Those two words are known by everyone, however, who can think about formulas without googling ? lol. Only a few people ^^
So after a look on wiki, I got my functions ready:
Then, I thought: "How am I supposed to make shit move?"
It's simple, put a constant acceleration, and then control maximum velocity !
Sounds easy, but a lot of work ^_^
However, these functions are messed up:
- Sprite goes right, ok
- Sprite wants to go left (xa < 0, but xv still > 0)
- So new xv will have (newxa * dt) + positivexv.
This means, our sprite will decelerate (not bad indeed). But this looks more like a slide effect
So I didn't coded a good moving engine, I just figured out how "Mickael Jackson : The Experience"'s moonwalk engine has been coded
"Debugging a handwritten C++ non-crashing but non-working-as-you-would-like code is as hard as understanding a woman, even if you have sex with her"
For now, I'm only focusing on the client, so I'll talk exclusively about it for a long time ^_^
To make it short:
Language: C++0x
Graphics: SDL
Detailled structure of the program:
The program is running 2 threads, the main that handles keyboard/mouse events. The second is only for rendering.
I've thought to display everything using layers, and widgets. So I can fool around the GUI, and even for my sprites using simple functions (I somehow copied the functioning of a web display)
Web display:
Now this is how it works in the game:
This said, how does the main look ?
That's enough for tonight. Will post more later ^_^
