Day 8 Senior Project

 Work Day 8

    May 17th, 2023- Hello readers from far and wide. Today I have yet again continued my senior project, though unfortunately due to being sick progression was quite slow today. I spent today creating my Game Manager class. This is a piece of code that stores information relating to the game that is consistently needed such as coins, experience points, enemies killed, weapons sprites list, player sprites list, etc. I've also included in my Game Manager a piece of code that works as a saver. It will ensure that even upon changing a scene, the previously listed statistics will not reset. Here is that piece of code.

One issue I've run into is that for some reason that load state is not being triggered when I load into another scene. I ran out of time for today while looking for the problem and will return to it tomorrow.

Time Today: 1 hour 40 minutes

Time Total: 27 hours 50 minutes

Day Two Senior Project

      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 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 10 Senior Project

 Work Day 10 May 19th, 2023 - Once again, my dear audience, I come bearing an update on the progress of my senior project! I managed to meet briefly with Spencer today and he attempted to help find a solution to my error, but unfortunately, we couldn't find one. He said he would go through the code in depth later on though, so hopefully we will find a solution.     I continued with the combat system and almost entirely finished it, all that's left is to integrate Player Character death. The player can reach zero health, but currently, there are no consequences, aka death, when that happens. However, enemy movement, player damage dealing, and enemy death are also all currently integrated.          After integrating everything but character death, which is actually less combat coding related and more so just coding in a death screen UI, I began working on the animation side of combat. At this point, while I had gone through the steps to have the character deal damage to the enemy
