devember 26th — rearchitecturing

Saturday, 2015-12-26 in devlog about #gamedev, #devember, #devember2015, #hourofcode, #objc, #spritekit, #isometric

Everything ripped apart and moved around towards the new architecture. Still more work to be done before anything works again, but hopefully it will be worth it.

devember 22nd — eightway movement

Tuesday, 2015-12-22 in devlog about #gamedev, #devember, #devember2015, #hourofcode, #objc, #spritekit, #isometric

Movement has been extended from four to eight directions. Everything feels much smoother that way. WASD is still bound to N-W-S-E. Maybe rotate WASD to NW-SW-SE-NE and extend with QEZX for W-N-S-E?
