I bought a new computer the other day

For some time i have promised my daughter that i would give her my computer so she could start her own youtube channel, to broadcast her Roblox gameplay.

This saturday i went to the store and picked up the parts for a new computer. I walked the AMD path this time with a Ryzen 5 3600 and a radeon RX 5700 graphics card. Since i was also giving my monitor away i had to buy a new curved 32" 144hz 1440p monitor.

I had some problems putting the new computer together. It turned out that the motherboard needed a BIOS update to accept the processor. I don't know how to flash the BIOS of a non-functioning computer so i had to go back to the store and pick up another motherboard. All of this meant that i did not write much code this weekend. I did however implement the pathfinding algorithm into my ai. And it works perfectly. The mobs are chasing the hero throughout the labyrinth, they do get stuck from time to time - but i should be able to tweek the ai to handle that better.

I tried a few maps in Path of Exile as well. With maxed settings on 1440p i hade a frame rate of around 140-150 - just as the monitor. It looked quite a lot better than my 2D sprite game. But i'm getting there. :)
