DevBlog #11 - Game

     I realized that Scriptable Objects are not quite the solution to everything, and that they have limitations. For example they can not store Game Objects or anything like that, additionally, they can not contain anything pertaining to mono behavior like features (functions, etc). So in order for my beloveds to be used properly, I created a script that merges and manages the scriptable objects interactions with the rest of the world by attaching the script to a game object, and by attaching the scriptable object to the script. This way I call pull and call things from the scriptable object from the game, and from other scripts in the game. This created an even more powerful framework that before.

    Next thing I worked on was going around and changing all of the scriptable objects code to work within these recently realized limitations. After that I created 7 or so new scripts and tried to get the research system working. I got it working at one point, but now have no idea why it is no longer working.

    I also go the turn, era, and player script connections setup too.

    I pushed everything to github and that was that.

    Thanks for reading this short update, I will have more later.

    On other notes, 2 of my game developer partners are working on a fintech app, and have asked me if I want to help them on it. Naturally I said yes, so this blog will no longer be called Table Top Games. Instead it will be called Coopers DevBlog. This is where I will document everything that I have and will continue to learn throughout my life, sharing it with those who find me likable and somewhat enjoyable.

    Alright, thanks, see you soon!

DevBlog #4 - Fintech Platform

Progress Update (Life): 1) Just a quick update, nailed my forensics test (Monday) with a 93%. 2) Nailed my Calc exam (Applications of Derivatives: 92%, Function Analysis: 82%) 3) I have my AP Macroeconomics tomorrow with AP Psych right after that. 4) Next week I have finals for AP Mirco, AP Calc, AP Psych, AP Computer Science A, Forensics, and Langauge Arts. 5) What this means is that progress updates are going to be taking place at irregular intervals until everything settles, so sorry in advance. Progress Updates (Fintech Platform): 1) I have the connection to MongoDB established and have data being added to the DB from the signup forms. Data is taken from the forms, encrypted, and then sent to the database for storage. At the moment only the password is encrypted but I might change that. This means that I can begin moving to the next thing. At least once I fix a small little bug. Currently, it goes to a test DB and not the DB for this current project. I am going to have to figure ou...

DevBlog #23 - Game

      Today, a lot of cool things happened that have a drastic effect on the game and its systems. You can now add several effects to a single card. Each effect has their own duration, amount, type, requirements, etc. All one incredible system. This required me to rewrite a bunch of the cardEffectController script but was worth it. I now also have cities seeing and recognizing their effects and the buildings effects on them too. In addition to this, I also added the population growth system and the population feeding system. This allows the cities to grow and prosper.     I have added some more cards, and have been adding in all of the effects that the cards have on the world.      Pretty neat stuff.      I am going away to camp for 3 weeks so I don't know if I will be able to post or even work on it, but I will do my best to keep you updated on the game and on any changes as they come.     Thank you so much, bye...

DevBlog #19 - Game

      Today, I made a huge amount of visual progress. However this visual progress was easy to implement, so very little back end progress, as I had built it in a way to easily implement this new feature.     I have made building possible. I have also made all of the buildings and their effects happen in the game. It is response, and works very well in the MVP demo. However, I am going to change how it looks from a system where you drop the card and then your done, to a system pops up and allows you to build it. This system will show you a green, transparent, ghost game object for you to place, then once it has been placed it will turn int the real thing. You will also be able to drag and drop from the UI bar at the bottom the buildings that you an construct from the card you have chosen. This will look really intuitive and pretty, but will be simple and easy to implement.     This is a pretty big day as now I can actually do things on the...
