Senior Project Day 6

 I am back with another day of progress! Just a warning for everyone, this whole week is gonna be pretty repetitive, so I will try my best to make you understand! Today was spent fixing the issue I had found yesterday and continuing on with the command. Of course, with one issue fixed, more come into view. But overall, nothing abnormal or different to my plan! I've been having a lot of fun problem solving and learning about how things work in Mix it Up, so I hope I can continue to be on track! I still haven't fully figured out the loot loop situation, but I started working on different things and will go back to it later. Today I started at 8am and went to 4pm or 8 hours t



oday and 61 hours total!

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.
