Day 5 of Senior Project

 Work Day 5

    Yet again, I continue my wonderous video game. Today I spent my time fixing textures. For some reason, unbeknownst to me unity is causing colors to sort of bleed in the tilesets. Some textures are just slightly disfigured. It's unnoticeable in the individual tile, but when you put them together on the map you can see the repeating slightly different colors. 




    As you can see in the above images the textures have been fixed. The first image is an older one where you can see the lines across the floor tiles. The second you can see the lines are gone. I also added the stones beneath the coffin.
    I would like to note that the process of fixing the textures was quite annoying and tedious. I had to edit the image file, then delete the tiles from the pallet, re-add them as the fixed version, then paint the correct versions onto the map again.

Hours Today: 1 hour 30 minutes

Hours Total: 16 hours 50 minutes

Day Two Senior Project

Image
      Today I started off with getting collision working for the player character, walls, and NPCs. This required me to create a blocking object and creature object layer. Here is the code used to create a collision effect. This is in the same class as the code shown in my last post, the Player_Movement class.     I also made it so that the camera will follow the character around while leaving a small amount of leeway. This required the creation of a new class, the Camera_Motor class. I also spent some time adding to my assets library as well as clipping sprites from tilesets into 16x16 pieces. Overall I spent 4 hours and 10 minutes working today. Below is a gif demonstrating collision and the camera movement.

Day 12 Senior Project

 (This somehow got saved as a draft instead of posted last night as intended.) Work Day 12 May 22nd, 2023 - I see you have returned dear reader to intake the knowledge of how my senior project is going. Today I spent a decent amount of time working, mostly trying to get everything straightened out with the game. After being unable so far to find a solution to the NullReference error I decided to take a different approach and attempt to use an animation-based system, similar to what I created the player stats menu with. Rather than having the text appear above the character's head, I would create a panel with the text already there and merely move it into FOV using animation. This plan took a bit of work to code and I ended up running into another problem, despite every indication that my call to the trigger for the animation should be working, it is not. I intend to meet with Spencer when he returns tomorrow to attempt to find a solution to this.       The other things I've don

First Day of Senior Project (Creating a Video Game)

Image
      For my Senior Project, I am creating a video gaming using Unity. This is the first time I have ever attempted something of the sort. The game will be a top-down 2D RPG of sorts. I intend the premise to be that you play as a farrier of souls who must help the souls of the dead escape the In-Between by completing small quests for them, while this goes on you must avoid the evil spirits which are trying to kill you.     I spent the majority of today building an assets library. This is a group of 2D artworks I will use to create the setting and characters of the game. Below is the asset I selected to be the Player Character.      Today I also began coding movement for the character, I have yet to reach the stage of creating collision, but the character can successfully move in all directions. For those interested below is a screenshot of the code thus far, controlling the character's movement along with the notes in green.        I have been following along slowly with a Unity Yo
