Frogger Progress 27/12

Once again I’ve been working on states, Now got two states and a temporary toggle button to change between them. It will be easy to add more states afterwards.
Besides this I’ve been working on getting over more useful things from the Platformer project, and hopefully during the next time I work with it, there will be some Visual differences ( Drawing out the Level, and Player). Rather than just behind the scenes work.

Another day, another blogpost

Today i added the goal objects to the game, i feel like i could have done it faster however. On the other hand i learned what causes the “unresolved external symbol” error and how to fix it(which took most of the time). On a side note i also made an image of where the goal objects are drawn.
Martin worked on adding logs today and struggled with collision, we didn’t work together today so i am not sure how well he […]

Programming Project, day 13

So! I have now made the game more flexible in a lot of ways. The width and height of window and tiles are controlled by variables within core. The next step is getting them from a file with fstream. The variables are static member variables and I’m not sure how to change them. Maybe they can be changed in main, but I want to keep that clean. Or maybe they can be changed in a method of core (the constructor […]

Programming assignment 2013-12-27

Been working a bit more on collision and added level.h and level.cpp. However I’m getting an error code telling me that the float Z in collision cant handle right expression. Need to dig a bit deeper to fin out what’s the problem. But for the moment that’s my only error code…hehe… I think.  

Back again!

After a smaller X-mas break I’ve looked into the Frogger Project again.
This time I went back to the Platformer and managed to fix the Animations that i didn’t get to work during the last lecture before leaving the island.
By doing this I now think that I have a plan on how to get it into Frogger.
Also did some State Testing, now able to change state with a keypress. Not that much done with the states themselves yet though just color […]

Frogger Dev. Post 06

We made some good progress today. We’ve now got working logs and a background. I worked on making the logs while Herman worked on the background.
The logs work in a rather simple manner. They move in a constant speed and when they come in contact with the player they use a different update function that takes the player along with them at the same speed. The Gamestate’s update function handles this, to help with this task the Gameobjects have been […]

Game Programming I – Assignment day 8

Started working on sounds for our game. Found some music and sound clips to start out with and put them in a sound folder.
Started making the SoundClip, MusicClip and SoundManager classes.

Visual progress!

Today i added a background object to our project.
This may have been extremely unnecessary as i seem to have forgotten to put .PNG after the filename in my original method of drawing. This caused me to go create a brand new game object for the background instead of just drawing it as a sprite. Tomorrow i will make sure whether i can achieve the same result without the extra class.
In general i feel like we made a lot of progress […]

Block object and Utilities class

The following was made yesterday and I had no time making a blogpost because now it’s Christmas.

So what is have been done.

I have tweaked the GameState since the main focus lies there and not in MenuState och HighscoreState.

I added blocks spawning in a rate of 1*.6 seconds wich will be changed in future. I´ve also added movement to the blocks. I think I have alot more understanding in pointers and iterators now. First I saw an iterator as a usual […]

Colliding with bounds

Now I have managed to make the blocks collide with the floor. But their y values are not equal when the land so some blocks get an offset wich I cant get rid of (visible on picture). I think it’s because we are dealing with floats. I will try to round it to nearset 1 decimal.

I have not heard from Laban since the 23th. I hope hes OK and have grabbed the sounds.My next task is […]

Event System in C++

As a part of getting input into the game I’m working on for the programming course we’re taking right now, I wanted to implement some kind of event system. I come from a background in web development, working a lot with javascript and actionscript and I tend to draw inspiration from there. I always liked the flexibility and ease of use of the event handling in javascript and actionscript, and I wanted to try and do something similar with my […]

Post for two days

While i remembered to make a post about Sunday on Monday, i ironically forgot to make Monday’s post on Monday. So, Monday I went through the code trying to find the exact line that drew the player onto the screen. It became a test of going through code over several classes as i didn’t save the work without the animation from the platformer project. I was eventually unable to find it and i ended the day on a low point.
Tuesday […]
