I guess everybody but me knew that DOOM and a lot of other games do barrels as actors. Looks like my big GDC 2024 talk is dead in the water now.

@grumpygamer Time to flip the idea on its head: What if enemies are actually barrels that do attack you?

@grumpygamer
Well, if it helps: I had no idea!

@grumpygamer sometimes to make progress you have to reinvent the wheel.

@grumpygamer Still not as weird as Fallout train hats.

@grumpygamer do you use entity-controller-system or is that a bit out of date? I am not in the business, I just thought it was cool.

@hk @grumpygamer or rephrase to kegs :)

@aeberbach Not sure what a "entity-controller-system" is, so I guess the answer is no.

@grumpygamer @aeberbach How close is your modern work to SCUMM, or even Infocom Z code?

@mlepage @aeberbach It's called DInky and I used it for Return to Monkey Island and Delores. I've posted several code snippets here.

@grumpygamer don't even ask how trains have been made 😄
