Progress Report

Work on the programming side of the MiniTanks project continues to progress as we near Milestone 2.
Code for the bases is now ready to be implemented in the main version of the game thanks to Matt's hard work.
The team selection GUI has been refined further and now offers the functionality we desire for the end product.
Interim models have been successfully implemented in one build and mysteriously failed in another copy of the same build. Due to time constraints we do not have time to investigate the cause of the failure and as such we will use the successful build as the main version adding elements from other builds to it. The final models continue to cause great pain due to their complexity.
Documentation is moving forward with in depth Technical Documentation of the Random Terrain system being completed and some very small progress on the Game Design Documentation.

As of next week we will formally be stopping all code work to focus solely on documentation and the presentation. It is our intent to use the milestone 2 presentation as a practice run for the final presentation and as such the time between Milestone 2 and the Final Presentation will be used to refine or revise what we present at Milestone 2.

Gui Character Select Gui

I have got the start of the character Select gui, so when you click on start game the new gui (Character Select Gui) displays which will have the model selection, weapon mounted on the tank selection and the server button.

Cheers for some of the help Brett!!

It will then go to the StartMissionGui .......

Will update you more on the gui next week.

Programming Work

Today we worked on the Menu system, Teams Implementation, Tank Models, Save System, and the Documentation.
Teams implementation was completed today with two teams available at a present.
The Tank Models are complete and only need to be exported successfully, unfortunately it is proving to be difficult due to the complexity of the models.
The database was setup to hold the required information for the Save System.
Documentation of the project is progressing with significant work being done on the Technical Design Documentation.

GUI update

This weekend with the GUI so far this is what it looks like...It's only a draft so obviously the final look will be different.

I still need to include the minitanks logo i have will do that tomorow in class. Also get more screenshots of the game and the tank models when they're all done to get a better background for the gui.

gui

Hopefully by tuesday ill have the gui draft done.

I just need to get a hold of the mini-tank logo and a picture of the tank or maybe a screenshot of game during gameplay.

GUI

I have made a document just drafting the GUI layout. It's only a draft for the demo we are creating. It will have three splash screens, first one will be the West Coast Tafe logo, the second will display the Torgue Game Engine Advanced logo and the last will be the menu which has the Mini-Tanks heading with a picture of a tank and the buttons which will allow you to start the game, join multiplayer, go into options, have a read about mini-tanks and also a quit game button.
