Game Engines are for sissies!

Today I started with a few simple tasks to warm up. Some development tools shouldn't be built in the Steam build. So I wrapped those pieces of code with #ifndefs. They are Ctrl-Q to quit and Ctrl-F to show FPS.

After that it was back to the Chalk Archer. We did more animation work today and some state management. When you right-click after aiming the arrow is released and a short animation to lower the bow plays. I added an inventory of six arrows with an indicator. You can right-click spent arrows to put them back in your inventory and if you have no arrows in your inventory, the archer won't draw an arrow. The physics for the arrow flight was simple enough and detecting hits on the edge of the Chalkboard weren't too bad. With a bit of fiddling with a backoff on impact algorithm, the arrows don't penetrate outside the allowed area.

Lastly, we experimented to see if the Archer can shot himself. I tweaked it just a little bit and he can now hit himself with an arrow if he shoots up high, then walks forward into it. This could be a fun little easter egg with a bit of work, but that will happen tomorrow.
