More on the game


I wish I didn't need to concentrate more on the animation module and wiritng the literature review so much so I could work more on the game...


The plan is that the arrows adjust the direction of the for ever scrolling game (each chamber is a level)
The attack button can be clicked to punch objects out of Kareems way
The up arrow allows Kareem to jump

Latest




Coding went well today and the newest version of the game is under way.








The buttons are temporary just to see positioning and adjusting player actions
  The final game shall have left and right buttons on the left and a jump and punch button on the right



Done a final test on all the browsers since I updated the os to jellybean 4.1

Chrome = runs as smooth as can be and loads fine
Firefox = jerky: only playable if you stick with itwhich isn't one bit positive
Default android browser = takes a while to boot up and is jerkier than Firefox also cuts bit of screen off
Dolphin browser = loads quickly, but isn't playable - very jerky
Opera - Loads fine, plays smooth and offers 10 -20px more screen than chrome due to it's url bar


The game scrolls and the player can jump and fall - custome physics are yet to be coded to work with velocities rather than just a for loop via the y coordinate so that he actually falls but i'm getting there....


I will produce a vidcap of the game soon

Development week 11/12


This weeks progress with the game has been stunted as I have came down with a cold which has slowed me down - that's one thing that a team of more than 1 person doesn't have to deal with. I plan to have the first set of features playable in the game before the 31st of December on the tablet. I have nearly completed my first draft of my literature review now which can be refined and added to the interim report when I get feedback on it.








Game world moves at a constant direction (since physics doesn't run well on the tablet browsers) Player can choose to change the direction and Jump.
