Getting it together

We had our weekly Quality Time meeting with Marcus today and we was not satisfied with our work since the lest meeting. Hopefully this will be a good motivator for the entire group.
Today i worked on adjusting the RPM slider. My first version had the slider button to be placed at the same X coordinate as the current rotation speed divided by a thousand. This worked for a simple test to make sure the slider could move from input but […]

Must get back into this

Been a while again. That other course really helped me with blogging, i guess it was a good way to end a day.
For the last Two weeks I’ve been working on the same game and learning about using Unity and C#. After the last post i worked on making the Heads Up Display actually change depending on values. The most important things i learned of this is to use static variables in order to access them from different scripts and […]

Let’s see if we can bring this back.

Fitting that i said i was going to resume blogging on April 1. 
For the last two weeks I’ve been working in the new group on Slacker Simulator, Project Miracle, Project Groove and now on Long Play.
We had some issues with what game idea to chose for our project and went through several ones but now we have decided to pick a music based game where the player avoids objects while running along a spinning LP track. (LP stands for Long […]

And now back to your regularly scheduled blog

Man, what a week. Not a moment of rest. With this post i hope to get the blog back on track and then i’ll be back on the horse completely.
Last week we worked every night finished the game and writing the Post Mortem. We forgot/overslept testing our final build so it was full of bugs. I busted my [redacted] finishing the programming report but then the deadline was pushed up two weeks. We decided roles in the theme park group […]

Busy week.

This is going to be a busy week. I have to finish my Scrum obligations, write the Post Mortem and then write another report for the programming class.
On Monday i managed to get additional color codes for a few extra objects in the game as well as fix the issue where items laying on the ground were drawn out after the player which was causing the player to walk under them. I attempted to find out the cause of an […]

Stupid, States and Group meeting.

Another full day of work as per usual, i went to school a bit earlier to see if i could get the States working properly. After lunch my functions for setting and changing states were so convoluted that i decided to revert to an older version too take a different approach to the issue. In the end i found the issue of my problems. When declaring the states in the engine class i had copied the previous constructors and replaced […]

Artifact post: Win and Lose states.

This week’s artifact is the implementation of a Win state and a Lose State.
Previously the only states we’ve had were the Menu State and the Game State. The menu state was the main menu and inherited from a State class and was handled by out StateManager which keeps the current state updating and drawing. The main menu have three buttons, each with a set function to be activated when the button is clicked. The one relevant to this is the […]
