<\/h3>\n

This week I worked on two more engines: Drascula<\/strong> and Chamber<\/strong>. I also got my PRs for the Pink<\/a>, EFH<\/a>, Drascula<\/a>, and Lab<\/a> engines merged \ud83c\udf89.<\/p>\n

Drascula Engine<\/h4>\n

The Drascula engine wasn\u2019t particularly difficult, but it came with a decent number of keys and keymaps. The process was straightforward overall, though it was somewhat time-consuming due to the sheer amount of keys that needed replacing.<\/p>\n

One interesting aspect of this engine was that I came across my first in-game easter egg<\/strong> while testing the key actions\u2014definitely a fun surprise during the work.<\/p>\n

I also had to handle enabling and disabling keymaps in a few spots. Nothing too complicated, but still took time.<\/p>\n

Chamber Engine<\/h4>\n

Chamber became my second unannounced engine <\/strong>(after Sludge engine) where I added keymapper support. Normally, I\u2019ve been focusing only on announced and tested engines, to avoid running into unrelated bugs that might interfere with the keymapper work.<\/p>\n

In this case, I only realized the engine was unannounced after I had already started working on it. Since I didn\u2019t encounter any gameplay-breaking issues, I decided to go ahead and finish the keymapper implementation.<\/p>\n

The work itself was on the simpler side. Chamber only had a handful of keys, and just a single keymap that needed to be toggled on and off. Figuring this out was quick and straightforward.<\/p>\n
