I haven’t said this till now but: I’m in. Sight. Again. Started like five times already, never finished anything.<\/p>\n

For anyone who really cares: Python 3.2, Pygame, Paint.NET, maybe something for the music later<\/p>\n

Now for the interesting part:<\/p>\n

Even though I never finished anything before, this time around I have gotten pretty far. I dislike the theme, but I had a good idea, so I am have my destination already set.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to spoil too much, but it involves an open(automatic chunkloading:check), a procedurally generated world(Perlin Noise and terrain generator: check), knights(check) and castles (no check \":(\"\u00a0\u00a0 ) I am really proud of what I achieved today even though I was still sleeping the first six hours (LD starts at 2:00am here) and a request for help (Stepfather: can u pls help me for an hour. pls? 3.5 hours later….) kind of took longer than expected.<\/p>\n

WORK DONE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0I have implemented a working rendering engine and a working collision detection, which stoped me from finishing the first three or so times<\/li>\n
  2. I have written a generator that gives me new chunks on demand.<\/li>\n
  3. I have pixeled the most important things in a “good-enaugh” kind of fashion, so I don’t have to worry about that for now<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    WHAT I LEARNED UP UNTILL NOW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Generating a 4400*4400 Perlin Noise array is not a good idea with an unoptimised algorythm in an interpreted language \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n
    2. Pygame.Rects don’t like to be deepcopy()ed<\/li>\n
    3. Pygame.Surfaces don’t like to be deepcopy()ed<\/li>\n
    4. Pygame does not like copy.deepcopy()<\/li>\n
    5. PYGAME DOES NOT LIKE COPY.DEEPCOPY()<\/strong><\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

      TODO:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. <\/strong> Remove all remaining lines containing deepcopy that stop me from getting a showable resul<\/li>\n
      2. Enemys<\/li>\n
      3. Weapons<\/li>\n
      4. Fog(shouldn’t be more than half an hour)<\/li>\n
      5. Types<\/li>\n
      6. Castles<\/li>\n
      7. Special Abilities<\/li>\n
      8. Soundeffects and maybe some music. Might fool around with the Chuck Programming Language again (Procedual Sounds and whatnot), but if time is short, I will use some other tools. Probably the one everyone is using to generate soundeffects<\/li>\n
      9. Become insane becaus Hotline Miami OST is playing on repeat<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

        Should better go back to work now, procastination way too much time making this post \ud83d\ude09<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2013 7:58 pm","title":"What I learned today or \u201cPygame does not like to be deepcopy()ed\u201d"}
