Simple way to explode blocks

This is an easy way to create an illusion of blocks exploding using a slices of structs that contain fade, color, rectangles and movement direction. Pressing SPACE key will create a slice of smaller blocks with random directions that fade away. Once the timer ends then it will reset and create more blocks. View on Github

Moving polygon triangles

This demonstrates the use of rl.DrawPoly for creating a line of moving triangles, direction can be changed using the W A S D keys. This represents a much easier approach for drawing triangles that change direction than using rl.DrawTriangle and should be considered as the method of choice in some cases. View on Github

Starfield is Space Exploration Summarised

unklnik published on 2023-10-12 included in category Games

Starfield - A very concise version of space

2024/11/04 - Whilst this review is, for the most part, still pretty accurate, I replayed Starfield recently following a few updates. The addition of FSR means that the graphics can now be maxxed out more easily and the vehicle for travelling on planets makes exploring much more fun. Starfield remains a good game, however not the great game that I was expecting. Definitely worth playing, even more so being basically free on Xbox Game Pass, with many hours of gameplay, though it could have been a lot better.
