DevBlog #36 - Game

     A lot of cool and important updates to go over today, so strap in and listen up.

    1) Card Selection and Placement System: I have now created a system that will allow the player to select cards and play them on the board. It is connected to the notification system and provides visual feedback. The visual side is as follows: Click a card to select and it gets 15% bigger, click again to deselect and it goes back to being the same size, click another card while a card is already selected and the previous goes back to normal and the new one gets bigger. I also linked it to the notification system so it will tell the player when they placed a card correctly, and will tell them what is wrong if they play it in the wrong spot.

    2) Build Placement System: Similar to the cards but for buildings. Grabs the data from the card and creates a building panel with a list of slots populated with the building data from that card. Then the same sizing and selecting functions from the card selection system are applied to make it more visually appealing, along with being connected to the notification system. The way building is done is like Civ 6 or Polytopia, with one building per tile, and the center In the middle. I will create a ray cast system, to get the height, and then place it directly in the middle, and on the surface.

    3) Build Panel and Slots: :) Accident cover up above

    4) UI Design and Updates: I redesigned the UI in Miro and have come up with some simpler and cleaner ways of presenting the information about the game to the player. I will provide photos later once everything has been polished.

    5) Data Management: I worked on how card, building, tech, and other data types are stored and read by the system. It is now a little better (not efficient/clean, but functional).

    Alright, that is all, thank you for listening, good 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...
