So cool to see, you're holding on to this. I really can learn a lot from you. I have a folder with lots of projects that I started but never finished. When the hard part is coded, I tend to lose interest. Keep it up!
#82
I have added tree leafes reacting to player collision, I rotated them based on the proximity to the players / enemies, multiplied with the angle to the player, looks really nice.

I have completly rewritten the collision engine, now it is even smoother than before for diagonals, even with high frameskip values.

Now it is time to implement the player editor ( for assigning animation frames to different actions ) and a player action editor ( basically making combat moves editable ). Then I will add some fire calculations / effects, because I need burning lawn / trees for the story ). After this I can finally implement the new story / gameplay ( I made some maps for this allready ).

#83
Nevermind, I found a good tutorial on hawk threads, I will give it a try sometime

That was just a short side project, all calculations done on single thread and still almost 60fps (of course map is small) but it's unachievable for let's say many popular game making solutions :) Generally standard  A* is good for turn based games, RPG, or when you have few units, as when you introduce proper collisions/tile occupy state there are a lot of problems that you need to take care on. And popular solution is to use regions/portals/waypoints pathfinding globally and fast A* locally when traveling between portals, or when previously calculated path is blocked - so the unit need to find some other way or wait path to clear and so on. And it would be best to do this on separate thread so this also have some requirements - local map data for pathfinding thread... And all that is a 'little' more work that such small project. Hopefully I will revisit pathfinding in this year to tune JPS/regions for proper game.

I know what you mean, and on one hand it's good idea as you can focus on coding and other stuff but on other you still need to prepare those sprites to be usable with your code, and later you need to reedit all objects that use such graphic again. But it all depends from the developer and their approach for handling assets.

Is there some example how to use the threads?
I was last using threads with posix threads back in 2017.
What I want to achieve is loading data in a seperate thread and continue refreshing the screen in the main thread. Of course I wont access the ressources that are loaded from the main thread while it is loading.
So basically I saw how to create a thread, but how to delegate work to the thread, send an interupt from the side thread to the main thread etc.?

Try to run the code in parallel, when you have 10000 units. Search for "hawkthreads". It's built into GLBasic, and there's a wrapper for the API.
