Gonna bounce around some of the games that got me started on Twitch, as a wee homage to humbler beginnings. Stream starts ~7pm EST, friends are welcome.

It was Cardhog. Thanks! :)

"ChatGPT, invent a sob story as excuse to refund a game called CardHog that I played for 12hrs already"

I loved #Pyrene and enjoyed Lost for Swords so thankfully I found another game in that genre of cards being the dungeon and you have to drag them around to explore get weapons and resources etc called #CardHog it's on sale right now for two bucks and initial impression it's awesome. Great art!

Today, I began creating a front end for the CardHog game in Godot. While my enthusiasm is waning a bit, there aren't any other projects at a stage where I can add functionality within a few days.

Was working on finishing the refactoring on my CardHog clone when I noticed one of my projects hadn't been updated to use my QOL crate; that made me notice my fraction crate wasn't passing its unit tests, I hadn't finished implying Display, so completed that.

Been working on how to not repeat the problem we ran into on our first game. on the coding front, I finished adding Hedge tile type to my CardHog clone.

Hit the wall with math I don't know enough to even know what questions to ask, so after 2 days of being stuck I decided to work on the Godot interface of the CardHog clone, though it's no longer a CardHog clone as I've started to implement the changes to make it my own game.

Enhanced the rendering of the board for the CardHog clone. Then I looked up reading a char from stdin and adjusted the Match3 game to use it. Discovered I couldn't move to the edge; the Pos and Board structs had different sizes so now they must agree for a successful compilation.

Finished my second attempt at replicating how CardHog shifts cards when you move. Progress feels good, but I wish I could've achieved more. Still facing the challenge of getting enough sleep.

Trying to replicate CardHog's card-following mechanic in my project, but my initial attempt might lead to an infinite loop—something CardHog doesn't do. Still figuring out how they achieve it.

CardHog certainly feels like an easy game, I suspect it's because dying doesn't significantly interrupt the flow. It's very minimalist but that seems to be because that trimmed off all the fat that can keep from being lost in the moment and all that's left is the juiciest bits.

Got absorbed playing CardHog. First time experiencing the full game after trying the demo/prototype on Itch. I was concerned it might be too easy since enemies only deal damage if you fail to defeat them but I haven't progressed beyond 4 levels yet.

After the past few days, my research hasn't been as productive as I hoped, so nothing to code. Although I still need to finalize details for my card crawler, I'm working on a direct clone of CardHog also Match3 game since the boards used in both games share similar functionality.

But that's not all the work he did on the CardHog clone:
-added Hedge type to CardHog clone
-reworked the CardHog game preparing to integrate it with the other sub-games
-implemented a CLI interface to the CardHog clone
-implemented a message bus to connect the subgames together

Alta did a lot of work in the past 4 weeks starting with the CardHog clone:
-added unit testing to the CardHog clone
-made a GUI for the CardHog clone with Godot
-turned the CardHog clone into it's own game
-split out the Godot binding of the CardHog clone from the game logic

Alta's amassed achievements for the past 4 weeks
-impl a Board struct for my Match3 and CardCrawler
-impl the moves for the Match3 game on the Board struct
-impl my first idea on how to reproduce the cards following you in CardHog
-impl a second attempt to reproduce it.
