So I am making a video game.....

It's "else if" in Basic too, unless you're trying to be fancy and use "case" syntax. I always assumed Python was trying to emulate Basic, so it's odd to me too that it uses its own thing.

While Python was intended to be easy to read, it wasn't really trying to be a basic-like language. I'm not sure why Python abbreviated else if into elif, but it's probably why Ada does something similar using elsif. Both of them were pretty heavily influenced by the archaic Setl language, though. From what I can find, Setl doesn't actually have an else if analog, though.

So Unity can be used by the industry again?

On my end, the client is pushing to have the puzzle game finished by Feb but he's always out of touch. I wrote the story last August but he had other guys make puzzles for the first chapter.

And they doesn't follow! Like, if you hang these clothes, a vase will fall down. I'm pushing for some sense of logic here. I know I'm just a hired writer and the client's daughter is on thr development team but, ugh, it could be so much better than nonsense.

They definitely walked back some of the changes, but I honestly didn't keep up with it once I decided to use Gadot.

Working on modifying the demo now to see what I can do with it. I have already expanded it, and I am adding a few features to it. Trying to make a beginning and an end goal.

I found this cool little short video on adding a camera for 2D


I added that and now I have a vertical platformer.

So one thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of changes in Gdscript between versions 3.3 and 4.1. I kept having issues following a tutorial until I saw the version difference.

So I have modified my demo game to learn some things. After adding the camera, I have added the pause menu, which is pretty neat. Going to do a few more things to this demo game, and then I figure that I will start on my actual game.

I have learned a few things though, so I am quite pleased with my progress so far.
