Wow, I’m amazed someone noticed this. I’d be interested to know more about your background and interests. How much have you been looking at programming language design vs just designing for complex systems in general? I ask because yes, I h

Okay, in that case you can upload a stub with a transclusion of the game. If there is enough demand I would definitely work on a standalone export system!

Yes, sounds like you get it, Giant Wall changed so it gets rolled back to point A, then it resimulates, which might mean Giant Wall might push some other things this time around that it didn't before during the predicted simulation. It

That is a cool idea! Could be a great application of rollback!

This physics engine is a deterministic physics engine. It has to be to make sure that when it rolls back and resimulates forward, it gets the same answer on all machines. The determinism is partly possible because WebAssembly is determinist

Actually, it doesn’t roll back the entire game state. Everything is stored in slot maps, and if there are 1000 slots and only 10 changed, it really does only rollback those 10 only and it does not touch anything else. Slot maps are great!

Ah yes, I have heard of this method but the idea of sorting/delta encoding is new to me and now I’m reconsidering! Maybe some people might find it interesting - I’m relaying packets from peer-to-peer using Cloudflare Realtime, which is

Yes thank you, you understand perfectly and thank you for explaining. Also, I LOVE your series of blog posts, thank you for making them! Just to add to the general discussion for everyone following along - rollback netcode only sends inputs

You can upload to itch.io yes: https://easel.games/docs/learn/publishing/export The export basically creates a page with an HTML IFRAME in it that embeds the hosted version of your game on easel.games so that

Hi everyone, I'm making a game engine that uses rollback netcode for its multiplayer architecture. As far as I can tell, no physics engine supports incremental rollback thus far. This means the entire physics engine state has to be sna

This might not work for everyone who reads this, but I put all my Obsidian files on my iCloud drive. Since they're just markdown, they sync up on all my (Apple) devices and I can see the notes on my Macbook, iPad and iPhone at any time

That is so fetch! In all honesty though, I quite enjoyed how this article was written. Is there a listing somewhere of articles written like this, with algorithms or concepts explained using analogies to pop culture?

by BSTRhino 6mo ago
Oh there is a listing, that's cool! Thank you!

Oh actually that does help actually, thank you :) I kind of think of this game as a comedy and was trying to fit that theme

Ah, actually that's a good point, yes I will add a marker or something. Thanks for playing!

Haha fair enough, I have had that music in my head for days since making this game Ah it's always interesting to see what other people come up with, thanks for sharing!

This is one reason why I built coroutines into my game programming language Easel ( https://easel.games ). I think they let you keep the flow of the code matching the flow of the your logic (top-to-bottom), rather than jumping aro
