I’m a bad bad slacker person, and didn’t keep my daily hour of code promise for two consecutive days. I did however read a bit on using Perlin Noise for prettier randomness, so that’ll be a thing when I have my pathfinding sorted.
Making randomness look pretty is hard, so I’ll put that on the shelf for now. Started looking at GameKit’s Graph pathfinding classes instead, which is probably more essential than getting sidetracked by making things look pretty. Defining the GridGraph at the IsoTileMap level will probably not work though, as different Actors will have their own unique capabilities to traverse the map. The Actor should probably generate their own GridGraph for their observable vicinity when they need it, and filter the graph with their traversal capabilities.
Camera smoothly centers on player position.
Refactored lots of tile related stuff, so the tile templates can hold more information than just a texture image name, e.g. the stepHeight for a tile, so we can have tiles that are not perfectly flat, but still be walkable and have actors positioned correctly.
Refactored movement from Player* to new superclass ActorSpriteNode.
