Project plan (albeit delayed and inaccurate)

It was my team mate Georgios that made most of this so kudos to him. The goal with this project is to make an Arkanoid-kind game with the use of c++ and SDL. The project responsibilities are as followed (however not restricted to only): “Georgios is in charge of putting the parts of the program together while Stefan is in charge of creating classes that can be implemented into the main program. The aim is to implement all the basic features first to get […]

R-kanoid progression with music and sound

After I had that meeting it felt a lot better since I got another perspective on programming and my situation. The game’s new name is “R-kanoid” which gives it a little twist, and yesterday I sat with the code and tried to figure out how to implement the code to the music and sound and trying to understand it, and I do understand it slightly but not as much as I would like to because there is much that I […]

Programming Project, day 20 – part 2

Made another small change to the GameEndState, added two textobjects, a title text (“Score screen”) and one that displays the current highscore.
Also, I think there are some pointers that aren’t deleted in the GamePlayState when exiting it.

Programming Project, day 20 – Artificial Intelligence working!

The artificial “intelligence” works now! It was really fun working with. Right now it only has one state, “Farming”.
Actually, the state works in two ways and I will transfer one of these ways to another state which I will call “Fleeing”, “Escaping” or something like that. The “Farming” AI checks the nearby tiles, moves and places a bomb if the conditions are right. Then it runs away (this will be transferred to the “Flee” state) and repeats. It only checks […]

Programming Project Part 4

After adding a couple of sound effects triggered by left-clicking, I realised that I will have to remake the entire structure of the project, so as to include the various states.
This leads to another problem; using states without having to make it redundant. Right now my first state called INIT only reads from a file and returns the configuration to my Engine, while it’s supposed to be the initializer that starts up everything that is needed and then change the […]

Tower Defense – not much today

Didn’t do much today. I only programmed for about an hour. I did go through most of the code and found some useless bits I don’t know why I put there in the first place, like:
direction.m_x = direction.m_x; direction.m_y = direction.m_y;
For those of you that know nothing of programming, this doesn’t do anything useful. It sets directions m_x and m_y variables to the same as it was before, which is pretty useless and redundant
I also commented some of […]

Linking errors is a good start.

 
I started on our game assignment two days ago and I directly encountered some problems. (not related to the above picture)
The problems I encountered were related to me being absent from several lectures, due to hospital visits, leaving me uncapable of understanding the code hierarchy of our “big” workshop project. Which was a platformer with a more complex engine which handles sound, sprites etc. and when I look at it now I just do not understand squat. So to […]

More progress

Finally took the time to Tweak around with the Level, and Background to create something that looks more appealing to work on.
Beside the visual change there is now working music from the program. At this I ran into some issues with faulty .mp3 files that would exit the program without giving any error messages.
The next step is to work with these sliders in order change volume and such. The Sliders is created in such a way that its very, […]

Much changes!

The whole game has been reworked a lot and the current method for creating a sprite is to do

Sprite* ball = new Sprite(“ball.png”, 100, 300);

This will create a sprite at position 100, 300 with a ball image. I exploded the drawManager and divided it into parts, mostly in the WindowManager which manages window and renderer operations(mostly SDL stuff). The current version of the window Manager only takes one window and renderer but it will be changed to have multiple windows […]

KreakOut #4 – Bricks shall be shat

A Breakout game without bricks is like a really one-sided Pong match, so now it was time for those!
The main part of the block-script is just a copy of the BallObject, the problem was in getting multiple objects of the same type to work.
As someone that got more experience creating programs, I figured that arrays would do the job. After a lot of tinkering around, we ended up with what seemed like it would work with no errors at all. […]
