GAME PROGRAMMING I: WEEK SIX

This week I have continued working on the Legend of Zelda clone that I started last week.
I have started to plan on paper out more of how the rooms will work and how the transition from two different rooms will work.

Met up on voicechat to organize, go over what has been done and plan for the next few days.
My partner suggested tiling for the background. Seems like a very good idea! Generate a room by reading in characters from a text file.
Partner went over animation again for me.
Decided to draw the sprite for the sword separately from the sprite for Link, that is, draw both sprites when an attack is […]

Making Skelly Dungeon, a Zelda clone part 2

A week has gone by and we’ve gained a foothold on our project we feel confident in. With Github me and Dee can easily work on the project at the same time without trouble. And now that we’ve implemented some of the basic functions I can see the whole project coming together.

What we’ve done this week:

Player can now move and it feels natural
The players animation works while moving. There are a few errors here which will […]

Projekt på gång

Jag och Sebastian (min projektpartner) kom överens om att använda oss av Arkanoid-koden för att göra Space Invaders. Vi tyckte att de spelen var ganska lika till viss grad och bestämde oss för att skriva om Arkanoid-koden som vi har. Min första … – Läs hela inlägget här
