Quiver .Plan 4

I didn't accomplish as much programming work within the Godot game this week which is unfortunate but C'est la vie. Below is this weeks .plan file, and a gif of an effect I accomplished. I am also going to begin putting some time into learning the C programming language beyond a beginner's level. This is mainly because it is an extremely portable language, an extremely terse language and it has direct utility for me on a Linux System for directly modifying my system and writing utilities. It also give me a good basis for learning C++ which the backend of Godot uses and may help me in the Industry if I choose to go that way.

Amount of work I got done on the game was low this week because I spent some of the week doing some trite stuff. 
* Modified UI to show HP and AMMO for current gun at bottom
* Modified inventory to only allow 1 of each weapon. Extra weapons just picks up the ammo
* Completely removed the throwing feature. It added nothing to the game
* Made acquired weapons light up in inventory
* Made Title Screen flame effect inspired by DOOM PSX
* Completely removed the dropping feature. It added nothing to the game
* Completely removed the moving of items in the inventory. Instead we now have weapons in specific slots
+ Adjusted Line of sight offset to be much better and to not have gaps
+ Teleporter render layer is now correct
+ Lore terminal without existing file won't crash
+ Lore terminal checks if file exists before trying it
Singleplayer Death Statistics

OpenAI employees… are you okay?

You might have seen an article making the rounds this week, about a young man who ended his life after ChatGPT encouraged him to do so. The chat logs are really upsetting. Someone two degrees removed from me took their life a few weeks ago. A close friend rel…
