finally.. :P
After almost 5 months of working our ass (asses?) out, together with the MyMathVenturesHS group, we had our final thesis presentation. Lots of things and details on our mini games have changed, from the logic, to the design, to the features of the games. Read the rest of this entry »
RRL++
We have to play Wii. We have to see some similarities among the games with regards to the manipulation of the game area, and the controls. We have to see if there is some sort of standard that we have to incorporate with the games we are designing.
However, we do not have the console. It is also difficult to download an emulator. Some sites which offer one require a Core 2 Duo processor and a 2 GB of RAM. Other sites argue that there is no such thing as Wii emulator, even for Windows. So I think, we have to borrow from someone, instead… Or rent? Also, working in the lab, some sites are forbidden so that even videos of persons playing with Wii cannot be viewed. We can something about this one, though. One of us has internet access at home so he can watch the videos himself and share with us what they contain. Or we can just visit an internet café.
On Reusable Classes
Reusable classes are useful in such a way that they lessen the development time. They are also more dependable because bugs and flaws may be revealed in the initial use, which are then fixed, thus reducing the number of failures the next time they are reused (Sommerville, 2004).
searching for frameworks
The demo has had me looking for various game frameworks we could possibly base our project on. There’s jMonkeyEngine, the Lightweight Java Game Library, JOGRE, and a few smaller ones. The problem is that none of these are designed specifically for JavaFX and it would take too much time and effort for us to modify them appropriately. It appears then we would need design our own xml formats. Thankfully JavaFX seems to have its own xml parser so we won’t need to worry about that part.
RRL + first draft
Dr. Caro asked us to do a research on the possible related literature that we can use for our study. He required us to do ten, at the least. For two weeks, I searched for literatures that are related to our study. I was fortunate to have searched ten, but the problem is, what do I do with them? for (i=1,i<=10,i++){Read. Summarize. Comment.}. I am not good with this stuff, but I was able to manage somehow. Read the rest of this entry »
