I have everything except the game!
Well, after 2 days of work (and time will be limited until next Saturday) I have everything except the game. I do have :
- An animated menu
- Text drawing
- An introduction (aka 5 pages of explaination as to why the game fits the theme)
- A high score table that works (and you can edit the names)
- A credits page.
- A texure manager
- A sound manager
- A main loop that really works
- A headache
Yes, it's called PIG Pilot. That is of course in reference to the 'Pipeline Inspection Gauge' which is used to clear out pipes, not pork.
Add commenterk. I meant "streamed" in the above, not "streamlined" (although even after this, that sentence still doesn't read right to me). Apologies.
I've checked that actual output and the rotated e's are there (they're not an artifact) and I think I know what's wrong but I can't be bothered to fix it yet. It will go on the 'I'll do it if I have time' list.
As to the wording, I meant that they colony planets were sponsered by counties and in general only people from a specific culture would live there (e.g. there would be a 'German' planet where only those who lived in Germany or whose family came from Germany in the past N generation got an automatic right to live). Again a more careful reading will be on the 'I'll do it if I have time' list.
Looking good - text rendering can be a real pain, as can functional main loops and menus in non turn-based games. Anyway, a few points:
- Some of the letters (e.g. the second 'e' in 'ushered') appear to be slightly rotated. Bug or just an error in the screenshot?
- I can't quite figure out what you mean by "and that colony planets were culturally streamlined". There's a grammar error in there somewhere (I apologise, I am a bit of a grammar nazi!)
You're a step or two ahead of me, anyway, so I should stop picking holes in other people's entries and get on with my own ;)
(I've finished some text rendering code with a lovely retro bitmap font, but have no functional menu yet.)
