Battle Pong progress: Day 2

As I said I did some work today on my project. It took me a while to do something, because I was playing games, but at the end I really did something. So today those thing were done:

- The things are now displayed as they shud be. (With their functions)
- I have done the movement for all the pongs. The keys are hardcoded, I don't know if the player will be able to change them, but this doesn't matter now.
- The ball moves now. The movement works really nice.
- I have done some collision with the ball and the pongs but it doesn't work. I don't know what is the problem, I will need to experiment a bit in the following days. Here is a picture:

(I am sorry for the double desktop I didn't see that.)

Soo blog you after new year.

Back from gamming

Well. LAN party was a succes and we played Call of Duty 2 most of the time. Far Cry 2 is also a great LAN game, even if singleplayer sucks.
Here is a picture of a LAN party. ( NOT OURS ). We were only 20 people, but it is still great.

So back to work

Well. Hopefully I will start working on my project tommorow. I hope. One thing I need to say is that I misscalculated on how much time I have in this holidays. I only have 1 week left, little less. So I probably won't finnish all those extrass in these hollidays. But I will complete it.


Blog you tommorow.

LAN party

So it is time for LAN Party. It will start in a few hours and last the whole weekend. So I won't do anything on the game and I won't post anything because there we don't have internet acces. Playing games all the time.

Soo blog you on monday. Have a nice weekend.

Good wishes

This post is going to be short.

I wish you all a merry christmas. Lots of happines and good things for the next days.

Here are some nice pictures I found.




Have a nice day and blog you tommorow.

Battle Pong progress: Day 1

Well today I did somethong on the game. I whrote some functions, did some basic graphics and some more stuff. I wrote the code so it displays 2 pong ( if it is that how it is called ) and the ball, but I will delete this code because it will not work with the whole game. I just made it, soo that you can see some progress. Here is a picture of me in action. :P
I need to say this again. But making those 4 headers and 6 cpp files to work and link succesfuly I lost like 1.5 hours. I still don't really get it but it works.

I think I made the pongs a good size. The 2 on the bottom and up will be little longer because they have more space to watch.

Tommorow I probably won't do anything because it is the day before christmas and the next day also. I have enoug time later.

Blog you tommorow.

Christmas spirit

Well christmas is in 3 days ( well 2 and 1 night ) and this year we set-up the tree earlier. It looks really nice. Today I havend worked anything on pong but I did something with project Cheat homework: binary calculator. It is a simple nice console programm that will be used to calculate numbers into binary. How nice.

A picture of a nice tree.


I was found some good programmer jokes. Here are some:

How many programers dose it take to change a light bulb?
None - It’s a hardare problem

Q. How did the programmer die in the shower?
A. He read the shampoo bottle instructions: Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”
very long pause….
“Java.”

Q:	Why does God allow evil to happen?
A:	God thought He eliminated evil in one of the earlier versions.

Q:	How can I protect myself from evil?
A:	Change your password every month and don't make it a name, a common word, your phone number, or a date than can be easily associated with you, like your birth date. Blog you tommorow.

New project: Battle Pong

Finaly, I can post something about this big new project that I talk about for 2 weeks. Now finaly I started on it.

First of all the concept.
I want to make a game that can be played by 4 player. The original pong was played by 2 players. That is because, at school it is funny to play a game between the brakes with 4 players.

So today I started coding. I made a decision that I will code in multilple source files because allredy with "Slot Robber" it was sometimes hard to find a piece of code and change it because it was in 1 cpp file. And let me say this, using multiple source files is a pain in the ass. I really don't know why it has to be so complicated with headers and all. Couldn't it just be that you whrite something and then there is the cope pasted from a other file. I had the tutorial and the site the whole time open when I was doing this, because it was really hard. Well I will get used to it because projects will only get bigger.

I don't have any pictures to post because till now it is only code. So here is a "picture" drawed in paint how it will probably look like ( i think ), but I will probaly change a lot.



That is how the most basic thing that need to be done. I will probably make a menu to chose 2 or 4 players. I hope I will implement a particle engine so it will sparkle behind the ball and maybe some powerups. But that is all extras.

Tommorow I will probably post some images of things done.

The timeline in which I want to finish to complete this game.
It is 5.1.2009, that is when holidays are over and school is back. The holidays begin in 3 days so (Chrismas) so I will have over 2 weeks to finish this. That is a lot of time if I will work like I shud. So probably all those extrass will be implemented and more.
