Draw Manager

Today I have polished the state machine and added a DrawManager wich for now, clears the screen with a nice yellow color and presents it.A simple Entity class is made wich will hold all game objects.

Tomorrow I will be adding a sprite class that will load a file and get it to draw on the screen.

// CommentUtils.pointWithinRect = function(point, rect) { var px = point[0]; var py = point[1]; var top = rect.y; var left = rect.x; var bottom = rect.y + rect.height; var right […]

Post Alpha

Efter mycket om och men har man nu en blogg. Jag visste in att Google tillhandahöll bloggar så det var ju perfekt för en Google-älskare som jag.

Jag blev just färdig med min map generator i Javascript. Nu ska jag bara optimisera terräng generation.
Sedan fick vi en uppgift i C++ att skapa ett spel, 2 och 2 i grupper. Hand in någonstans i början av Januari.

Hoppas du som läser har en riktigt god jul!
