Game Panel Mockup
by Raygoe on July 15, 2010, 2:05 am CDT
I've completed a Game Panel mockup so you can see what what's going on in an overview format. You can see it by logging in and then clicking "Game" in the menu! The two maps are obviously not dynamic and the ship it puts as yours is really ugly, but its a start! I'll start working on the interactive galaxy map (the first link in the Quick Links area) tomorrow.

If you find any bugs, please post on the forums!
Thanks!

Drawable Update 3

Drawable Update 3

And now, this is it! I have fixed the Pixel Shader in the Drawable class. It now renders the star backdrop much better. At this point, the only thing left to do is make sure I have methods of positioning the drawable dynamically. After that, I can create the player objects and finally get this thing moving.

Spread the good news: The Drawable Class works! Thanks for all of your support over these past few weeks while I've been battling this object. I hope the Viewport class won't pose as many problems!

Thanks!

Drawable Update 2

As it turns out, it looks like the Rectangle object had to be brushed and attached to the Canvas before it would let the BitmapImage return the event "ImageOpened." Which is, of course, very bizarre. Regardless, it now works.

At this point, the only thing left to do is fix the pixel shader. At the moment, it is, obviously, skewing the result of the image. I have, currently, no idea why. I will continue keeping you all in touch.

Thanks!

Drawable Update 1

This is the first update in this series. Like I said, I will keep you all informed. After a few hours of work, I have decided to completely remove the Drawable class and restart from scratch.

As you can see right now, the drawable class is now sort of working. I will get it back to full functionality over the course of these updates.

Thanks,
Eric

We're back up. Sorry about that. It won't go down again.

I'll try to work on Ant from 9am to 11pm tomorrow to get caught up to the deadline of 39 days.
