O hai everyone!<\/p>\n

2\/3 of the time had passed. As usual, i’m not at 2\/3 completion according to my initial thoughts, but that could be foreseen. \":)\"<\/p>\n

I kinda switch between coding and drawing when i’m bored of doing one, so they both sort of going together. So far:<\/p>\n

– I got dynamic planet shadows, according to their position and distance to sun etc.<\/p>\n

– Png based map editing, didn’t really pay attention to this, cuz i won’t be doing so many different solar systems.<\/p>\n

– Planet based \u00a0gravity things. (was hard to configure, so i will try to perfect it if i find the time.)<\/p>\n

– And a solid idea how to turn this into a game.<\/p>\n

– A nice space background with blinking stars. \":)\"<\/p>\n

Here’s the ss of my progress ’till now:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After this i’m gonna implement:<\/p>\n

– an orbiting system for moons and the usual planets soon to be added.<\/p>\n

– a fuel(based on core temperature of the earth. :P) dynamic. Movement(and some secret \":)\" cool actions) will be based on that. not to mention that you can charge that by coming near to sun(beware it’s gravitational force btw.).<\/p>\n

– as i mentioned moons; our goal will probably be collecting( or even destroying by throwing them into sun? ) other planets’ moons.<\/p>\n

– and a GUI of course, with some stroy telling. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Then it comes to polishing, issues are basicly these:<\/p>\n

– particles, particles, particles. as Napo… sorry Notch says.<\/p>\n

– Gravitational Auras, so you will be aware what you are approaching to. \":)\" < Kinda Angry Birds Space ripoff. ><\/p>\n

– Probably asteroids, comets and such independent bodies, that you can crash into.<\/p>\n

We’ll see how much i will be able to put into my game in last 12 hours.<\/p>\n

Peace out ’till my next update. Good luck!<\/p>","time":"April 22nd, 2012 6:26 am","title":"brace yourselves, deadline approaches\u2026"}
