Final Major Project Day by Day Journal
12th April 2012
Today I read through the brief of the Final Major Project and
I also started filling out the proposal form for the Final Major Project.
14th April 2012
Today I am continuing with the proposal form and looking
into research for my Visual Diary, I have also started on some rough sketches
for my game.
18th April 2012
Today I have finished the proposal form and handed it in for
reviewing. I have also continued my research for my visual dairy; I have completed
my rough sketches of characters for my game.
24th April 2012
Today I have started to scan my sketches onto the computer;
my proposal form was approved letting me continue with the game. I also
continued with my research.
26th April 2012
Today I started drawing over my sketches on the computer and
I also planned out how I am going to structure my game. I finished my research
for now but I might come back to it and continue.
2nd May 2012
Today I finished drawing over my sketches on the computer; I
also drew a rough background and road on the computer. I started placing it all
together roughly.
3rd May 2012
Today I finished structuring my game on the computer; I also
started on the coding for my game.
9th May 2012
Today I continued with coding, but I hit a couple of
problems with getting the background and road to scroll on a continuous loop.
11th May 2012
Today I continued with coding, I have managed to solve the
scrolling problem and now I just need to tweak the settings so that it runs smoothly.
I have started on the coding for the bike.
16th May 2012
Today I have finished all of the basic coding on my game. I
am starting to plan the detailed extras to add to the game. I am also trying to
solve how to code random oncoming traffic.
18th May 2012
Today I have finished planning on what detailed extras I am
going to have in my game, I have decided to add some sort of meter counter
within my game similar to the one that they use in temple run and also some
sort of radio which will switch between classic driving songs.
23rd May 2012
Today I have managed to get a working meter counter into my
game and I have also solved how to have random oncoming traffic in my game
along with oncoming oil spills.
25th May 2012
Today I have planned out how I am going to structure my
visual dairy and I am also going to continue with some research.
1st June 2012
Today I have decided to remove the oil spill and add another
car but moving much faster. I have also started on my final title screen but I still
need to code it.
6th June 2012
Today I have roughly finished the title screen and have
began on my ending screen; I also encountered a few minor coding errors.
8th June 2012
Today I have fixed the minor errors and also finished the
ending screen. I started making a simple health bar that I still need to code.
13th June 2012
Today I finished the title screen and the ending screens
coding along with the coding for the health bar but there was a problem with
getting the frames to switch when needed.
14th June 2012
Today I solved the frame switching issue and I also went
over the whole project a few times to make sure that everything works. I put a
few sounds into my game to make the experience much better. I also continued
with my visual dairy.
18th June 2012
Today I finished my visual dairy and I am trying to upload a
few game testing videos to my blog along with reviews and making sure that I have
everything ready for the deadline.
