iPhone Project: The In-Game Plan

[WarHampster]

I wouldn't even bother with sprite collision, just check if there is a line with no obstacles between the player and the target, and if there is then damage the target.

[Gan]

Yeah, probably what I'll do. Now we should probably stop discussing this because we're getting too far ahead. Making my mind kinda tangled with all these things planned. Need to finish a bunch before we can really get into how it'll be set up or else I might be caught up in planning and never quite get to implementing. Yeah... Mind feels kind of overloaded at the moment. Too many possibilities and trying to sort it all out at once.

Many internal improvements have been made, mostly prep work.

people should start making maps on paper, for when the tiles are ready

[Gan]

That would be a good idea. Not sure it'd catch on, tiles aren't too far away and some may not be interested in sketching it out on paper.

Note to self:
Recode touch input system to detect multiple touches. Allow only two touches, one for movement in the side bar and the other for attacks in game area. For buttons, make it trigger on touch end. For attacks, make it trigger on touch began.

One word: Sound.
Yes, we can now play sound and music so... I guess we can start in that category.

[WarHampster]

I've got you covered on that front

[Gan]

Awesome.


-Gan
P.S. Sure you aren't covering too many things? Graphics itself is a big deal.

[Gan]

Hey guys, check it out:
Simple RPG-Mac
Now you guys can play it. (There are a few kinks, but overall it isn't that bad)

I can't use this application with this version of OSX.

[Silverwind]

Really cool Gan. Thinking of making a whole game in C?

[Gan]

I can't use this application with this version of OSX.

I don't appear to be able to compile for versions below 10.4. Also I need to change code to make it 10.5 and 10.4 compatible.

Possibly though this is just me converting the Simple RPG to mac so I can test memory management and squash bugs easier.

I can't use this application with this version of OSX.

So it only runs on 10.6?

[Gan]

Unsure, I've only tested it on 10.6. What OS do you have Swamp?
