Amazon Systems: Catch-up

http://amazonsystems.blogspot.com/2013/04/catch-up.html

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Thursday, 4 April 2013. What time I've spent on the project since November has been spent on Povray, which doesn't lend itself to blogging. But Christmas, another issue of Mythaxis, and a bit of home improvement took priority at various times. We now have a couple of animated junks, an advance on Rock design, and a cave.

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Sunday, 4 November 2012. Composite Sprites (contd.). Oh, and I might well have persevered with composite sprites had I not encountered the SAVE / RESTORE implications. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Monday, 12 November 2012. Ignore this entry - I'm talking to myself. How to dispense rockets one by one only. Caves Probably start again with new .pov file. Candle Illumination - cave dark without candle or with candle in inventory. Mirror the junkani pictures for speed.

Amazon Systems: Problems with Conditions that Affect Multiple Sprites

http://amazonsystems.blogspot.com/2015/02/problems-with-conditions-that-affect.html

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Monday, 9 February 2015. Problems with Conditions that Affect Multiple Sprites. The particular case is when the rocket launcher already has a rocket in it, and the user tries to put a second rocket in the launcher. Later: The state of background sound off is not preserved over a Save Restore. Later still: A new test version of Jade is available via the link in the left hand column.

Amazon Systems: Another Aide-Memoire Post

http://amazonsystems.blogspot.com/2015/04/another-aide-memoire-post.html

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Monday, 13 April 2015. Now Spring is here, I find any free time gets gobbled up by gardening, repairs, golf and other chores. The trouble is that, though programming progresses steadily, images take lots of time. Stationary - no sails, Animated - raise sails - May be the same view from junkhie. Moving off - May be the same animation varied only by size. Seen from sea level. A few oddments for the interior/deck of junk. To understand and pa...

Amazon Systems: Multiple Sprite Interaction

http://amazonsystems.blogspot.com/2015/02/multiple-sprite-interaction.html

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Saturday, 14 February 2015. Found, and solved, a number of problems associated with swapping a pair of sprites as a result of interaction with a third. It was all to do with the sequence in which events took place, and was surprisingly complex. Now, it looks like a piece of cake, but it took me a whole day and some rearrangement of basic code to accomplish. Still, a nice challenge. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Timing of the Loop.

Amazon Systems: New Uploads

http://amazonsystems.blogspot.com/2015/04/new-uploads.html

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Monday, 6 April 2015. I've uploaded the latest versions of the game (jade.apk) and the Java source (jade.zip) to the code repository for the project. Let me have any feedback on the game you care to send me. Some of the style of the Java code is, I confess, rather untidy. It's been through quite a number of different generations of compilers and build engines since its first origination in 1993, and I'm tidying it up as I go along.

Amazon Systems: At the End of Another Long Gap

http://amazonsystems.blogspot.com/2015/01/at-end-of-another-long-gap.html

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Wednesday, 21 January 2015. At the End of Another Long Gap. Since my last post - more than a year ago - matters have been largely stationary, due to an extended project with no connection to this, but which tied me up, with barely the time to do my Mythaxis business.

Amazon Systems: Furniture Sprites

http://amazonsystems.blogspot.com/2015/02/furniture-sprites.html

Documenting and sharing this Myst-like Adventure creation system. Monday, 9 February 2015. Started implementing Furniture sprites, discovering, incidentally, that if a sprite's image cannot be found, Jade crashes. Must fix that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
