Routes in Progress 2
Although if I do generate the path in forward order, I get an unintentional animated effect from the change in the dash pattern that actually looks kind of cool.
Routes in Progress
I’m experimenting with showing routes in progress for each climber. The CGPath of the SKShapeNode needs to be recalculated with each move so that the path can “disappear” as the climber follows it. The path is generated in reverse order (starting from destination tile node) so that the dash pattern is constant .

What are the chances that any laptops get refreshed at the 27 March Apple event? (I’m in the market for a laptop soonish.)

Aerial Intruder vs Stardefender 200
Aerial Intruder was clearly inspired by Futuron’s Stardefender 200 from 1987. Both have detachable twin pods to either side of a large central windscreen.
Aerial Intruder ramp
Through a clever brick-built mechanism, raising the central windshield on the Aerial Intruder lowers the ramp, allowing the two mini rovers to roll out. Lowering the windshield then raises the ramp.
Aerial Intruder
Aerial Intruder, 1991. Blacktron II flagship has twin detachable fighter pods, twin mini rovers, and a jet pack stashed in the rear.
