Hello and first of all a happy new year 2021!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's been only a little while since I last worked on my latest game. I took the
|
||
|
|
time between Christmas and New Year to dive again into the depths of code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Following the rough roadmap I have in my head I am trying to get the game to
|
||
|
|
become finally interactive, but being a platformer, this has some prerequisites
|
||
|
|
on basic physics and collision detection and collision handling. So I prepared
|
||
|
|
again a lot of reusable plumbing, implemented all the necessary functions
|
||
|
|
and tied it all together nicely to play along with the already existing parts
|
||
|
|
of the game. Here is a small video of the result:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<video controls="true">
|
||
|
|
<source src="/vids/2021-01-02.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
|
||
|
|
</video>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Again, it does not look like much, but I am very happy about this result.
|
||
|
|
Although I will surely have to tweak the collision reaction more, but it is a
|
||
|
|
good start, so I believe.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next up will be handling of input events including, but not lmited to, keyboard
|
||
|
|
key presses to control the player. After that I will hopefully be ready to fill
|
||
|
|
the game with actual content.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As always, you may check out the code of the game and its progress
|
||
|
|
[in its repository][repo]. I try to leave as many helpful comments and
|
||
|
|
documentation as possible while programming, but if anything is unclear, you
|
||
|
|
need further explanation or just want to talk about the game or any other
|
||
|
|
interesting topic, do not hesitate to contact me [via email][email] or any
|
||
|
|
other means listed [on my contact page][contact].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So much for this update. I hope I will be able to continue to work on this game
|
||
|
|
shortly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Until then, keep calm and wash hands.
