This is so interesting as an RTS enjoyer.

A widely accepted opinion is that you should be able to steamroll beginners all day? In Starcraft we call that smurfing and the community hates it with a passion.

@miketuritzin This was so impressive! I think there's a whole range of physics based games you unlock here.

[LukeyB || making snowy racing game @LukeyBDevs]

@_staggart_ This is genius and looks great!

@ShawnTheMiller Hey I did one of these for my game too, I found it easier to just do a little binary search to find the closest camera zoom that still framed everything rather than trying to solve it. Yours looks great!

@Jakob_Wahlberg What happened to your tunic-like as well? It really looked like you were cooking there..
