Man, the hype train really has no breaks..

I regret nothing.

Update: added a few more shots from today to the gallery. Added a refinement function for increasing mesh vertex density and then realized operating only on a subset of the refined faces could prove interesting





Fun times

Super-shiny, Josh! Really like that last one. Can't pin down exactly what it reminds me of. Some kind of megaweapon? Not sure.

SPACE MINES!

That second new pic makes me think of the bow spike on Warhammer 40k Imperial ships. Maybe that's what it reminds you of Talvieno?

Perhaps. I may also be thinking of Mass Relays.

Yes, yes that will do nicely. Gyros around balls of light, it doesn't serve a purpose, but I still want it

By the way folks, video review is up: https://youtu.be/anW6sYpw6PY

Thanks for the extra shots, Josh.

And thanks for the latest video, Distant.

Good stuff!

Distant, Im starting to look forward to your videos almost as much as the devlogs themselves

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed listening to it.

Hi Josh!

If I understand it correctly, every coroutine has a separate stack, and every piece of game logic will be a coroutine.
Is this an issue? If the size of the stacks is large it would limit the number of coroutines, but if it is small the bigger coroutines may overflow...
For instance, with small 1KB stacks, and 1GB of RAM dedicated to them, you get about 1 million. If every ship needs several coroutines, this could be a limit.
I had this issue on a project of mine (not in Lua), and started to look into growable stacks before giving up, so I'm interested in your take on it

PS: I really enjoy the technical part of the dev logs!

BFett, Victor, Hyperion (and everyone else), you're very welcome! I'm glad they're being enjoyed.

Welcome to the LT forums, bdav!

Thanks Victor!
I have been following the logs for a long time, and finally decided to make a account since I had something to say

Gameplay Logic with Coroutines and Automatic Scheduling

The first thing in my mind was LT-RTOS.
