🚀 v2.2

You can now play EkoScape on the Web! It took a lot of hard work, but I’m glad to be able to finally provide a more convenient & secure way to play. Enjoy! 🤖

The downloads also include new changes, but shouldn’t really be that noticeable.

🗿 What Did It Take?

Everything. Here are some geeknotes.

• Renderer: I separated out the Renderer class into Renderer GL & GLES and then implemented the legacy code in OpenGL ES 3.0. It took more work than it sounds.
  • Added the glm dependency.
  • Created a GLEW stub/dummy.
• Engine: I made a new iteration of the Engine called Dantares2 that could accept a generic Renderer.
• Web Build: I poured over the Emscripten documentation to make the game compile & produce working Wasm, along with several iterations of the final HTML file.
• UTF-8: I couldn’t get tiny-utf8 to compile with Emscripten, so I had to drop that dependency and make code from scratch to handle UTF-8 strings/runes.
  • This should also make it more portable though to other systems.

🌺 Other Updates

• Music now starts at a random position every time you start the game.
• Changed fruit color in mini-map to be more obvious.
• In full-screen mode, when switching to the BOMA scene, shows the cursor now.
• Colorize Robots in “weird” mode.
• Made several minor fixes/refactors.
