Senior Project Day 1!

 Woohoo! Senior Project has begun! Instead of going outside like a normal person for their senior project, I decided to stay inside all day long and program a game from an application that is definitely NOT meant for programming. Today was a lot of learning about how the application works and how I can abuse it to make a game, and also figuring out exactly what I wanted to make my game about! I used this program a bit before my project started, but did not use it for much other than simple one response commands and I am not very confident in my skills on using the application. A bit later came when I really started brainstorming what I wanted my project to be about. I decided on a RPG dungeon-crawler type game, that allowed me to have some pretty neat elements while still keeping the game pretty simplistic. I also made a google spreadsheet of the elements I wanted to see if I could add into my game! Overall, a pretty successful day! I started at 8am and worked until 4pm for a total of 8 hours today!

Senior Project Day 4!

Image
 Hello! I am back again with day 4! So I got a lot of progress done today, I started the first command that will be run by me whenever I want the game to start, and got I'd say roughly  15-20% of it completed! I used that plan that I made before and whenever I got confused on how to do something, I asked either the forums or my mentor for help! I am learning a lot more about mix it up that I thought was ever possible, and I am very excited to continue the process of the game. I am thinking of different ways to do things as I work on the game, and it is really cool to see things from a different point of view once you are actually in the thick of things. The only issue that I am having for myself is a little bit of burnout from working so long on the same thing, however I am pretty confident I can get through it cause working with mix it up and my mentor is so fun. I worked from 8am to 3pm for a total of 7 hours today and 29 hours total.

Senior Project Day 5!

 Hello! Day 5 has arrived and so does more progress on the game! I did hit a little bit of a road-block today in the project and have not figured out a solution to it yet, but besides that, things are going well! I got a lot of progress done on the programming of the game, and we are right on track to finish it before graduation! The roadblock that I hit was how I am going to be giving out the boss loot to anyone who joins the game. Giving boss loot to 1 person is fine, but I have to figure out a way to loop the sequence until everyone gets their loot. Nobody wants to kill a boss and get nothing out of it! I am surprised however that this is the first major issue so far in my project, I thought there were gonna be many more than this starting way earlier in the process. Today I worked from 8am to 4pm for a total of 8 hours today and 37 hours total!

Senior Project Weekly Reflection 2

 Hello! I have another amazing reflection for you all. This week was very good for the programming side of the game! I have completed a lot of the programming of the game, and I started working on the responses that the game will be actually posting into the chat once the timer runs out. This is the last weekly reflection I will be doing for this project which is really crazy to me. I am on track for everything in my project, and can't wait for Express Fest! I figured out most of the loot loop issue that I have been struggling with previously. I found that the reason why it wasn't changing the usernames after giving someone the loot was actually because of me. I recently got a new computer, and the file location I saved the usernames was in a different place on my new computer, Meaning that it only saw the last users username because it couldn't see any others. I fixed that problem and got the game mostly working!     I won't be fully done with the game by Express Fest,...
