DevBlog #35 - Game

     I have created a couple of new things and refined some other things, so here it goes.

    1) Notification System: A way for notifications to pop up and show the user what is going on in the game, making it clear how to play, and what they are doing wrong or right. It creates a notification object, that is stored in a list, that is displayed when the list has something in it. It is a simple system that enables the user to see everything. I added a little display counter to show how many notifications there are, and where the player is in the notifications (ex. 4/10). I also created a way to delete the objects, and scroll left and right through them.

    2) Card Selecting System: A way for the users to select the card, and then have the data passed through to the player and used in the game. I want to add indicators for where the card will be player (outlining the tile), and a scaling factor for the card that has been selected.

    3) Religious Effect System: A system that makes sure that the tenets and other religious features can actually happen. Since the religion is done through one-time rolls, I need to make sure that the player has not tried before. This was not a fun system and required very dumb round about logic to make it work well.

    4) Card Effect System: Now integrates with the whole system, and is setup better to handle religion and its effect on the game.

    Thats all, for now, will be back later though!

    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...

      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!
