>sprites are automatically drawn based on their position (no manually drawing here).

Probably should clarify that. Sprites are manually drawn by calling the sf::RenderWindow.draw() method. It's just that sprites automatically have a set position and you can only draw based on that.

@admin @ChristiJunior @KoopaTV His work on the original Phantasy Star was impressive. It's really sad given how most game programmers are now, relying on bloated engines for the most basic shit.

Got a camera to work. It's manual but if I plan to actually finish this game, I would probably have it scroll based on the player's position and movement. You can also see that there are tiles outside of the camera bounds. Those were left in by mistake.

SFML has a built in camera called sf::View. It's pretty weird. I'm used to having a 2D camera origin being at the top-left corner just like sprites, but the origin is actually in the center which is something I need to get used to.

I mean, it's kind of justified because it also has support for rotation and zooming (things I have never used). I'm just used to implementing my own camera system and just drawing sprites based off of their positions and the camera offsets, but that not an option here because sprites are automatically drawn based on their position (no manually drawing here).

@daphailwhale I didn't know that Sega CD emulation still hasn't been perfected.

@ArdainianRight @PraxisOfEvil A seastead doesn't have to be libertarian. It's meant for anyone to experiment with any ideology. It's only that right-libertarians are embracing it.

You can also colonize Bir Tawil (a region in Africa not claimed by any nation) and start a micronation there, but good luck trying to grow anything there.

@PhenomX6 I remember hearing that Putin has three years left to live due to some cancer. I don't know how true that is.

@PraxisOfEvil I would stay away from Ocean Builders, however because apparently, their "SeaPods" contains smart-home tech. Apparently it's all open source, so someone could check if the tech is spyware, but I rather not have that at all.

Arktide is making traditional floating homes, but they are still in the prototyping phase (they don't have full-scale models yet).

@PraxisOfEvil That's just one project. There are other seasteading projects but most of them are right-libertarian. If that bothers you, then you might have to start your own I guess. It seems like most of these projects are open-source so you can still use their designs.

@PraxisOfEvil Soon we will have a place to escape it all.

@dave Would not only because the pizza looks cold and old.

Now there are three levels, all of which are derivatives of each other.

@Elfie @rasterman @kumicota I can't even understand Nethack and I've heard that Dwarf Fortress is even more complex than that.
