Character (Day 14)

Well, with another big old chunk of coding done, here's another breakdown of my week

Wednesday

After making my last post I went home, and begun work on building in save and load functionality into the level editor, this would allow for data to be shared between the editor and the game engine proper.

Thursday

In the morning I managed to get the game engine working with the .cat files generated by the editor. Cue dynamically created world from external files.

In the afternoon I did some of the groundwork needed to get a character into the world

Friday

My sole achievement on Friday was to get the character to fall, and to land on a branch. Sadly I had to go to work, so couldn't do much to expand upon this.

Saturday

Added running to the characters abilities, he can now run down a flight of stairs. A couple of issues involved here in collision detection, but they were overcome

Sunday

Had an accidental day off, played Zelda and watched Deadwood, a good day, but no games were made

Monday

Begun work on the jumping mechanics for the game, lots of bugs, but I'm getting there

Tuesday

Lots of bug fixing, and added sticky tree sap in the morning, decided to go shopping in Cardiff in the afternoon, bought The Day Today on DVD, got home and enjoyed the fine work of Chris Morris and Armando Iannuci

Wednesday

More bug fixing, and added wind to the engine, which prevents players from falling to their doom

cheers for reading, and here are some pics of the game as it stands (please note that the game graphics are placeholder, and in no way represent the final appearance of the game, they are really simple to keep programming easy).
