dodge and destroy 07/05/2011 at 22:54

Forgot to post this. I finished shortly after my previous entry updating the code to Dodge and Destroy. Holy crap was that fun too! No longer are there possible fragmentation issues, or other memory issues that existed in my first implementation of the game. After rewriting the code I was just amazed how much better my C++ is compared to last year. The code I wrote for it is much faster, much better encapsulated, and much more understandable, readable, better for maintenance etc, just a million times better then it used to be, and I’m pretty proud of it. So much fun I’m thinking about adding on new features to it, and I will be posting up the source code for download on the project page for it soon. I also feel like rewriting this project really boosted my C++ skills, as I learned a few new tricks here and there while rewriting it.

Update on the Android stuff. Basically I found out the emulator is incredibly slow, which sucks because I can’t afford a device :(. However I did learn a lot about the API and started programming up a nice framework of classes in order to produce 2D Android games. Currently have a scene manager implemented and just need to add in menu functionality to my code base. The Android API is really nice and flexible, makes programming for it a lot of fun. I really wish I had a device though but oh well maybe in time.

Anyway thats about it for now. Still looking for a job, and currently just messing around with Dodge and Destroy, because it is just fun as hell! Really miss playing SC2 :(, hopefully shortly however we will be able to get a decent internet connection in our area so I can actually play some games again. In the meantime been playing some oldschool games like the origonal Grand Theft Auto, and having a blast. They sure don’t make games as difficult anymore :s. Also been playing some Brood War just against the computer to work on some mechanics, and hopefully fix my hotkey setup so when I get to play SC2 again I will have a much better setup, and better mechanics overall. Peeaaccee!
