[ milker @ 21:11 ] SeaWar 1.0 RC2 Release

Add Keyboard support.
I suggest you use joystick to play this game.
Keyboard support just show in non-joystick system ( hasn't joystick ).


use key [WSAD] for move; [f] for mark, [v] is release mark and [g] for catch, [b] is release catch.



P.S. I had compete debug about Keyboard support.
But now the code is ugly.
If I have time, I will clear it later


SeaWar is depend:

1. python 2.4( maybe can running in above 1.5 )
2. pygame 1.7

Thank john, who give me idea to support keyboard.

[ milker @ 17:58 ] SeaWar 1.0 RC1 Release

I try add keyboard support in game.

it can run. but very ugly (has bugs).

:>

use key [WSAD] for move, [fv] for mark and [gb] for catch.

[ milker @ 14:55 ] Keyboard's arrow key

Many game use arrow key to handle robot or car, like running or jumping.

It is easy to handle for more people, but not for my sons.
because my keyboard is Happy Hacking Keyboard.
If my son need to press 'K_UP', he need to press [Fn] + [[]
So, the joystick control is good enough for them. If you don't have any idea to control your robot. Pleas support Joystick ( Thank you !!)

[ milker @ 01:57 ] Coding style

In many year ago. I started learning OO (Object Oriented) in programming skill. when I learned ruby and Java .

OO is difference than Old C style. ( my first computer language is Basic . it was running on a 8089 processor. it had not OO :<

One day my friend told me, he wrote a new java game.

He said that, when he did re-create a world. there had a ball and a stick.

1. what color was the ball has?
2. the ball was moving like ?
3. what color was the stick has?
4. the stick was moving like ?
5. when the stick met the ball ?
6. what happen, when the stick met the ball ?
7. or the world has power object. it was becoming ball and stick ? that was liked Aristotle said.

It didn't to thinking about process, focus to thinking about ball or stick,
when you care ball and stick. the world ( game ) should become very interest.

I did same in Sea War.

[ milker @ 00:31 ] Game philosophy (Sea War)

Sea War is a 2D real-time strategy game. It isn't like C&C , it just design for children about 4+ ( fours year old. ), so the game logic is very simple.

Another thing, Sea War is design for multi-player, they can play in same time and using one LCD monitor. they are taking up them joysticks and play it, they are talking and laughing.

I don't know howto active a two mouse in linux, so Sea War use joystick to play, and my son love joystick than keybroad and mouse.

[ milker @ 00:04 ] Why write a Game ? ( SeaWar )

In 2008 easter, I wanted to write someting. that can help my sons to learn.

I have two gamepad and I am a linux user too.

So, I started to learn write a game. It is name Racing Killer. it is a shooting game.

My two sons love it more. they play it everyday.

I was decide to post it to internet. I found pyweek

pyweek#6 is my first challenge about computer skill.

I join it and post Racing Killer in there.

But it was broke the rule( because the game isn't write this week.), so I write a new game, it name SeaWar.
