Welcome to Penguin Pull

Wiki for the CS20 project. Gforge page here:

http://gforge.soe.ucsc.edu/gf/project/penguinpull/

Meetings: Noon Saturdays and 7pm Tuesdays in the Science & Engineering library

 

 

 

Daily Updates

 

 

To be done before 0.5

 

  • Particle system (for rocket and boat)
  • Rope 
  • Game over screen: Similar to pause screen, but game continues in background, boat falls off screen, score stops
  • Pause
  • Music
  • Volume control 
  • Center ice floes
  • Penguin and rocket powerup art,
  • Colours for title 
  • Options menu work more permanently
  • Penguin gain animation
  • Penguin loss animation: Penguin image shows at 45*, flashes briefly, then disappears, splash on water
  • Temperature gauge reset after grow/shrink 
  • Shrinking ice floe = potentially losing penguins
  • SFX: Rocket in air, rocket explodes, penguin gain, icefloe grow/shrink noises 
  • Better rocket-hitting-cloud collision detection 
  • score/penguin multiplier (partially working few strange instances of wrong increments just keep an eye out)
  • penguin positions update correctly on the icefloe

 

 

Post 0.5

 

  • Whales
  •  Seals
  • Warning message: "Too hot, get in shade!"
  • Icefloe grow/shrink effects 
  • Options and highscore load/save 
  • Credits
  • Pre-"On-Screen" collision detection 
  • Penguin-based score increment 

Arnav meeting: 

 

  • Shoot with spacebar: Shoot straight up - explodes on contact with cloud or top of screen
  • On no mouse movement for 5s, hide mouse cursor 
  • Ensure hiscore/score doesn't increment after game mode 
  • Consider refactoring code 
  • Polish 
  • Highlight cloud seeding - in credits, or extra menu option
  • Wind
  • Ocean currents 
  • Tutorial popups: Basically taken care of with the tutorial screen. Do we still wanna do this?
    "Shoot the cloud to upgrade it"
    "Your ice floe is melting!"
    "Help me!" (speech bubble)

See if you can find a way to give us more permissions. It wont let me delete or rename any pages, only create new ones and edit them.

I created a folder for mine. But now I see on the front page where it says Daily Updates. If I take mine out of the folder will it show in the daily updates section? Do I need it to show in the daily updates section?

Just edit this main page and make a link to your page

Wasn't paying attention, didn't realize this page was editable. Thanks whoever took care of that!

Malcolm, do you need to send us an invite to the imaginecup team or do we just follow the link you posted in your blog and join?

Once you've signed up, I can invite you. You might also be able to join on your own; not sure.

Send me another invite if you can, the first one took me to the homepage, where I registered, but now there's no option to join a group, only to create a new one. Not sure why since it said multiple times during the registration that I would be able to create or join a group... But there's only 4 pages on the site and none of them have a link to join, only to create. I tried creating a group called Mediocre Megagames and it just tells me the name is already taken. And the link in the e-mail still just sends me to the homepage.

I've added both of you guys to the team... I don't actually know how to link to the team page :/
http://www.imaginecup.us/teamprofile.aspx?teamid=60e9df90-01ce-4103-be9d-7f32b3f38bd0 works for me. Maybe it's on your profiles? Maybe you have to accept being on the team? I dunno.

I got in now. I guess I already had an account, I thought I had only registered on the worldwide website.
