Small steps

Today we didn't meet as a group in school, but decided to take the day off to reflect on the brainstorming and such.

So I decided to look on the control scheme we have discussed to use and see if I could implement it in the application we use, Game Maker 7.0.

Took quite I while, mostly because I'm unfamiliar with writing code like this.

But I got it to work eventually and I'll be attaching and .exe (.exe2 just take away the 2, google doesn't allow .exe to be uploaded) to show this off as well and some screenshots. EDIT Coming up later, flooded with work at the moment!

A little later I went back and just replaced the triangle sprite with an isometric cube, to see how it would look. We are discussing at what view the game is gonna have, everything from isometric to 2D platformer. But haven't come to a conclusion yet. Thing is, isometric would be the coolest but does also require the most work graphics wise. We'll see!

Just a note before I wrap this up; I'm noticing myself that this blog leans a little towards being a development blog from my perspective more than from the groups perspective. But maybe that can't be helped. This initiative is my one as a way to follow our work and to share it with those interested. But I will be trying not to make it look like I am taking all the credit for this!
