Been stuck for ages on something.
Been using Bitwise stuff to handle collisions with map tiles. Worked well for basic tiles, 1 through 15, no hassle. But when I started to expand past that, then I ran into issues.
I was hoping to have tile data all in one variable, stuff that doesn't specific instances at least, and thought I could just handle tiles past 15 as just IDs rather than Bitwise colliders.
But then that was triggering collisions unnecessarily, then I was trying to figure out how to handle 1 way tiles, since the map editor treats them as regular tiles. I thought a bit flag could take care of that, but oh no that also messes with collision.
Then I saw something on a game engine forum. And, that taught me that I could just, make collision bits less significant. Or, more, whichever.
And then I realized.
Oh wait. Isn't that kind of what smilebasic does with bgtile ids and rotation data.
And yeah, that was quite a revelation.
Also hi, I'm still around. Hope everyone's doing well.
