Understanding Managers

I’ve been fiddle ling with GameObjectManagers and InputManagers and I’ve noticed something.
It’s not really necessary to implement these into this game but it’s essential for the grade, fun note; grade is more important.
The GameObjectManager was built using iterators, you create a list of objects, update their positions to know where they are and by the architects command delete and create new ones accordingly.It of course wasn’t my idea like anything during this course so I was very impressed by the […]

Programming assignment 2014-01-08

Today we started to add classes, we got them implemented as such we can decide in the console between different states. The obstacle we’re facing now is how we’re supposed to connect the game’s engine methods to the different states. Creating a menu shouldn’t be that hard, just creating a window and draw stuff on there (I am well aware that there is more than just ”adding stuff” to get it working). But all together we’ve made some progress today. […]

Game Programming – Assignment day 14

Created the State manager class and several state classes.
Need to move the code in engine to the game state class.
Tried improving the way the player start position was loaded from a file, will need to get back on that.
Managed to make a bullet object spawn at the player ship cannon. Now I need a way to make it move as well as a way to make it possible for several bullets to exist at the same time, states will no […]

Programming Assignment – And we’re back

So, Were finally back after the Christmas-break. Anton and I have worked on menus for the settings today. We can now navigate through the main-menu and settings. We also decided what kind of resolutions we were going to use (a lot). I created a Classic arkanoid skin for the game that we will use as the standard skin.

Back from holiday and on to school

Aside from relaxing during the holiday me and my Enchant group finally made the game. Now I know how it feels to both code and do a level design and it takes much more time than one would’ve expect. During the next days I will post the project plan (should’ve posted it earlier) for our Arkanoid game project that is due to Sunday next week (if I recall correctly), and I’ve to prepare for some crunching again. I prioritized the […]

Frogger Dev. Post 17

Back to normal classes today… well, okay they were not actually normal classes as we don’t have anything left to learn so all we did was to work with our projects. Herman completed the animations so we now have Bulldozers whose bands actually move which is really cool. Meanwhile, I started working on the improved Pause Menu, there is quite a bit of work left on it but it shouldn’t be too much.
If we work well and hard we might […]

Tower Defense, continues

Didn’t have much time during Christmas and New Year to program, so have to catch up now.

Finished the path finding, enemy wave spawning and it seems to work good. (The green squares are placeholders, so not final art for the enemies )
Tomorrow I will try to implement different states: Esc-menu state, Start-menu state and Game state.
Short post, I know, but didn’t have much to comment on this time. Might be more tomorrow

Programming assignment: First day of school, again! 2014-01-07

Did a little progress on bullet but we had to ask for a bit of help because we didn’t know how we would get the player to spawn the bullet(the player isn’t really supposed to spawn the bullet but we want the user to believe that) other than that I lowered the sound of the gun sound and also changed it to a laser blaster sound so it would be more spacy-wacy.

Day 13,

I met with my partner for the first day in 3 weeks. We agreed that he should start with Music and Sound classes. And then move on to the Sound and MusicManagers together tomorrow when we meet again. I will continue work with text handling and the score system.
I didn’t get much programming done today. But I did alot of testing and little tweaking with the collision between ball and bricks. It works better now but i still have some […]

Frogger the game

Så då har vi äntligen börjat på projektarbetet till programmerings kursen. Vi har valt att göra det gamla spelet Frogger och har redan kommit en bit på vägen.
Jag ska sätta mig och börja skaffa fram bilarna på skärmen, det kommer nog bli en lista med bilar som när de åkt över skärmen bara dyker upp från början igen.
