RE: [Isugamedev-midworld] Gameplay Design

[Brown J. L <Bro...@Jo...>]

Chad and everyone, I have a question regarding people that can be in the
gamedev club.  Are non Iowa State students allowed/encouraged to
participate?

RE: [Isugamedev-midworld] Iteration 2

[Brown J. L <Bro...@Jo...>]

If they come every week milestone isn't exactly a good word for it ;) but I
agree that having weekly goals for the development process is a great
strategy.  And then we could have development and Ben could run them and he
could always be 20 minutes late to them and then Chad would have to run them
because Ben wasn't there.  (inside joke about juggler meetings)  Anwyay, I
like that idea, just le tme know when my deadlines are.

RE: [Isugamedev-midworld] Iteration 2

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

I was thinking of iteration 2 just being the next logical step towards 
completion. Perhaps milestone 2 would have been a better choice of words. 
I don't think we should necessarily have the game completed by the end of 
this phase. Rather, I would suggest some of the following goals:

* Model loading (OpenSG support?)
* Some models to load ...
* Basic AI framework
* Input completed (needs that inputSym library to be written/released)
* Basic UI (HUD for health, weapons, etc) implemented (with phui?)
   - Depends on the input completion
* Simple bounds collision detection integrated

The tasks above focus on two things:
1. Making the game prettier ;)
2. Improving immersion (through interaction)

Perhaps we should shoot for milestone completion at a rate of one 
milestone a week? Then we could set up our milestones based on that.

Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] Gameplay Design

[Chad A. <ae...@ae...>]

We could really use a game designer!  Unfortunately, the club is 95%
programmers.  Have you read what we have so far on the midworld page? 
(http://isugamedev.sf.net/midworld/)  Do you know how to use CVS?  Do you have a
SourceForge account?  (http://sf.net/)

I think a good starting point is looking at the design we have so far and
fleshing it out.  (Of course, we need to make sure the implementation is caught
up to the design...)

Send another message to the list if you have more questions.

Thanks,
Chad

RE: [Isugamedev-midworld] Iteration 2

[Brown J. L <Bro...@Jo...>]

I think that we should set iteration #2's completion date for the 29th of
June.  And I would like to have the AI system completed by then, it will of
course need tweeking based on game play but that comes in the testing phase.

Is iteration 2 the last iteration before we start testing - or do you
recomend that we have an iteration 3 then testing phase.

[Isugamedev-midworld] Iteration 2

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

Now that the first iteration is nearly complete (missing bullets and those 
terribly tough randomly moving enemy cubes), we need to start thinking 
about our goals for the second iteration.

Since we're adding new people to the project (our group has now grown to 
about 7 or 8), I think we may want to start figuring out where the 
boundaries of our subsystems lie so we can easily work without stepping on 
each other's toes too much.

Additionally, we need new concrete tasks both for the architectural design 
(since the prototype will be done) and the gameplay (we DO eventually need 
a game not a technical demo).

Please mail the list with ideas for goals for Iteration 2.

Ahhh, that makes a lot more sense.  Thanks.  :)

RE: Fwd: [Isugamedev-midworld] VERY interested in helping!

[Brown J. L <Bro...@Jo...>]

The AI is hierarchical.  So at the lowest level in the system the units (a
unit doesn't necessarily have to be on the screen) have instincts that tell
them to shoot or walk around and communicate what they are doing up a level.
Then at level 2, the units can interpret what all children are doing and
give them orders.  So in their logic it might say if 1 guy is getting shot
at send all children to his location, and then communicate what I just did
up to level 3.  So in a more complex system at level 3.  There might be a
behavior that communicates down to level 2 that says send 1 guy out and
huddle everyone else up in one spot.  Then when he gets shot at send
everyone to that spot, and then in a really complex system he would
communicate that up to level 4, and a level 4 unit might be able to handle
balancing of number of units in multiple battles at once.  

Or you could apply this principle to supply lines if a game wanted that
(this is due to how we abstract out behaviors) you can really make your
units do whatever you want.

The purpose of all of that is so that every unit in the system doesn't have
to worry about everything in the system every game cycle.  He gets specific
orders and does them unless an instinct interupts then he reacts and
communicates up looking for more orders.  and so on up the ladder as far as
complex as you want to get.

Hope this helped.

I took a look at your document, and it mostly looks good to me.  The only thing
that confused me is...  what is the relationship between child and parent
nodes?  What are the parent nodes for?

Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] VERY interested in helping!

[Chad A. <ae...@ae...>]

Oh yeah...  We would also like you to sign up for the isugamedev-midworld
mailing list os you can keep tabs on what is going on.

Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] VERY interested in helping!

[Chad A. <ae...@ae...>]

Great to hear you are interested!  When you get spun up on using SourceForge,
CVS, etc., go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/isugamedev/ and click on
Midworld underneath Task Manager (farther down on the page).  If you see any
task you are interested in working on, let us know.

Welcome to Iowa State and the Gamedev Club.  :)

[Isugamedev-midworld] Gameplay Design

[Ethan B. <gam...@ma...>]

I recently heard of your project to create a game before the end of the 
summer. I am currently working on multiple game designs, and would like 
to try my hand at coming up with gameplay mechanics from some new ideas. 
I would be happy to contribute. Please e-mail me back if you would be 
intrested in having me on.

Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] VERY interested in helping!

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

Michael-

We're glad to hear you're interested in helping develop Midworld with us! 
There's a few things we need you to do before you can get started.

1. Sign up for an account at http://sourceforge.net. SourceForge hosts 
many development tools we use for free including:
    - the CVS repository (a source-code control program)
    - our Web site
    - mailing lists
    - a task manager
    - bug tracking
    - etc ...

2. Email your new SourceForge account name to ga...@ia.... One of 
the club officers will add you in as a project developer to the isugamedev 
project on SourceForge. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/isugamedev)


At this point, you'll want to learn how to use CVS if you don't already 
know how. There is a pretty decent manual at http://cvshome.org but your 
best bet is to ask questions to the isu...@li... 
mailing list.

Now you'll be ready to start doing some development work on Midworld. Note 
that we're currently writing Midworld in OpenGL. Check out the club Web 
site, http://isugamedev.sf.net, for some great OpenGL resources. It's 
actually much easier to learn than DirectX. If you get stuck here, again, 
email the isugamedev-devel mailing list.

All of the ISU Game Developer Club members are very willing (and eager) to 
help you with game (and general) development/programming. If you have ANY 
questions at any step of the way, please don't hesitate to email 
isugamedev-devel or any of the members individually (including myself).

I hope I didn't overwhelm you with everything this email. Please reply 
back to the list if you have any questions. ;)

cheers,
-----

Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] platform

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

Whatever you want ;) Currently I believe it's only been developed on 
Linux, but Chad did test it on Win32 the other day.

Personally, I would like to target Linux and Win32 and hope for IRIX 
support. (Porting to VRJuggler for the C4/6 would be awesome!)

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

I call this meeting to order. Just got back into town and am at VRAC - 
downstairs on gfxn2. Come by when you can!

If anything, we all need to work on our leadership skills. :-/ Just pipe 
up and email a time/date/whatever and everybody can say "I can(not) make 
it."

cheers,

[Chad A. <ae...@ae...>]

For the prototype, I was thinking we would just hardcode a few triangles into
the world.  This is just a prototype, so that should only take a few minutes.

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

Sounds good. Take a look at the tasklist on sf.net for the isugamedev 
project to see whose doing the Enemy unit interface. As far as I know, 
it hasn't even been considered yet. ;) So create the task and assign 
yourself as owner.

Oh yeah, I'll be here Sunday evening.
