Tinker Tuesday for August 4th, 2026

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service.

Finished my vertical UI slice for the time being. It's crude and incomplete, but it works, and anything else I need to add, I will be able to add with relatively little effort.

Right now I'm mostly refactoring; restructuring code, breaking apart my overly large "space" handler class (actually for physical entities, backgrounds, the sky, the atmosphere, gravity and the sun) to modularize it, intending to re-use some parts of them and to replace others. Once that is done, I will either put together a playable level manually or orchestrate some simple procedural generation and population of terrain with actors. And after that, I suppose, will come gameplay.

Slow progress right now; have caught a summer flu and will soon be going on a vacation.
