Today i did less work

Not very much done today. I installed Visual studio and dropbox onto my stationary computer so that’s done. Martin did a lot of work today with the states so i wrote my own version of the planning document. 

State engine

So far, I have finished the state engine.
Right now it only loads one state, the menu state but you will be able to switch states from anywhere, making it as flexible as I can.

I think I will work on the Input Manager right now. Im waiting for Laban to wake up so that we can make up our project plan. That is why I will create core functions that will be independent of what type of game to make.

Programming Project, Planning

Here is our planning for the project. (copy-paste from word, the formatting is messed up)
Planning document
Project name: Boberman
Project participants: Tomas Lindell and Robert Olin.
Deadline: 19 January 2014.
Schedule:
No schedule needed since there will be work done almost (not the 24^th dec) every day.
We will try to do the most important parts first, then move on to the bonuspoints (see goal list).
Goals:

1.    Structure the game after the project score system (to achieve every possible point)
2.    Make the game playable

x.1.    Enable players to […]

Programming Project, day 7 – part 2

The collision between players and level objects was bugging me some, so I fixed that. It’s much more smooth now.
Started working on the menu state, added a MenuObjectManager and a vector to hold MenuObjects. Created four of them. Nothing is interactable (is that a word?) but it looks better than the former blank grey screen.

Programming Assignment

We have an assignment in programming in which we have to create a game using C++. I was paired up with Robin Karlsson and since “doing a clone of an classic arcade game is highly recommended” we decided to make a clone of the game Duck Hunt.
We came up with a project plan and then divided some chores.
I will do the basic level, ducks (movement, counter, etc), animation, music and sound manager, configuration file and the menu.

Today i did work

Today i started doing my part of the project, i suspect Martin started yesterday so i can’t say “we started”.
We both worked for most of the afternoon, him working on game states and i adding gameobjects and some managers. There seems to be some issues with my version of visual studio not loading the files sent from Martin but he is able to load mine by taking the .h and .cpp files and adding them to the project on his […]

Programming Project, day 7 – part 1

Added mastervolume to the Audiomanager and animations to powerups. Powerups now get destroyed if hit by an explosion.

Testing

Having problems enabling comments, posting this to see if it only applies to old posts.

Frogger Progress

After spending a large part of this evening with the Frogger assignment its now time for the daily update (even though its past midnight).
Today I’ve spent much time thinking of in which order to build up the game, Ended up with me working on implementing GameStates.
While its a work in progress i think its important to get this in as early as possible, in order to make it easier to work with rather than getting the game states later.
As of […]

It possibly maybe perhaps, finally begins (a little)

Just checked and saw that babel is working, great.
Today me and Marting discussed the elements of Frogger and what we needed to do during the Christmas holidays. We decided to split the work into four parts. We didn’t name them specifically but the parts were:
-Core things: a working level with a menu screen, moving player and functional enemies.
-Important things: Lives, Game over state, score, “proper” graphics, etc.
-More stuff: different levels, more obstacles, score bonuses 
-Yeah right… :Multiplayer mode, music.
Our planning so […]
