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 […]

Good day

I have a lot of work ahead of me but today was a good day. Most importantly i now have a theme park group. I put up a LFG on the facebook group and within five minutes i had someone asking me to join their group. It’s a pretty new group so they didn’t seem to have a clear idea other than something with the brainwave scanner. I figured it might be interesting and since i had nowhere else to […]

Polish, polszczyzna

With the last two weeks of the project started i have begun polishing the final things of the project as i wasn’t working on anything very specific. Bolt is working on the AI for the guards and then are going to work on lighting so he’ll be busy for most of the time from now on. Leonard is adding more sounds this week but will start helping me with polish stuff in the final week.
Today we did a lot of […]

I threw it on the GROUND!

Missed the post last night, I mostly worked on the throwing function and had a meeting with Jerry about my Programming1 assignment. I didn’t get very much done between the meeting and having to go home for the evening for a birthday. I got the throwing functionality working at least.
Today we have been working in the Game room all day, i’ve been adding doors all day, at first i made every door it’s own type of object and even had […]

Before the Beta. Day 1

First day of the week. We decided to do late evenings until Thursday rather than having to do it all on Thursday night(again). 
Today i did the mistake of going after Oliver when updating Git and therefor had to adjust mu code with the changes he had made in his which took over an hour and because of me messing up my updates i ended up wiping part of what i had done during the day and i had to redo […]

Time to worry

Today we had a play testing session during the afternoon but we had to use the more buddy version of the game since Oliver was sick and his computer was the only one who inexplicably was able to run the game without a few major bugs. And such our game was once again not shown from it’s best side but i think we did alright anyways. What’s important right now is to get a bunch of stuff in the game […]

Artifact post: Getting Git working.

This week’s artifact: Integrate GitHub to the group.
I begun yesterday by abandoning the old repository and creating a new one. It didn’t work so i tried to make another one. When that didn’t work either i realized that the Debug and Release folder weren’t the only ones who were not supposed to be in the repository. I realized i had been copying the Hidden folder Git as well so for the next repository (Number 4) i only added the other folders […]

Git is working. for now…

Today was interesting. We worked in the group all day and during the morning i added a virtual void in the weapon class for dropping the object rather than throwing it and also had the item draw out on the screen. After lunch i decided to finally get around to get Git working properly. After creating several new projects and accidentally copying the wrong folders i finally got something working and we managed to get out projects synced between computers, […]

Another somewhat productive day

Had a better day today. Turns out most of the things i had written in my Scrum planning had been solved in bolt’s latest version. Removing guards when they are killed and fixing the crashes i was having when dropping and throwing items. However Bolt recently stepped in and added a new class and derived class for weapons which will be useful in the future but messed up my existing method for throwing and drawing items.
Today i added a virtual […]

Today’s historical figure: Tycho Brahe

Today nothing went right, period.
I was planning on getting to school early at nine to read an hour before the group meeting, when i arrived i booked a classroom for us to meet in and went in there to read. At twenty past ten i begin to wonder where everyone is and after chekcking the course homepage it turned out we had the Post Mortem class today. I spilled my water bottle while packing a my things and every toilet […]

Item Class Friday

Today i remade the pickup items into their own class but moving variables and functionality from the GameObject class(which the Item now inherits) it took most of the day to replace all the items and correct all the places where they were mentioned into working properly but it turned out good in the end. I still have the bugs where items will fly in the wrong direction when thrown and they still don’t collide with walls but we decided to […]

Thank god for Sticky Notes

Without that app i would never had been able to keep track of what I’ve done that day.
Today we worked in the Game room most of the day and while i ran into several problems i still feel like i did pretty well. First of all i fixed an issue where guards would still cause the player to reset on contact even after being killed, due to them having their own bool to check whether they were removed or not […]
