Hokay, I’m ready to call an end to day 1, since I’m tired and can no longer concentrate on work.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I have so far:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A generic game agent class with reasonable movement that can move toward a goal heading<\/li>\n
  2. The beginnings of an object factory that can currently manufacture player characters and wall segments. Wall segments are automatically fitted according to given neighbor pieces.<\/li>\n
  3. A large part of a world generator, though it is completely untested. This is the part that I am least sure about. The logic is there, but I’m still a little nervous.<\/li>\n
  4. Most of the sprites for the player character<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    Here is what I still need:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Full set of sprites for wall pieces<\/li>\n
    2. Last few player sprites<\/li>\n
    3. Sprites for baddies, items, and props<\/li>\n
    4. Full world generator (This will be the hardest part, I think)<\/li>\n
    5. Doors<\/li>\n
    6. AI with A* pathfinding (Ugh, I think this’ll be a tough one, probably do it once I’ve got worlds being generated)<\/li>\n
    7. World area serialization\/deserealization<\/li>\n
    8. Full player class with stamina<\/li>\n
    9. Start screen<\/li>\n
    10. Cut-scenes<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

      I think, though, that I can pull it off. I think I can…<\/p>\n

      Here’s hoping…<\/p>\n
