An almost beta!

• New camera system to track and interpolate movements
• More robust collision mechanics
• Crouching and sliding!
• Better jump mechanics

Scriptable Entities, Tiled Map Support, Better Positioning

• Add relative positioning for entities.
• New methods for adding an entity as child of another for relative position, velocity, and acceleration
• Add various methods for fetching entities
• Add method for cleaning up entities out of the world
• Add convenience methods to lookup entities by key
• Prototyping OpenGL4.5 renderer
• Add scriptable character support
• Abstracted away controller specific logic in character into verbs from the actions, like "jump" or "dash"
• Prototyped a sound system
• Add support for frame level sound effects
• Add some placeholder sounds for characters
• Add Discord RPC integration
• Support for loading JSON export Tiled maps
• Add rendering interface for easier renderable observables
• Add utility methods to the FileInfo class
• Add textures for maps
• Add new command "load_map"

Lua integration. Triggers. Scriptable entities. REPL.

This release adds some goodies.

• Normalizes all movement to metric. Configurations are in terms of km/h or m/s.
• Change coordinate system so up is + and down is -
• Add Lua integration via Sol2
• Renderer now operates on its own thread
• Add triggers (object walks into X do Y)
• Support for callable scripts for actors
• Add console with integrated REPL with Lua support

Updated jump and dash mechanics

• Engine now correctly advances frames based on delta between two successive frames
• Recoded jumping
• Added FPS output to console temporarily
• Add pause/unpause and frame stepping
• Make animation speed a function of input magnitude
• Add shutdown and window closing logic
• Initial Lua integration

Dash Mechanics

• Add support for dashing

Parallax split screen, basic networking, packet delta compression, and more!

This build has split raptr into two components: raptr-server and raptr-client. It is changing the game structure to an event based so I can efficiently do a networking model for master/clients.

• add support for split screen parallax
• introduce crossguid for GUIDs

Parallax background rendererer and project restructure

This release addressed some rendering issues and also added a FPS cap.

• Engine is now a static library
• New parallax background renderer (see game/background/nightsky.toml)
• Project restructuring
• Changed minimum process loop to 100us

Fluid split screen local multiplayer and friction

• Add local multiplayer split screen action
• Add some notion of friction and momentum conservation

New Movement Mechanics + Camera System

• Add camera that follows / tracks entities
• Add turn around boosted dashes
• Change default clock to microsecond resolution

Mechanics Testing #1

This is the first release I am giving out to people for playing with a controller. More of a test of the mechanics and physics.
