Highscore SDL

Just made something to keep track of highscores. It remembers only three values.
First it tells the player in the console which score he got.
Then I read from the text file which the previous scores are in, then I compare the current score with these. If it’s higher than any of them it is pushbacked into a vector together with them (if it’s the highest of all of them it is written in the console that you’ve got the highscore). The vector […]

FSM – finitie state machine

A finite state machine. Something I’d never heard of. The task said that you should make three different AI-states for enemies, but it was not as simple as expected. We had three different states, but we had no state machine for it, so we couldn’t get points for that either.
We had to get points for that.
We made the state machine by making the enemy’s update-function into a small state manager that updated different states. The states were object that inherited […]

Getting rid of old stuff

I’m so happy that themepark has begun! And I really want to start working on our game! But I can’t, and I feel so bad about that.
There’s a task that I have not completed that I have to do first.
It’s for one of the previous courses in which we were supposed to make a game that included some stuff on a list, for example a collisionmanager and a statemanager. I thought we were almost completed with this project, but I […]

First week of Big Game project

As the title suggests I recently started a course called Big Game project. During this course I will, together with a group, create a vertical slice of a game, that we will continue to work with after this course. The game that I will work on is a MOBASA, Multiplayer Online Battle and Strategy Arena, that we are calling Eternal Resonance Arena, E.R.A. The game is team based where two teams face each other. Each team have a commander; that […]

Theme Park

This week the next course began. In the course we are supposed to work in groups to make a game and input system for arcade machines.
My team is going for a game where you feed a crocodile and help it eat. You move the “crocodiles” teeth in a puzzle manner to eat the different kinds of foods that the crocodile is going to eat. The teeth have to be placed in certain places for it being able to eat the […]

What happen to week 10?

I was supposed to post about the project result last week but i actually forgot about it. The only thing i wanted to do was to get some rest…
So last Thursday we sat up all night polishing the game, i put a to-do-list as, but the lead programmer said that we didn’t have the time to complete everything so we ended up trashing a lot of features. So the artist would sit down and finish all the art that we […]

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 […]
