There's two parts of this. There's the logic I run when you're not bailed, and then the logic I run when it's bailed. Running both sides is important, because you get into situations where by the time you're bailed, you're stuc...

Falling Down
One of the oddest problems in a skateboarding game is safely transitioning from being a skateboard, to being a body rolling around on the ground. ...

Figured it had been a while since I showed these, so to catch up, here's a bunch of the recent poll-winners, in their in-game forms! You have picked well, so now, BEHOLD.

Sorry! I thought this already went out, seems it didn't. So we'll do 2 polls this month. First up, the poor green parrots keep getting skipped over, so this month, it's ALL green parrots :D They're all good birbs.
Quaker Parrot, so poofy

This isn't aspirational code. It's more like an unavoidable car crash, where the expert driver steers into the inevitable hit to control and minimize any injuries.

Anywho, like I said in the comments of the last one, I used the top 2 instead of running two polls, since they were pretty clear winners. Accordingly, behold 2020-07-20 21:49:21 +0000 UTC View Post
You know how things in Unity (and UE4 - it's a PhysX bug) tend to bounce when rolling over seams? How if you roll a ball down a slope made up of multiple boxes sitting perfectly end to end, the ball often still jiggles or outright bounces when going over the seams? Ever noticed how it gets even w...

That is, the "<press A to> Ollie!" kind of prompts, that show the right button whether you've rebound the input, or are using a keyboard instead of a gamepad, or etc. They're adaptive.
