DevBlog #44 - Game

     I'm back. I took a bit of a hiatus from the project as I had to do a whole bunch of pre-finals for my classes. But I am back and working on the game. Down below will be what I worked on.

    1) Syncing Building Data: I tried working on the system that will send out your building data, and sync it on the network. That way other players can interact with you, and you can interact with them. This is a very important feature as other players will need to be able to discern what tiles are under control by which nations. Additionally, I use them for easily setting up player to player interactions by allowing a player to click on a tile and it be traced back to owner, save that owner reference, and then interact with them (war, trade, peace, etc). I belive it works, but it will need to be testing in multiplayer.

    2) Auction House Functionality: I have started the process of making the system for card viewing. it currently works fin in multiplayer, and will need to be tested and retrofitted for multiplayer. Additionally, I will need to add in the ability to actually purchase cards and do other things like sorting and price calculations.

    Sorry for the short update, my time has been pretty consumed and will likely continue to be consumed as I study for my upcoming ap tests. Although I will do my best to keep working on this. Bye!

    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!
