Level Editor in C#
Yet another long day.
I have been working on a level editor in C# for our game ”Escape”.
Why a level editor? Because creating a level would be pretty hard without it. Because we will not use tiles, the level designer would have to manually type coordinates for each item on the map. Tables, chairs, guards, waypoints, exit, entrance, keys, etc. The editor will allow the designer to build the level by choosing an Entity (guard, furniture, etc.) and rotate and place […]

Game dev – Game structure, Github, SFML and early version of the game.
We have sat down, us programmers, and discussed how we want the game built with engine, managers and states. We use a program for flowcharts called Dia. It seems to have some bugs though so maybe we will change it out. This is an early version of the flowchart I just mentioned. A work in progress:
We worked on it, got feedback and here below is the final version as it looks now. Things might change:
I added delta time […]

Unnamed Fish Game BloggPost 2
Today we had two Interesting lectures from Ernest Adams and Adam Mayes.
This cover the some of the mayor principles of how to create games and how important it is to test if it will be fun. The lecture covered 5 types of Core Mechanics
– Physics
– Economics
– Progression
– Tactic Maneuvering
– Social Interaction
And how important it is for programmers to create a way for the Game Designer to make changes in the game without having to go to the programmers asking, can […]

EntityManager, an inheritance problem
Så idag har varit en intressant dag, har börjat testa arv i c++ och det finns mycket man inte kan och man hittar ständigt nya saker som man både kan och inte kan göra. Som “pure virtual functions“, om man vill läsa om dem så rekommenderar jag denna länken: http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/126-pure-virtual-functions-abstract-base-classes-and-interface-classes/
Hursomhelst så har jag stött på ett problem idag när jag jobbade på en “EntityManager“, som skulle hålla en vector med “Entity” pekare. Där Entity är basklassen för alla objekt som finns […]

Next game started – Concept “Escape”
After a couple of weeks silent I’m now back for more regular updates. After a couple of weeks silent I’m now back for more regular updates.
In our new course Game Development – Introduction (I think it is called) we are to choose another groups concept and develop it to a working game. It is the same group as in Game Design – Introduction except that we got another member, a graphic artist, and we chose to take the concept “Escape”.
You are an agent and have to escape a building without getting caught.

Viewport
Bah! Instead of going to bed I wanted to create a viewport for our game prototype.
So what is a viewport?A viewport is a portion of the whole game screen that can be manipulated to show any area on the whole game screen by setting a position on it. In my example the viewport centers around the main character(the player).In my algorithm I added some lines of code that will prevent the viewport from showing extra stuff outside the game window […]

Hello world,
A bit late maybe to post about yesterdays work, but I’m still at school so to me it’s still Wednesday.
So, today me and my two co-programmers met up with Jerry who gave us a 30 minute lesson about how states and state management works. I’ve also been reading about it and watching tutorials. Last thing I did today (besides playing an ARAM in LoL) was to try to implement what I’ve learned about states and actually trying to create some […]

A day with me
Today I started programing a moving square using W,S,A,D keys, and I made I circle follow my mouse movements in the screen, That could be used as the sight when you shoot in the top view game we are making. I also looked up how to use texture and adding sprites, It is really easy to do. It is not that much to type, to get anything to work in SFML, which is nice for me who have a hard […]

Project Aurora….something fishy
New game in the making!
General:
In this project I’m working in a group with 3 graphic students and 3 programmers.For graphic we have Adam, Mikaela and Frida and for programmers we have me->Georgios, David, Oscar and Viktor.(I will try to link them to their blogs at a later time)
In this project we have to make everything!….from the design document working with SCRUM and making the actual game. The game is based on a concept document made by another group from […]
