One player tells the server they want to place a component, the server verifies that this modification is allowed, the server sends information about the modification to all connected clients, and they all handle the update appropriately - that kind of thing. This week I’ve finally finished my big refactor of how Logic World stores and modifies its internal world state! This is all the code to do with storing components and wires, and how updates to components and wires are handled. Logic World General building overhaul progress Unfortunately I’ve got nothing to show this week. If you’re anything like me, you’ll spend a lot of time carefully curating your color lists, and I don’t want you to lose all that work accidentally! After reinvigorating myself with the color picker work, I’ve returned to working on the new building mechanics & features. Finally, I added a little popup confirmation dialog when resetting a list of saved colors. I’m pretty sure I like this new pointer style better, but I’ll probably add an option to switch between the two based on preference. I also changed the style of the pointers, from the old white & black targets to simple circles which display the selected color or hue. Which adds a nice visual indicator of the button’s function. First I made the “save this color” button change color to reflect the color that’s going to be saved. Let me know if you like it and would like to see more development videos like this I added the new Circle Picker style shown in the video, and I also made a few more tweaks. It’s heavily edited, and instead of just showing off game features, it tells a story of the features’ development. As you may know if you’ve been following Logic World for a while, I absolutely adore the color picker UI, so I began my work week with some fun color picker stuff I tried something a little different with this video. Color Picker grows Ever Strongerīack into Logic World work I wanted to start with something fun. They’ve got games like Count Fingers where kids just need to count how many fingers are shown on the screen and they’ve got games like Math Boy where you can choose a mathematical operator to practice and each correct answer helps the child’s character defeat a monster. Throughout Early Access, and beyond the 1.0 release, we’ll be constantly updating the game with new features and expanded gameplay. A growing platform The core of Logic World is there, and it’s quite awesome, but we are brimming with ideas to make it even better. The game comes with standalone self-hostable server software so you can build, invent, and learn with your friends.
