Lives and gameover system in place

Its not very flashy but their is a life system in place (3 lives) and after that the game ends. It is setup to allow for a "game over" screen but that will be added later along with other little details. The next huge step (I need to do) is blocks.....

Awwww the first screen

Its the first screenshot of our first game....not much. As of right now, the dude (paddle) can move left and right. This doesn't seem like much and it really isnt. But I coded it differently than I usally do so thats what took so long. Now that setup is done I might finish the game tonight!

...ill stop soon

Ok stuff we need to do...

Alright heres what we need to get an up and running game. I gots me some lots of works to do as I programmer (wtf happen to that sentence). However, there is also some work for the art team :) (see Blake).

For Art Team:

Main Character Sheets:

These images need to be on a nice evenly spaced sprite sheet(s) with the our pretty special pink color (255,0,255) in the background. Size (of idv sprite) idk yet so


  • Standing

  • stoppedLeft, stoppedRight

  • startingLeft, startingRight

  • MovingLeft, MovingRight

  • JumpingUP, JumpingLeft, JumpingRight

  • haltingLeft, haltingRight - slowin to a stop

  • hitting left (maybe 2 of these), hittingRight (same)

  • falling back right, falling back left

  • dying

  • getting item?(if so left and right)

Backdrops:


  • Main background image (sky,stars,whatever)

  • Then shit between background and foreground like...

  • ...clouds, montains, castles, whatever makes you happy but....

  • ...make the rest of image special pink (255,0,255)

  • Size for both needs to be double screen width (dont know yet we/you need to decide)

  • double screen width?? yes or basically have it so that if I scrolled the end of the image looks like the start

Blocks



  • same sizeish as main character sprite

  • no need for pink cause it should fill image (its a square)

  • just one type right now

  • later we will need a sheet with the pink and all the types laid out on the sheet.

Text



  • Special font

  • Make the entire ABCs in special format (using a style that fits the game u know)

  • use as sheet in game and...

  • copy and past to make titles (like game over)

  • This area of graphics I am not so sure it can or will be used for everything but it will be used

I know there is even more stuff but this should get us going and then some.


Programming stuff....next post!


Note:please add, change, piss on, or whatever to this list. Its a living breathing list. ALL I ASK is that you MARK changes...some how. thax!
