New Chatbox Game Patch Discussion
« on: July 30, 2013, 12:48:38 PM »
The new chatbox game has gotten kinda serious since the last patch. I stayed awake deep in the night to make the epic graphics optimization code. It proved successful, huge amounts of blocks can be drawn with hardly any CPU.

So there's some things I need to address in the upcoming patch.

• Movement Prediction - Smooth movement so it doesn't lag between updates
• Add Red
• Native Websocket Compilation - Figure out if that'll fix some network lag
• Add minimap in top left corner, 120x80 pixels
• Separate Block Game client code into multiple files for organization
• Experiment with adding a mini jump to allow smooth ascending of stairs
• Foreground and background layers. Background is parallax.

Not all of these may be addressed in the next patch. I give priority to performance over features.

Cool artwork:

OK so Red is in, what else is done? Any reason it's not running?

We could add background blocks to go with the foreground ones

Power went out. Server went down. All the drawings disappeared.

Could you get rid of the infinite lines it starts with? I liked having a blank slate.

Re: New Chatbox Game Suggestion!

Suggestionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Why don't we set it up so that there's one invincible block at the spawn point just in case?

Also perhaps disallow drawing over players so they don't get stuck as much. Only problem is you could troll someone with it by blocking their drawing.

I just made it work off the super fast render tiles.
Render tiles are an amazing optimization in 2D games.

I'd probably go ahead and add background tiles but right now I'm working hard on SpaceCraft.

Awesome. Can't wait to see it.

Do you still need help to make graphics? •-•

There's not a huge need right now but it would be nice if some of the interface stuff looked snazzier.

Think you can be free Wednesday from 7pm-9pm central standard time? That's when we group into teams at GDC. You could join us via Skype and Teamviewer to see what we have and if you wanted to help with graphics you could decide what you wanna do.
