Had an idea for a feature in the camera in #BeckettEngine (which technically isn't part of the engine itself (yet?)) and tested it on the train scene I made for #ProjectSpecialK.
Then I turned around for this picture. Hi @quest64official.bsky.social!

Plaintext descriptions, .png, .ogg. Packed in folders or zips, loaded in turn, sorted by priority dependency and name as specified in a metadata file. Later files can replace earlier, some can be patched. Base game data is a mod too.
Do you have a better system to suggest?

I should not be getting all these little ideas for #BeckettEngine before the bigger, more important features are in. And yet.

Should I consider using AI in my programming projects like #BeckettEngine and #ProjectSpecialK and/or allow pull requests made by/with AI?
I'd make this a poll but I'd like to see the reasoning behind the answers.

Euggh. Caught myself thinking about different ways to handle interaction triggers in #BeckettEngine again. Kawa you fucking dumbass, you can't even interact with anything yet! Not in 3D *or* in 2D.

Just updated the copy of the #BeckettEngine code in #ProjectSpecialK to the latest, which brings a somewhat reworked scripting paradigm.
After a lot of rejiggering, it compiles... but I'm too afraid to try and run it.

Okay so #BeckettEngine right now has an std::vector of game objects (that in turn have child objects in a vector, like a tree). To delete one it's flagged, to add one you use a separate "add these" vector because both actions invalidate iterators.
How can this be improved?

Six months later, no takers. No ideas given on how to do DLL replacement attacks in #BeckettEngine.
I'd like to see this as an absolute win.

Back in October last year, I switched #BeckettEngine from FMOD to SoLoud for audio, mostly to reduce the amount of DLLs involved. The only ones used ought to be the ones that come with the OS.
At the time I figured it'd be a nice way to avoid DLL replacement attacks.

I was afraid the documentation for #BeckettEngine would be lacking. Because of my low self-esteem, y'see?
So I compared it to Hazel and Wicked and I felt much better.

This is what you get when you implement vertex pulling for sprite quads, use a sprite to render a sky behind the world, and accidentally remove the "gl_Position.z = gl_Position.w" line.

Considering removing the dependency on Sol and Lua from #BeckettEngine and instead have the game itself provide functions to do conditional text and user-defined tags. Which may be done via Sol in turn. Make it script-agnostic on the engine's side.

#BeckettEngine has no scene editor, only compiles on VS 2015, and is missing several important 3D features.
I feel there's no reason for others to use it, so I've barely the motivation to add those features, and nobody else is likely to.
Realizations suck ass.

The only other person with any stated interest in using #BeckettEngine seems to be @letrune.bsky.social. I wrote a framework for Myst-style gameplay and send her binaries so all she needs is scripts and images.
Ain't nobody else interested, and nobody else helping out. Feels bad, man.
