TTF is not my friend. Post #7

Writing this one slightly late, as the following is what I did yesterday. Got home way too late to blog anything.
Anyhow. As I wrote in my last post I was playing with the reset-function of the game, but that’s still not working. It’s really a low priority thing so I only work on it if I have some extra time. I’m getting closer, but yeah, that is put on ice for now.
We got the score up and running yesterday, although […]

SDL_ttf

I’ve tried to get the SDL_ttf working.
It turns out that it was made for SDL 1.2 and not 2.0, which we are using.
This makes implementing it a lot harder, it’s based on SDL_Surfaces and not SDL_Windows, that we use..

Uni projects: cowboy construction

Hello Everyone.
This month we had a final assignment for a course. It’s a combination of 2 different assignments and this is one of the halfs.
The work we had to do was take this sketch and make a clear construction for it.

So this is what I winded up with:

Spelprogrammering – Assignment – 16 (Yesterday)

I can’t figure out how to get my gamestates to work, so – in the interest of time, I’ll leave that be for the time being. Instead I manually (hardcoded) a new level when you’ve cleared every single block on the screen.
I’ve got a few more points to collect, so I’ll be trying to add text and maybe highscores just to gain those few extra points.  

Day 21

I have been working all day and all night. Its now 5 in the morning and I need to sleep some before school later today. 🙂Finally we have something that feels like a game!I added 10 levels to the game. I also added 3 more powerups with animation. So now you can get multiball, long pad, sticky pad and extra life. I polished the start screen little as well so it looks more “gamey” I added music and sound where […]

Programming Assignment – Arkanoid

Today Anthon and I worked on a few more powerups as well as a bunch of levels. I will probably skip the Encryption because we really don’t have any need for it right now and I cant make it work without being very easy to crack. I think I know how to make something that kind of sort of works a little but it is too much work for something we dont need (I might finish it if we ever […]

KreakOut #9 – Text? Where we’re going, we don’t need text!

Seriously, SDL_TTF is frustrating when you don’t know 100% what is going on with the rendering. Most of the day went towards trying to get that to work, so we didn’t get as much as we wanted done today. Tomorrow (Friday) might be the last day we work on this, as we don’t want to rush with the report too much.
Things we did get to work had to do with the audio, though. Sound-effects are in place and so is […]

Getting All The Objects to work in sync + Animations

I have to admit I was almost beaten but this was easily the most fun I had.
When you get to play with the objects and fiddle around with the values of sprite size, speed and correlations it was a delight to see everything working finally.
After finding trouble thinking how I should tackle things I only hope the next project will require me to ask less questions and help from people.
The animation is only working as intended with the avatar at […]
