Socoder -> What Have You Done -> What Have You Done : 16th March 2011

Ups

What did you get done this week.
  • Spike Dislike GameCenter : First Stage

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    Yeah!
    Well, the first bit did..
    Having attempted to get GameCenter's fancy leaderboards to overlay onto my game, for around about 6 hours, I eventually gave up.
    If players want a scoreboard, they can damn well flip over to the GameCenter app.
    "Apple : We think of everything, unless you expected it to work with your game!!"

    Meanwhile, badges and scoreboards are technically working.
    Now I need to build a stupid bunch of menus so the player can choose to play Normal mode, or Ranked mode.

    *sigh*
    So sick of doing menus!

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Everything else

    Why not?
    Japan put me off.
    I haven't properly coded for days.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Fonts.

    feckin' fonts, i'm so sick of doing these...
    Earlier on last week, I made a bitmap font creator that made fonts for Monkey.

    This week I'm rejigging it to make bitmap fonts that I can use for iOS.
    If SpikeDislike were done in Monkey, this bit would be easier!
    .. but then, if this were in Monkey, I wouldn't have a feckin' clue how to do ANY of the GameCenter stuff.
    ffs!!!!
    Modern Languages SUCK!!!

    How's that going?
    The program scans a folder for .ttf fonts, then builds a crapload of font images based on said fonts.
    Comes out in both a Black and White version (due to Monkey none-changeyness), in both regular and x2-hd sizes (same font, 2 sizes, normal/retina for iPhings), and in 48x48 tiles (easier in Monkey) or "The biggest character in the font" sizes. (easier in iPhing)

    If needed I'll probably do another none-fixed-width version, but for now it'll do..


    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
    Convert SpikeDislike to use the new bitmap font.
    Annoyingly CCLabelAtlas doesn't have a newline, so that'll be me needing 3x"line of text" things, instead of just 1, for every one of those swirly star things..
    ffs!!!

    I hope it can cope with all of this...

    Ups

    What did you get done this week.
  • Bought an iPad 2
  • Ported a bunch of code to iOS
  • Sculpted a disgusting baby thing

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    Not really. The iPad 2 hasn't shipped yet, and so I have no reliable way to test code on the device.

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Didn't receive an iPad 2
  • A lot of code didn't get worked on

    Why not?
    Schoolwork.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Schoolwork.

    How's that going?
    Fucking terrible, since I'm completely burn out now.

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • Schoolwork
  • Work on more code that I can't actually test on iOS yet
  • Pack my bags and go home on the 26th, where I will, hopefully, have access to my iPad.
