Game programming – the ninth week, work on the third assignment

This week I continued my work on the particle effects. We have three distinct effects in our game now: explosions, smoke and bubbles.
Next week will be focused on wrapping up the game project as well as presenting it.

Game programming I – Week 7 – 10

During the Christmas, most progress was stalled and I instead tried to learn more programming through videos.
When I got back after the Christmas, we made minor progress with our pellets, but little more.
These weeks have been largely uneventful.

This weeks production on the helium engine

Working with the states gave me a better understanding on something I’ve worked with for some time. I’ve been looking at each feature we’re putting in such as 3rd person camera, a cube, a goal, a button(GUI), a HUD and been thinking how each class should be structured.
Its pretty simple if you think about it. You have a function that constructs the feature, another that update it if it needs to and one that draws it.
The problem we are looking […]

Week 9 | Red Plane1942

I’ve been working on a menu system by creating classes such as the following:

GUI_Element: Is the base class for all GUI classes.
GUI_Label: Contains a Draw() function and a SpriteText* variable. It can also be parented to another GUI_Element.
GUI_Image: Contains a Draw() function and a Sprite* variable. It can also be parented to another GUI_Element.
GUI_Button: Contains a Draw() and a CheckCollision() function, a Collider* variable, a GUI_Label* variable and two GUI_Image* variables. One image is for the button sprite. The other […]

Progress!

Back to University again! After returning to the island a lot more progress has been made with my project and I now have a hope I might actually have it working in time.
After asking for help I finally managed to sort out my issues with SDLKey refusing to work, so that the block could be moved around on the screen. Once this worked I wrote up some code to make the block stop and freeze when it reaches the bottom […]
