Today i finished the structure of my game for the next few classes I will just be adding obstacles new backgrounds and enemy's. Im also going to add new power ups to the stages

I worked on my platformer some more today I finished another level and added invisible blocks just to make things harder

My game started lagging again for no reason after I fixed it last time so I googled why this was happening and it was because there was to many objects so I found a fix for this here so I spent most of my day trying to fix the lag I also got most of a room done

My game started lagging very hard to a point were it was unplayable soI just made the room smaller and it stopped lagging. I also finished another room and I added enemeys

Today I changed the code for my player movement and made it from 30 lines of bad code into 15 lines of not bad code. Im now working on the rooms (levels for my game) and I have added power ups

I have made all of my player sprites and have animated them I am almost done with player movement but I had a problem because I was getting a error and I couldnt find I what it was but it was something very small I was just missing a ; at the end of the code

I finished my game and I am going to start a new one from scratch not following a youtube video and reading forums.I will make a short video of the girl on I finished.

My player was glitching out when he jumped because I forgot to center the sprite. I also changed the appearance of the sprite and im going to add different levels so it will be a parquore game.

I got all the movements down last class for the platformer so today I started watching this video and I gave the game gravity to make it alot better tomorrow I am going to make the background and the tiles for it

I started watching videos on how to make an rpg and I made the basic player movement for the rpg and this is what I got so far LINK1 LINK2

I finished my game I changed the background again because it kept glitching I made a video of the game and I will upload it tomorrow because it takes to long to upload today I am going to start an rpg game tomorrow

I fixed my game it is now running very well I changed the background tiles from grass to metal. I fixed the zombies because they would get stuck when they spawned I just made the bushes smaller so that the zombies wouldnt mass spawn on them then glitch out next class I want to change the bushes for buildings or cars and then I will be done the game

Day 4

Today I replaced zombies with sword men then It gave me an error and I couldnt open my game so tomorrow I will post screen shots and edit it THIS IS FOR JUSTIN //draw the tree draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,xstart+xoff/6.5,ystart+yoff/6.5,0.625,0.625,a ,image_blend,0.9) draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,xstart+xoff/2.5,ystart+yoff/2.5,0.490,0.490,a2,image_blend,0.8) draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,xstart+xoff/1.5,ystart+yoff/1.5,0.325,0.325,a3,image_blend,0.7)

Day 3

Today I worked on my game some more I added a spot light over my player and fixed the health bar so the game stopped when you had no health bar.Tomorrow I want to fix the zombies and fix my bullet animations

Day 2

I am about half way done my game maker game I need to add buildings trees and health bar I also need to fizz zombie movements

Day 1

Just started his zombie game and he was having troubles with getting his sprite to move in the direction he wanted so I helped him with that and I am pretty sure he has full player movement now. I also started my zombie game and it should be done within a few days.

Day 11

Today I watched this video that showed me some more basic gm coding I also looked on some forums to learn more about it... and gm coding is very simple since I already know c++ so next class I will be trying to put what I learned today into making a game.

Day 10

Today I watch this video and I made a basic topdown shooter but the video involved alot of coding to do player movement and I was not really sure how to do it because it is different from c++ so I went onto the next video and it teaches me the basics of coding in game maker witch should not be hard because I did c++ already

Day 9

Today I watched this video it showed me how to do all kinds of movements with my sprite so next class I want to make a top down shooter but it will be very basic and after that I want to start watching the platformer tutorials

Day 8

Today I started game maker again so I re watched the videos I watched before so I could remember everything and I watched This video justin showed me I still dont really like game maker but I guess now that I know a bit more its getting better.

Day 7

Today I learned about MANs and WANs Short for Metropolitan Area Network a data network designed for a town or city. MANs are larger than local-area networks LANs but smaller than wide-area networks WANs. WANs are connected networks of areas larger than 30 miles it is usually multiple MANs that are connected.

Day 6

Today I watched some videos on computer networking and watched this video but I already knew what LAN was it is just a local area network its usually common in house networks and even in schools its good to use LAN in schools and homes because you can for example access the printer from any part of the school or easily share information quickly over the same server

Day 5

Well I watched another video on game maker and it is getting really boring and it is something that I dont want to do so I want to learn about computer networking and I start watching these videos LINK

Day 4

Today I re watched all the videos that I watched before so I could make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. I also started watching a video on computer networking because I find that interesting and decided to watch a video on it and I think once I am done game maker I will move on to computer networking.

Day 3

Today I watched another video that shows me how to use sprites, backgrounds, objects and rooms. I learned how to make a moving background and made a very simple game more like a title screen actually but its a start.

Day 2

So I finally got started with game maker and I started watching a video that just shows me what all the buttons do and I also watched this video that shows me basic movements.

Day 1

After downloading app maker I decided that I wasnt really going to like doing it so I just downloaded game making instead and watched the starting of a video on how to use it. It seems hard to learn but once you know it should be really easy

Day 9

Well the programs that I downloaded on the last day were not working so I uninstalled them and I will reinstall them next class so I can get started with add developer.

Day 8

Today I looked over java again but I am going to do app developer for sure now so I downloaded everything I need to get started so when we get back from spring break I will be good to go.

Day 7

Today I researched on what I should do, Justin and I were going to learn java so we could make a modded client at the end of the year but, I think I am just going to do app developer but im not completely sure.

Day 6

I have finished my game finally and I am going to start a different language I am not sure if I am going to do java or another language I will do some research and I will decide what I am doing next class here is the code for my game.LINK Here are links to SOME screen shots 1 2

Day 5

Today I worked more on my game I am not yet complete I will most likley be done by the end of this week. I also learned how to add a random number generator into my game and I will be using that for a puzzle later I will post screen shots once the game is more completed

Day 4

Today I got had an error in my code and I could not find it but it was a simple ; I was missing but I didnt get quite alot done...I did not finish my game because I decided I was going to make it longer so it is going to take longer to make.

Day 3

Today I started making a funny/horror text game I worked on it for most of the class and I learned how to used time intervals so that when I want to display a line of code then another line I can make it wait before it places the second line.I will probably be done my game tomorrow.THIS IS SO I CAN WORK AT HOME

Day 2

Today I did another program from http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/12974/ I did While( user == gullible ) Here are some pictures of the finished program I got stuck on it but chris helped me. Its not letting me take screen shots so I will take them when I get home. .

Day 1

Today I went over loops again I just want to make sure I know how to use them without any problems because they are used in so many things I am going to go to back to code academy and do some more lessons there before I try to make more programs because I want to make sure I make less errors and dont spend all of my time trying to fix them.

Day 12

Today I learned how to use switch statments as a replacement for if/else statments. Switch basically takes a variable and tests its value against all of the other values.I tried remaking the Cola machine program while using switch statments but I didn't finish. Here is the site were I am getting all of my exercises from.

Day 11

Today I made a program that gives you 5 options of drinks and you choose your favourite one for most of the things I made there was instructions for most of it but I made this from scratch here is a PICTURE of it. I also finished downloading windows visual a new compiler for c++ and I like it alot more it makes things alot easier for people just learning c++

Day 11

Before today I was using codeblocks as my c++ compiler and then chris showed me how much better windows visual studios is so I started downloading that. I also looked for something I could do while downloading that and I think I want to do computer networking after I am done with c++

Day 10

Today I learned about "The Dark side of the internet" and I watched multiple videos on how to use the if/else statment in c++ Here is an example of an if statement. If I asked the program is 5 was greater than 3 It would said no so I would have to say if 5 is greater than 3 print yes or else print no.

Day 9

Today I made a program were you enter peoples ages and you can find the average age of all the people you entered for example you could get everyone in this rooms age enter it and get the average here is a screen shot of it Age 20+40+30 is equal to 90 and there are 3 numbers and if you divide 90 by 3 you get 30 witch is what I got from the program

Day 8

Today I learned how to use loops for example I made a program that adds 5 different numbers using loops Here is the pastebin for it

Day 7

Today I watched some more tutorials and I learned how to use if/else statments I made a very basic program were you type in your age and it says something different for different age groups here is a link to that program just copy and paste it into a compiler and change your age here (In the code) int age = 101; .Pastebin

Day 6

Today it didnt do very much except for go threw some tutorials I learned how to use variables with classes and set values for everything. I also watched the video on what constructors are but I dont quite understand it yet so I am going to go threw it more tomorrow. Here are the videos I watched today and went threw. first second

Day 5

Today I learned how to use classes, Classes are used to separate data into groups "Classes" Here is a simple Calculator I found it find the area of a rectangle using classes and ojbects http://pastebin.com/G4L9Fvyz for rect.set_values (3,4); you replace the numbers for the numbers you want to have the first number is width the second number is height

DAY 4

Today I learned how to make variables using variable I made a simple calculator and it worked the first time I tried. Here is the code for it if you would like to try just copy it into a compiler and compile it and you have a basic calculator #include using namespace std; int main() { int a; int b; int sum; cout << "Enter a number! \n"; cin >> a; cout << "Enter another number \n"; cin >> b; sum = a + b; cout << "the sum of those numbers is " << sum << endl; return 0; }

DAY3

I got everything setup so from now on I should be able to work without any problems I didnt have much time to work to today but I learned how to make the code print simple text on the screen and ask you questions. EX.How old are you? then you can reply back. I have switched from code academy to youtube videos because I find I learn better from watching videos rather than reading the video I was watching is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0--4jheodFk This guy does alot of videos on coding and I plan to finish his whole series on c++

Day 2

I did not get much done today because I was getting an error when trying to open the program for c++.I have decided to switch to C++ from java because after doing some research having C++ is a must for coding games and that is what I wanted to do although java can be used for coding games the kind of games that I would like to code require c++.Tomorrow hopefully the program will be running so I can get started

DAY 1

Today my friend asked me to help him code his gamer server it is very basic java scripting we are trying to add an economy to the server and we are almost done with that. I finished 15 lessons for code academy I am doing java scripting I learned that you have to be exact with your code or you will get an error also I learned that you can literally control everything the way you want it. in the next couple of classes I want to do a couple more lessons and finish the economy for the game server I will post picture results when it is done.
