Love so much about this, especially following your problem solving and thought process. The concept of choosing a passion project as a way of learning is such a great approach that clearly works at any level! But you’ve left me with nostalgia and a desire to go and find and play Lemmings now!
Very impressed! I didn’t rush to view this video because gaming sounds out of my concerns. How wrong I was! This is a fascinating problem solving story, there is lot to learn from your way of working. Thank you very much. But Lisa said that better than me
Looking for the edges of a language like this is so inspirational and *needed* for a language to evolve. Thank you Scott, will follow and will try some Pokemon game DIY in a Canvasapp myself 😁
Seeing this makes me think some fairly sophisticated charting could be done in a Canvas App either augmenting a chart control or going custom altogether. Thanks for showing the community what is possible!
Thank you for watching Scott ☺️ Definitely- I think you could do some very pretty charts with SVG - Perhaps it would be easier to use Power BI tiles embedded inside the app.
This is my new favourite PowerApps video!!! We have soooo many similiar ideas, but I don't think I would have worked out the 0s and 1s of the level with Mid(). Such a great job! Suggestion for the selection: combine the two techniques you showed. Sprites in one SVG in the back and transparent buttons in front for the selection part.
Thank you! I found that because I needed to be able to quickly update and read map bits, the string manipulation was the quickest. I did try using byte masking/arrays but the manipulation was slower and more complex in my tests. I guess there are lots of alternatives with pros and cons. I’ll definitely try using transparent buttons - I suspect that it might not perform any better since it would add the extra overhead of drawing the svg layer. I’ll let you know! Thank you again 🥰
@@ScottDurow probably not more performant, but you wouldn't need to create 20 containers. At the moment I'm experimenting a lot with galeries in front of SVGs, but my examples weren't moving :D
This is briliant, seemed impossible to me at first (looked like a clickbaite to be honest), but very very clever use of SVG, JSON and Mid. Well done, stay creative and keep sharing your ideas please!
My philosophy has always been that if you can figure out how to build games in a new framework you can probably figure out how to make almost anything.
@@ScottDurow Worked out a couple games in PowerApps. Recently I have been working on a turn-based RPG that would take advantage of the power platform easy full stack deployment.
To prevent clippping with gallery, you must have 2 collections, one static as items of the collection and one dynamic tant will be read through a lookup.
