DevBlog #22 - Game

     Today was a big day. I got a lot of things working, in a shockingly small amount of time. alright, here they are:

    1) I now have the collision system working for the cities. This means that I can now store which tiles are under the control of  a city, and which tiles are not. I then use this information to help with the placement of cards, buildings, units, etc. As you can tell, this is a pretty big deal. I then add the city to a list of the player's city so that it can be stored, and then used to manage the effects each turn for the buildings.

    2) I am now updating the rotation of the cards to be the same rotation of the player. This does not sound like a big deal, but it is. Now the cards will be aligned with the player making playing them and picking them up easier, prettier, and more convenient.

    3) I have fixed the building system. Now, the system takes into account weather or not the building requires a city to be placed or not. This now means that buildings can be attached to cities, and have their effects be applied to that city. This also means for buildings that don't require cities, their effects will be applied globally, and not just to a single city. Cool, right?!

    4) I fixed the card system. Now if the card requires a city, the card will only be activated and played if the card is played on a tile that is part of that player's city. This means that their effects can be localized. This also means that I can begin the process of having more specialized effects taking place inside of the cities. For example, there is a card that will give you food for each plains tile in your city, now I can do that. I still have to work on the system for applying effects based on what objects are touching the tiles, but I am slowly getting there.

    5) I have begun the creation of the building effect system. I now get the data of the passed building and if it is apart of a settlement, I apply all of the necessary effects to that settlement. Also if the building effects the global game, I also apply any of those changes and effects to the game too.

    6) I have also began the system for object production. I have created a scriptable object that will contain all of the data about the object, and will store the produced objects inside of the city. This is cool, as these objects will be used to create military units when the time comes. All of it is starting to come together now. YAY!

    All in all a big chunk of progress was made on the game today.

    Thanks for reading, bye!

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...
