Axes-Armour-Ale VS easings.net

It's not a great illustration, but the result looks like this https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale/blob/master/GITscreenshots/Linux_dungeon.png

I added another location to the map on Axes, Armour & Ale https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale So next I'll be looking to add overworld encounters and a village / town location.

This coming week I plan on procrastinating a little more with different dungeon styles. My game has several different environments so far, with more planned. So I get to play around with cellular automata, BSP and other techniques. https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

Released an alpha version of Axes, Armour & Ale

There's a screenshot of how it looks in my game (using thinner walls) at https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

All code, previous releases, and a growing collection of bugs are kept at https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

This week has been a week of refactoring... not intentionally though. I'd planned to start adding multiple dungeons all over the overworld map. But every time I started to add this, I found a previously undiscovered bug in some part of my code. My save file was duplicating saved data in several places, and not reading it back correctly when reloading the game. So I've streamlined the save/load process and, touch wood (taps head), think that I'd squashed all the bugs now. https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

Easings: When working with animations and transitions, Easings provides a comprehensive cheat sheet for various easing functions, allowing developers to visualize and choose the perfect timing curve for their projects.

Something like this: https://easings.net/#easeOutExpo

Very timely and helpful, thank you!

A suggestion: the pulse animation would look much better with ease-in / ease-out animation curves instead of the harsh linear curve it's currently using. EaseInOutSine from this cheat sheet would do fine: https://easings.net/

One I like to reference is this easing functions cheatsheet. Its aimed at programming animations, but a lot of the principles apply to your needs.

I feel like BB should definitely have easings (specifically the ones on easings.net) for keyframes. Any thoughts?

> I wasn’t sure what type of math function would work for this

Usually people use "easing functions", which are convenient since they typically have a range and image both in [0.0 .. 1.0] [1] (although sometimes the range is slightly above 1 or below 0 to produce some "effect"). CSS has a cubic-bezier function [2] that can be used to replicate pretty closely all sorts of easing functions.

Functions that look like an "S" when plotted are called "sigmoids", a popular one used in graphics applications is called "Smoothstep" [3].
