So yeah… I’ve forgot about this blog for a while. So many other strange new places you have to write and commit. I get crazy by all this. However I’ve been programming more than ever lately. Now that the spritemanager and game object manager(which I kind of made) for our game was completed I really felt as if I could do something for the group, So I did! Been sitting at school until early in the morning the last few […]

Unnamed Fish Game BloggPost 3

Today I ran into some issues while trying to modify the code from the Platformer project we got during last course. The problem occured as the old code used SDL, and the new project is using SFML.
The issues I ran into here was that the Sprite works differently in these libraries, as of the SFML has one included and in SDL we created our own, This made several of the parameters for the function in need for change. as of […]

Hello world, 
Today I have been creating a so called paralax by making the clouds move slightly depeding on in what direction the camera would move. I have attached the paralax to the camera rather than the player since there is a “safe area” where the player can move without having the field of view following (this is a side-scrolling 2d game).
I also put in a darker copy of the gameplay area (which has a silhuette of houses in the horizon) […]

Game dev – Milestone, playable game

The game is playable. It is a very simple version without almost all collision since that is not implemented yet. All code that makes the game playable is located within the engine but it will be broken up into the different states and managers as they start getting added.
I made a temporary collision code, as it was needed for collision between projectiles and enemies. It looks like this:

fDistanceX = fabs(m_xEnemies[k]->GetPos().x – m_xProjectiles[i]->GetPos().x);
fDistanceY = fabs(m_xEnemies[k]->GetPos().y – m_xProjectiles[i]->GetPos().y);
fDistanceTotal = sqrtf(fDistanceX*fDistanceX + fDistanceY*fDistanceY);
if(fDistanceTotal […]

Slow but good day

Today i continued work on my sprint, i now have player movement, sneaking and almost a working rotation by mouse. It was a slow day, i definetley think i could have worked better. 
I was delayed by having to re install Visual studio 2013 as my previous version was just a trial version. Wierd. 
Also there were only three of us in school today, and only one giving a reason for absence. We’re gonna have to talk abut this tomorrow.

Sprites, Animations and the Manager for them

So, what have I been doing since last update?
Well, I have been pretty sick for a while now so have not had the strength to code much but I have been working on our Sprite Manager and Animated Sprite. It think I got it working as I want J
The Sprite Manager loads and stores Textures. It also creates pointers to Sprites and Animated Sprites which other managers need. When an object asks for a Sprite or Animated Sprite the Sprite […]

Meeting, meeting, metting.

So it’s been a long time ago since wrote in this blog. So from Monday to Wednesday we have had four meetings. Monday we had a meeting with Finn Engström, we talked about how to better work in a group together. Not criticizes people based on no facts. Tell them what you think they are doing what you do not like. We should discuss in the group about how the dynamic is and what should change to make it better.

Photoshop fun

I love to draw, so I thought I’d practice some figure drawing from reference.

The first one I drew was Renekton, a humanoid lizard from League of Legends.I used a small brush with low opacity for my sketch which served as guidelines when later drew more precisely on another layer. The main goal for me was to keep the proportions same as much as I could and I believe I did a good […]

Hello world,
Today I have fixed what I intented to yesterday. I created an entirely new file where I included SFML and chose the right settings for the main function. At first I had some struggles with making the files for the SFML library work, but by looking at the old project were SFML were included and by using what I learned yesterday I finally managed to make it function.
Then I made my start-state (StartMenuState) output a question in the console-debugger-thingy […]
