I went through the purring maggot process from animal trap capture to storing the milk in barrels in a food stockpile. Of course, the issue with this has been dwarves just up and eating the maggot at any point in the process. I changed it so that they would only eat purring maggots if they were starving and nothing else were close by. I tested the change by having the starving dwarves stand in a meeting zone with the food up in a stockpile to the north. In between the stockpile and the dwarves, a succulent purring maggot tempted from an animal trap. They performed well, passing up the maggot for other food. At the end, there were seven dwarves, five pieces of food, and the maggot. I made them starve again -- five dwarves ate regular food, the doctor ate the purring maggot, and the fisherdwarf ran downstairs, caught a live cave spider and ate it on the spot.

    Amidst all the praise for Valve's marketing for Portal 2 there has been very little mention of the person I suspect strongly of being behind most of the hidden message concept. I realise that Valve has a strong tradition of shared creativity and responsibility and on one level it is unfair to single anyone out, but consider the following sequence of events:

    1. Independent developer starts releasing messages to his fans using a mix of obscure encoding schemes which decrypt to text, images, programs and other codes.
    2. The independent developer is hired by Valve.
    3. Some time later, Valve starts a marketing campaign by releasing messages to their fans using a mix of obscure encoding schemes which decrypt to text, images, programs and other codes.

    That independent developer is, of course, Adam Foster.

    OK... Ive been awake since yesterday morning and I basically havent left my chair. Its now 8.30pm and Im too tired to continue playtesting, it will just have to go in as is... Its without a help screen and without scoreboard but everything else seems good. I reworked the display routine and had to do a lot of optimising for the AI because it was slooooow. It still kind of is - in the later levels there is lag nearly every turn, its only partly from AStar I think - thats blitzing fast now.

    Ive updated my download site so now on to post my success, and then GO TO BED. I hope it doenst have any severe bugs left, but I think its good.

    Ill probably do a bit more balancing and bug squashing post challenge to put the finish on, but this was definately a sucess. Hopefully a showstopper.

    The end comes near… I’ve started cutting unneeded scope. For some minutes today, I thought I had lost control of the project and the scope was too big again… but I regained hope some minutes later, it can be done!

    I'm going to start this quick post off by saying that cmake doesn't have the worst documentation ever. I'd generally award that honor to the C# swig documentation. However, the documentation for cmake leaves much to be desired. Throughout my work, I've found most of my help with Google and other peoples submitted scripts. I'm going to try not to be cynical and assume that this is due to them ]]>     http://www.elderlore.com/en/planet-roguelike/bringing-cmake-to-libtcod-why-use-the-source-luke-doesnt-mean-you-can-skip-documentation.htm/feed 0     Mindmaps for game design http://www.elderlore.com/en/planet-roguelike/mindmaps-for-game-design.htm http://www.elderlore.com/en/planet-roguelike/mindmaps-for-game-design.htm#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:05:00 +0000 David O'Toole tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178385365606981531.post-9214792094277235428

    I got it so that your character moves around when you press the movement keys. That seemed like good progress. Now it is time for the main part of my game - the maze.

    Everything about programming the maze is math. Sure it is just 2D math. But you got to get the details right. I got some rooms being randomly drawn. However they are all clustered in the upper left hand corner of the screen. And they always overlap.

    I think I just need to tweak some values being passed into my random number generator. Then I need to code the rules that throw out a random room if it overlaps another. Then I will be off to the races to connect the rooms. Will I be done? No. But I will have achieved my goal - which is the MazeBand.
