Golf! [SG-man]

Posted by gamerman on Aug. 30, 2008, 2:06 p.m.

Well, I started a new project, Golf!. Basically I plan on having something like a 2d version of Golf?.

So far it makes a world and stuff, all procedural.

Right now, everything should be able to be changed in settings thanks to variable whoring.

The layer system is simple, it has X amount of layers, and make terrain based on them, the most complicated layer is the top layer, which has soil and sand. the level down that this goes, the level of the sand and soil in the soil layer can change. kind of hard to explain.

I plan on doing more with the layers, like colour variation in it, where it changes colour, and different effects in it.

The line is the normal of the ground, which is currently where the mouse is, so I've got that covered. I'll either need to cover multiple layers, which is easy, or make it fail if it another layer goes over the layer above it, rather then just bend down.

I also have to work on the decoration, which won't be to hard, just need to write a plant, cloud, and stone creator. I've made trees and (cartoon) clouds before, so I've go that covered, and plants won't be two hard, and bushes are just clouds.

Also, This is all in one object.

the plans are:

- one object

- as few as possible sprites, all of which are external.

- ability to change everything within reason.

- ground decoration of some sort

- vegetation, trees, plants, bushes, grass, ect.

- basic wildlife, like birds in the sky

- clouds

Edit: Got the ball working. Just need to fix the normals.

Edit: Got the golf ball mostly working, bounces right I think.

Edit: The collision seems to work fine now.

They're basically working, but needs to work better if it hits the ground from the left.
