April 2011 challenge: “Nine Times”
Bunker - What was I thinking!
Posted by telecoda on 2011/04/05 19:29
Having only paritally completed a pygame game over the space of about 18 months in my space time I throw myself into a comp to write a game in a week.
Full time job, 4 kids and a busy week. Progress has been slow so far but I'm not going down without a fight.
Coding on the train without wifi access is testing my coding skills without the crutch of the internet.
But today I think I've turned the corner and got into my stride.
Took a while to think of a concrete idea for the theme but I think I have something achievable for now.
Parked the idea of doing my own graphics just for sheer time available (and I love drawing!)
Well thats all for the diary cos I gotta code.

17:48 - Redrew main guy; noticed a bug when hitting the bottom of blocks
19:03 - Fixed aforementioned bug :-D
19:34 - Just finished showing off my really cool first level test to my family...W00t!

Oh, and ignore the guy in the corner, he shouldn't be there :P

The game concept has been worked out. The skeleton code is in place. We have a logo. Now it's time to start seriously coding and creating the art for the game.
House Caldwell - Wow -- I actually have an image on the screen!

Game engine is almost finish, only some function needed to be done like scoring system, life display and other in-game info. We already have 5 backgrounds for 5 different levels which leaves us nine more. 9 Ships are already done. We will try to concentrate now on game levels, triggers, sound and the most important, the game menu. I think I will call it a day cause tomorrow we have classes.

Lines of code so far: 653
What I've done:
Problem: I have a mid-term coming up in 7 hours, and I have not been to class or read the book since the last test. Also I worked through the night so I will be in sleepy-and-not-motivated mode all day while studying and test-taking. Bleh.
Overview of what my TODO list looks like right now:

What I've done:
- 7:27pm: fixed the sub-pixel access issue with glTranslatef. thanks richard!
- 12:13am: created animation assets for the main character
- 1:05am: implement animation support in the game logic
- 3:27am: smooth camera movement - follows the character at a damped acceleration curve
- 6:50am: created level 1 in map editor with some unimplemented game ideas and tiles

Overview of what my TODO list looks like right now:
- try to not fail college
- implement in game logic all the stuff I just pretended would work when I made level 1
- make another level with even more new ideas and then implement them. repeat until satisfied.
- sound effects
- bg music
- HUD
- menu system / title screen
- death / game over
- test on windows and mac

Finally I've got an idea for a game. I don't know it is possible to make this or maybe not, but I will try.

tblob - Gotten a lot done, working now on varied and detailed enemies
Posted by hidas on 2011/04/05 13:50
What's a gun without something to shoot? That question is why I've decided to devote the rest of the challenge to putting as many enemies as possible into the game, including some bosses.
There will still be some platforming bits, though, unless I can get more than the 1 enemy I have right now.

Got a baddie shooting particles and wiggling around the place instead of err teleporting by the tile size!
