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 #41 - Game

    More progress has been made, and I feel like a million bucks because of this game.     1) Tech Tree Restructuring: I have switched my 1D list to a 2D list so that I can store all of the data about the branches and their different techs in each era. I have made it so that you can smart scroll through eras and through each tech category. Once researching the first tech, settlement, you can then get access to all other tech categories (Military, religious, education, industrial, etc), and each tech in that tree for each era. At the bottom, you can press a button to increase or decrease the era that you want to view. However, you can only increase up to a certain point, either the max of era 3 or the furthest era that branch goes to. This makes the tech tree feel a lot more advanced and less crowded.     2) Auction House: I have now got the viewing system working for all of the cards in the auction house, as well as the system to reassign who it is that is ...

      Today, I spent 10 hours working on the ability for a user to select a card, then a tile, the hit the card again in order to use it if it is tile specific. However, this idea sucks, and I don't like. Tomorrow I am going to go back and change the entire system. Instead you are going to drag the card to where you want it to go, then release it on the tile you want the effect to take place. This will then apply the effect to that tile. This way it is one click and not 3, and is also more interactive for the users. Furthermore, I wont have to convey to the user that certain cards are tile based, and some are not.     I also rewrote the terrain hex map generator script. I made the script completely modular, meaning that in the editor you can create an object to spawn on the terrain just by clicking a plus. You then plop in the model, the name, the description, the spawning frequencies, and the tiles that it can spawn on. Then for each tile that is generated it c...

DevBlog #5 - Game

      Hello, found out a solution to the problem that I was having yesterday. I have discovered the fabled perlin worms. We will use them by starting them off on high terrain values, and going to low terrain values changing every tile it touches into water tiles. This will create the effect of rivers.     Easy money!     Thats all for now, bye!
