Stick Territory Alpha Alpha 1 has been released. It is not a full game yet, but you can move around. Any suggestions can be posted below. I already know about the segmentation fault if you Click Next whilst on the last player. Also, the Done button doesn't do anything yet, as I haven't done anything for it to lead to. You might enjoy watching them walking, and you might enjoy a preview of what the finished game will look like. Go to members.allegro.cc/JamesStanley/Software/stickterritory.html to download it. |

There should be a new release this weekend. I'm working on collision detection at the moment, so you shouldn't be able to walk through walls in the next one. I don't remember whether there was a map engine in AA1, but there is in the next one, and there is a brick, a coffin, and two walls for testing of the collision and map engine.

Development has stopped and Stick Territory may never be finished! This is due to some problems with the collision detection that I don't know how to fix.

Good news! I have removed all of the old collision code and I have started again. Hopefully it'll work this time, I'll get back into the project and we'll finish it! w00t!

Bounding box collision is being tested... Stanley's just "improved it all and optimised it" (his words exactly)...
So will it work ?
EDIT: It works !!!!!!! (But it could be better, but movement physics is hard so.....)

Oh, shut up. Stop twisting my quotes!
Yes, Bounding box collision phase 1 is better than it was last time. Unfortunately, phase 2 hasn't been implemented yet, so we'll see what happens later on...
Also, Max (Stick) wants me to say Monkeys By Death (reverse the order) but I won't do it! I won't!

I have just improved the bounding box stuff again, some stuff was - when it should be +. Oooops... I have optimised it as well. WARNING: Coder speek below!
At lunch today I had made the code calculate the position of the bounding box for each angle of the arm, I have optimised it so that it only needs to be calculated once but still checked twice.

Meh... I haven't got round to writing the overlap() function yet, so it can't be tested. I'll do that tomorrow.

No it doesn't. They still walk through coffins.
Good night.

My collision detection doesn't work so I did a bit of Googling and found out that I have been going about the rectangle overlap() function wrong. I have been checking all the ways they could overlap. Whereas I should have just checked the four ways they couldn't overlap. I am going to do that now and I shall report back as to it's wrokingness.

Still didn't work. I am perplexed as collision works on all the players except the current one. Player two falls and lands on the coffin, player 1 falls and goes through the coffin. I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later, but it has beaten me for now.

Meanwhile, back on-topic...
Alpha Alpha 2 seems to be nearing release-worthy-ness. Collision detection is 50% done. They can walk on the box left and right and they can land on the box (3/6), they can not walk into the box left or right or jump from on the box (the other 3). This should be fixed soon. Then it is just a case of cleaning up the code and making the map engine more efficient and then Alpha Alpha 2 is ready.

Collision is now 64% done. I have made them jump off the box. They still jump around randomly when they walk into the box, however.
