Programming Project (The End)

Today I have been working with TTF and font. I created a font “How To Play”. When you hold your mouse pointer over it, a text will pop-up. The pop-up text describes how to play the game/ description of the game.  When you move away the mouse pointer from “How To Play” the pop-up text will disappear.
Andreé managed to get the highscore system to work. Where you can  type in your name  which then appear in a highscore list.

 
We have now […]

Programming Project

Today I have been working on SDL_Mix Volume and balancing the game. We can now set a volume value between 0-100% on both soundeffects and music. It enables us to set different volume levels for music and sound effects. We can do this by reading the value from a text file.  Example, you can put music in the value of 50% while the sound effects have a value of 30%.
To balance the game was not so easy but is quite good now.

Programming Project

Today I have been working on sound effects.
I have fixed the sound effects for:
* Enemy kill (Sound when you kill a enemy)
* New round (Sound when new round start)
* Buy tower (Sound when you bye a tower)
* Player takes damage (Sound when you lose health)
Will continue to work on balancing the game, including player health, tower damge, tower range, tower price, tower speed and so on ….
Since all settings are loaded from text files it’s very easy to change these […]

I and Andree have started to work a little with the enemy animations, it did not go quite as planned, as we didn’t get the animation to work for some reason .. , but Andree continues to work with the animation and I continue with the tower placement.

Update programming project

Back from Christmas holiday and New Year celebrations. I have not updated my work for a while and the reason is because I have been busy during the holidays with other things. But now it is time to continue the work. We have now about 2 weeks left to finish our Tower Defence game.
I and Andrée will work as much as we can this week so that we 100 % can finalize the game next week.
