I have been very bad at posting… Bomberman
|
A couple of weeks ago we got the final assignment for this course, where we’re going to copy an old retro game. Me and Erik Lindgren are working on a copy of Bomberman. To be frank, I have not worked anything on the project during Christmas and new year, and I’ve been to the Canaries islands so the communication between me and Erik has been limited, and I have not worked more than a couples of hours on the project. But befor Christmas we had made some progress. We have taken a lot of the basic code that our teacher wrote for an Arkanoid game, such as the functionality to read and draw sprites and text, and a bunch of other basic engine stuff. What we’ve, or Erik, managed to do so far is to read a tilemap form a .txt file and print it on the screen, however it does not do any collision checking at the moment. I’ve written a player-class and you can basicly move around a box with the WASD-keys, and also place a bomb using the B-key, which currently also is a little box that does nothing but wait a couple of seconds and then “explodes” by disappearing and spawning four explosion sprites around it. I had some trouble spawning only one bomb, since the game checks if a key is pressed down and there for it spawns a new bomb for every round the key is pressed down. I did a work around and made it so that the player could only spawn one bomb. The placement of the explosion sprites where something I did have some trouble with as well but I’ll leave it for now. I put some collision checking in the game as well, between the bomb and a specific tile on the map, and made the tile dissappear, though this is probably all going to be scrapped since it does not use the AxisAligned Bounding Box method.  |
