugs and making the improvements recommended by the jam participants.
