Senior Project Day 10

 Hello! I have another blog post for you all! Today was spent making the "Dungeon Entrance Message" Action Group. This is the 2nd half of the programming piece, because without this, all you will see is a lot of numbers and messages that fly by the chat super quickly with to rhyme or reason. This command is the story that people will go through every time they join a raid in the game. I like making things harder for myself so I decided to make a bunch of conditionals inside of this action group, and have another random number generator to decide which version of the dungeon would be sent. Because the conditionals make it so only one type of dungeon can be picked at a time, I can technically add limitless different dungeons that all boil down to a dungeon boss, making every experience a bit different then the previous one! The hardest part about doing this is the typing, because for every different type of dungeon that I do, I need to write an entirely new scenario. I definitely did a lot more writing than I normally do, but I feel it was definitely worth it! I did this from 8am-2pm making my total hours 83!

Senior Project Day 4!

 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 Day 11

 Hello I am back with my final blog post! Today I spent the day on the opposite loot loop called the "Take Loot Loop". This is used when people lose the boss fight, because there needs to be a punishment for dying! This loop will take a heart from each player, and then do math to figure out what their new amount of health is, if the health is 0, than it takes away half of their gold and all their weapons. Then it will finally give them 3 health as a "respawn" mechanism and move onto the next person. This process was much easier than the first loot loop that I did, now that I know how to make one and how it works. It still was a lot of work trying to figure out how to actually find out how much health or gold the different players have as the amounts won't update until the command is over. So I had to actually write everyone's health and gold values in a text document for each person, and do math in Mix It Up to figure out what their new values should be at.
