#434 - News Dance |
Weekly Newsletter; News Dance#434 - Thursday 26th September, 2019groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Listening to a curious, endless, loud, mechanical banging noise coming from down the street. ; Hello WorldI took this week off from AGameAWeek. Coding 4 games a week was going well, but slowly each game took a little bit more time, and eventually things overspilled to the point where I couldn't quite manage to get my first game of the week coded in time for release day. Instead, I'm only going to have coded 3 games, this week. Damn. Although I did code an extra bonus game in case I can't quite finish off the last few bits of the Pool game in time for Saturday. The AI on the Pool game is .. .. Well, it's shit, if I'm honest. There's something wrong with my angles and although the computer player seems to know "roughly" where it's aiming, it can never quite manage to pot the ball unless it's a really piss easy shot. Bah, humbug. Today I need to work on the actual Rules of the game, so it isn't just an endless game of watching the AI attempt to pot the balls without ever getting to have a go yourself. Hopefully that won't be too hard. ... Right!?! Hmmm..
