What I’m making

• A personal website, but make it creative. Last time, I just finished the landing page, where you choose a sprite and a name! The general look I’m going for is kinda like the pixel pokemon games

What I added

• So I began by storing the user’s name and choice of character. Then I remembered that I needed to convert my animated gifs into spritesheets. I’ve never actually made this before, else I would have just done them as I was animating
• I made the UI, which is a isometric room and a topbar. Then came the fun part! Making the sprite move and not bump into the furniture. This was where I jinxed myself. My room was a flat image, and individually plotting areas where the sprite couldn’t move was….hard to say the least.
• I created a temporary debug code using where I could adjust the points, view the coordinates in my console and copy it into my code. It worked, but only to an extent. I was three seconds away from exiling myself to yt to learn blender to make a 3d model instead.
• Idk how, but in some stroke of inspiration, I decided instead of marking places that weren’t walkable, I’d mark the places that actually were.
• Things got a lot simpler from there. I drew over the walkable areas and inserted it. I kept it transparent so the code could see it but you can’t. IT WORKED, by some grace. It isn’t perfect, but soo much better.
  Cheers!
