Get a kitchen scale to level up your cooking ability. It makes everything way easier

I have achieved artificial general intelligence in my game, but my AI just keeps killing itself over and over again. Any advice?

If you will: Consult the Chart™️

Which tier would you pick?

Oh yeah, I still know how to cook. New tutorial video on autopilot systems coming eventually.

This landing was done entirely by the autopilot. It's also capable of takeoff and navigation, but landing is the most complex mode.

The whole thing is driven by like 10 PID controllers.

A screenshot of Supermaneuver, a game which has absolutely nailed the vibes of PSX era aerial combat games in...well, every way I can think of, really.

A screenshot of At Sky’s Edge, a very promising work-in-progress title that’s slowly building out into a bigger, fancier world full of things to fire missiles at and, hopefully, not get blown up by.

A screenshot of the latest indie flight game to have “Project” in the name: Project Red Sun. The demo’s not too far away from releasing on Steam, after which we might finally learn what the phrase “orbital debris field” means.

A screenshot of Cloudbreaker, a Smokin’ Sexy Stylish over-the-top roguelite with an arsenal of absurd weaponry and also explosions. Lots of explosions.

Git sucks but it's basically the best version control tool out there

This fall, Project Red Sun takes its first public test flight as a new combat flight action game on PC; Wishlist us on Steam, and follow us on our social media accounts to keep updated on development, demos, cool frogs we find, and info about our game!

If you stuck the landing, that would have looked really cool.

Are you actually flying while the camera is in this perspective?

“Aircraft Control and Simulation” by Brian L. Stevens, Frank L. Lewis, and Eric N. Johnson

Fortran source code

The book is “Aircraft Control and Simulation” by Brian L. Stevens, Frank L. Lewis, and Eric N. Johnson

I found a textbook that has the source code for a flight simulator included. The only problem: it's written in Fortran. Check out my article on the process of translating it into C# using Unity3D

How does this compare with Harfbuzz? Like does it solve the same set of problems?

it causes me distress that video games are so interesting. i wish i could go back to not really knowing or caring how they're made
