Milestone 2 and the Final Presentation Dates

Tim provided the dates for Milestone 2 and the Final Presentation today.

Milestone 2 will take place on the 26th of November and the
Final Presentation will take place on the 11th of December.

This leaves 6 weeks until Milestone 2 and one week between Milestone 2 & the Final Presentation in which to finish the Project. As the Programming team has decided to spend two weeks before the Final Presentation working on documentation and the actual presentation, we will need to finish work on the actual game before the 19th of November.
In the next 5 weeks the Programming team hopes implement the following features:

• Fixed tank models
• Team selection
• Interim HUD
• Player data save system
• Tank type selection
• Bases

We also hope to create documentation covering some of the following Game Design Documentation:

• Descriptions for: Tank types their abilities, customisation & upgrade options; Upgrades options for the Tanks; Power-ups and special weapons.
• Features of the engine
• Gameplay Mechanics: Pillars; Save/Load Scheme
• Level Layouts
• User Interface

In addition we will attempt to document the Technical Design of features we have implemented so far, such as:

• Random Terrain
• Random Terrain object placement
• The Tank

Finally we want to have a task list and a Gantt chart.

As things stand we should be on target to hopefully achieve most of our goals.
