Figured it out! Trees now remove themselves if they spawn into an area they shouldn't, like roads and buildings I still have a shaky understanding of how signals work, but I'm sure it will make more sense as I use them more #Godot

Having fun with #Godot Game Engine Figured out how to instantiate trees based on an array of PackedScenes with random placement, and placed some basic building instances in the starting town map Now trying to figure out how to make the trees spawn only in areas that are not road or buildings

Sector 12 Setup a spreadsheet to take care of the Star System generation so I can quickly get into a game to playtest, but I do enjoy rolling them up manually and doing this with pencil and paper It will also serve as a makeshift "board" as I change mechanics

Top Left is a 12x12 Sector map which lays out star systems' positions in the sector

Top Right is a 12x12 grid which shows the star systems' contents, from closest distance (I) on the left, to the furthest (XII) on the right

Section below is a list of ships in the fleet. Currently there is only the UGAC Invincible, with X,Y coordinates of 12,2, 30 power, Captain specialized in OPS, Commander specialized in MED, with ENS ENG & OPS, LT JG MED & SEC, LT TAC & LT CMDR SCI

The next section is the dashboard for the UGAC Invincible
It has 0 Prestige, 5000 Energy, 430 Crew, 70 Security and 20 Torpedoes

The MedBay shows all bridge officers are in good health

All systems are operational, batteries are fully charged

Re-watching Star Wars: A New Hope I think the only reason why Ben says what he says is he knows the Force will intervene, not really giving Luke a choice to remain neutral The Force doesn't exist in our universe to chart the course of our lives Every act of resistance helps, no matter how small

Luke Skywalker saying "I can't get involved. I've got work to do."

Shot of Ben Kenobi listening while Luke continues, "It's not that I like the Empire. I hate it."

Shot goes back to Luke who says, " But there's nothing I can do about it right now."

shot goes back to Ben who says "You must do what you feel is right, of course."

Just messing around with card layouts and unit trait ideas The art is placeholder just to see how things might look. It's from a game called Humankind, which I have never played I suck at design lol

Nine units laid out on letter sized paper in US poker sized cards, with Spearmen, Pikemen, and The Companions on the top row; Phalanx, Halberdiers, and Axemen on the middle row; Swordsmen, Great Axemen, and Great Swordsmen on the bottom row

Wei Lo @weilo.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Here's the new unit card layout, made to fit on Euro Mini sized cards (2.64"x1.73") It should be able to contain all game mechanic elements needed for each unit, and be small enough to print 18 cards on a page when using A4 or Letter sized paper. Now to transfer the work I did to this layout...

Upper left has two icons. The first is the faction icon, in this case the example shows a tri-horned helm. The second is the alignment icon, which shows a balance scale.

The upper middle area has text with a rounded border. The text says "Unit Name"

The upper right has two icons. The leftmost is the armor this unit uses, which shows an open faced helm, which represents light armor. The second icon is the type of unit, which is a pitchfork, representing conscripts.

The next row has two blank boxes, which are containers for units they are strong and weak against. It is currently empty, but the plan is to fill them with the icons of the corresponding unit types.

The row after this extends across the whole card and is blank box. It will be used to list the actions this unit has available to it when activated

Finally, the third row has 9 boxes, in different colors, some with icons in them. This row represents the experience of the unit.

The leftmost box has what looks like a white shield that is empty, and has a light green background for the box. This represents Green units.

The 2nd leftmost box has another white shield, but with a black chevron at the bottom. This represents Regular units. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th boxes have a light yellow background color.

The middle box has a white shield with two chevrons at the bottom, which represents Veteran units. The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th boxes have a light orange background.

The last box contains a shield with 2 chevrons at the bottom and a star above the chevrons. This represents an Elite unit. This box has a light red background.

Screenshot of overview for section 1 of the US Constitution on the congressional annotated Constitution.

It says:
"Section 9 denies certain powers to Congress, including by restricting the slave trade; generally denying the ability to suspend the writ of habeas corpus; prohibiting bills of attainder and ex post facto laws; restricting direct taxes, export taxes, and appropriations; prohibiting ports preferences; and prohibiting titles of nobility and foreign emouluments. Section 10 denies certain powers to the states, including by preventing states from entering into treaties, issuing bills of credit or coining money; prohibiting bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, or laws impairing the obligations of contracts; and by restricting states' ability to impose duties on imports or exports. Section 10 also provides that states may not take certain actions without Congress's consent, including laying duties of tonnage, keeping troops or engaging in war, or entering into compacts with other states or foreign powers.

Slowly building out my regional map, and the 6 mile map sub-hexes for it I have it set up where if you click on the label, or where the label should be for a hex, it will take you to the note for the 6-mile subhex, or create the note if it doesn't already exist My regional note has some...

In the note there is a hex map and part of a random table beneath it
