Revised Plans



The uploaded image is the proposed final document template. I have uploaded the template to the share (in the Programming Documentation folder), unfortunately it is only compatible with Word 2007 (it uses all the shiny new stuff).
For our first class of the new term Dhiren and I have revised the tasks schedule (the new version of Milestone2_Tasks.xls is on the share in the Programming Documentation folder), and discussed future plans. We have also talked Tim into doing some graphics work for our in-game interface (the HUD) and clarified how much time remains before Milestone 2 & the Final Presentation.
Included in the new tasks schedule is a list of some potential documentation to be created. The list is divided into Game Design Documentation (GDD) and Technical Design Documentation (TDD). The new task schedule acknowledges completed work (multiplayer implementation - dedicated server functionality only), removes various unnecessary tasks, and formally adds documentation as a task for all members.
Finally in regards to my own first task of the base code I have been a bit uncertain on how to start as I do not recall if we defined the object that would be used as the base and the method the base will use to carry out it's functions (i.e. use a trigger object - though problems arise with drawing a trigger dynamically around a randomly positioned base). As such I would greatly appreciate being able to talk to the full programming team at the next Project class, if not before.
