I’ve decided that I’d like to declare my codebase beforehand even though I’m entering the jam and not the compo.<\/p>\n
First of all, I’m using a Rect class that I made for another project. It just implements collision detection and (very simple) collision response as well as a bunch of handy properties. I made it to use with Panda3D, but it works fine with any system where positive Y points up. (Or in the case of 3D, whichever axis you intend to use as the Y axis for the Rects)<\/p>\n
I’ve put it on Pastebin as public domain, and anyone who would like a copy can pick it up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also, I’m going to use a dirt-simple agent class that implements movement and has a collision box attached to it. It’s really simple, and I don’t want to code it yet again.<\/p>\n I will also be recycling a bunch of terrain classes that can place themselves on grids, can be placed in (single-tier) groups, and can construct collision boxes for themselves and place those on their global coordinates. I might possibly recycle some game world structure as well, which would be a base game world and very simple room structures.<\/p>\n I will not be reusing any old artwork, though, or any sounds. Just some boilerplate.<\/p>\n Anyone who wants to get the code that I’m using can find it in the Subversion repository for the project. (You can find a link on the game’s project page here<\/a>)<\/p>\n (Don’t mind the project name \/ UNIX name mismatch, I’m renaming it but Sourceforge’s UNIX name changing is temporarily off-line for some backend work)<\/p>","time":"August 18th, 2010 1:15 pm","title":"Declaring my Codebase"}
