We're so close we can all taste it. We've gotten the AI to spawn now, but are still having trouble with the coins sadly. We're hoping it shouldn't be too hard to fix, we have gotten multiple AI to spawn by now after all and it shouldn't be too different from the coins. We've smoothed out all the kinks with the AI functions. Although the coins can't spawn yet, I've coded everything else so we're ready when they do. Our timer is working. Our score keeper is working. All of the main menu panel buttons link to the correct panels and the game scene. I've coded the panels for the proper end game conditions. Everything should be ready to go if we can figure out this bug. We have ran into a couple issues when pulling git commits. We've had to merge conflicts almost constantly. For some odd reason a lot of pulls have resulted in our main game scene having cameras that won't render anything. It's been a little frustrating and we've had to redo work a couple times, but we're pushing our way through it. We've come so far and we have so little left to do. 

Ryan is working on any lasting bugs. Zijian is working on AI movement and behavior. I'm working solely on the coin generation problem. Next time we'll have a full game to report on.

Until Next Time,
Avery

Week 6: Balancing Projects

Balancing Projects This week has been interesting for our team. We not only have the team project to work on, but we also have an individual project due date coming up. It's been a struggle balancing our work load and focus between these two projects, but we've been making some small steps in progress. We figured out how to move our player through the game world and we're making progress on the main menu. We have solidified the maze generation. Zijian is even working on a loading screen that the player will see while the maze is being generated.  However, we have ran into new problems. For instance, our player can move, but now our player keeps falling through the floor. The only solution we have found so far seems to make it so our player can't move at all. While we're struggling with this we are also running into problems with git. Friends, do as I say not as I do. Do not break the golden rule of Git Hub!  Make small commits often. We have pushing commi...

Week 7 Update

On That Beta Grind Nose to the grindstone thanks to https://image.shutterstock.com/image-vector/nose-grindstone-retro-clipart-illustration-260nw-115711369.jpg Well everyone, we are one week away from our Beta Demo and it's time to get our nose to the grindstone. We won't be making this demo VR compatible just yet as we feel that might be a little too ambitious, but we aim to get most of the components of our game incorporated. Our maze is already built and our main menu is built, although it is not linked to the game scene as of yet. As of now all we need to focus on is the main player mostly. Zijian will be working on spawning the main player into the maze. Ryan will be working on the movement and view of the main player. For now we will be working on the movement and look functions using the mouse and keyboard, but in our next sprint we will be converting these functions to the VR headset and controller. Before we do any of this however, we need to make sure our player...
