I don't *think* the site has anything to worry about. I've never seen anything that could be considered harmful on here. But I suppose it depends on how strict Ofcom are being about the situation.

Genuinely no ide how scaling works in 3d, just guessing random numbers...

It seems that blitz3d sprites don't allow flipping or rolling, they are strictly 2d.
Looks like I have to learn a little real 3d...

Nah, that was trying to draw them instead of loading them. I have no idea how textures work.

First attempt to generate all of the card sprites resulted in some semi random artifacts, so I guess I'll be hand drawing every card, it'll probably look better that way anyway.

OK, I'll start by saying a couple of you may have played this game in the past, It's a basic tile flipping game, but a little different from what you might have played in the past.

Not sure where to put this, but, its using 3d sprites on a 2d background by copying the rendered 3d space to an image, then drawing it later.

File Transfer Speed

22nd March 2025

I used to stick everything in a zip file, not even worry about how much compression, cop the zip, then unzip it. It always felt quicker that way.
But year, lots of files is always slower to copy than single big files, especially over a network.

I'm sure, years ago I was trying to find an old Amiga game where you had to fit Tetris shapes into a grid but rotating and flipping them. I could have sworn I found it and posted it here somewhere, does that sound familiar to anyone?
