This week on Spider Web Dev Blog, not much to report. I have been a lazy dev. Also just starting to get daunted by all the things I want to do with this project, combined with my lack of knowledge. But the only way to learn is to do, so I am trying to push… Continue reading Spider Web Dev Blog 3
A bit of progress to report this week. I got the movement feeling a lot smoother in general. Stopping in intersections no longer feels nearly as wonky.
