Day 1 + warmup

 

 

Considering the theme, I decided to go platformer style.

Here’s a brief overview of the things I’ve done so far:

• A world, in a 720×480 viewport (canvas html5).
• Movement physics
• Item system : collide, use, pickup, drop, ..
• Weather (parallax)
• Clouds /background (parallax)
• Mood/atmosphere color
• Pause menu
• Sprites & Animation

Maps consist of 3-5 files:

• Weather, repeating image
• Clouds/bg, also repeated
• Data image, transparent with different colored pixels on it, placeholders for objects/walls
• Graphic, the actuall map graphic
• Json file: Taglines, mechanisms, mobs (?)

Next up:

• Mob enities, but, alone? Didn’t figure it out yet.
• Mechanisms
• Levels
• Music
• Sounds
• More sprites.
