Critique 2

Last time, on Team Hopper...

  • Tile Engine
  • Tile Generation
  • Tile Persistence
  • Tile Rendering
  • Tile Interaction

Since then...

  • World Generation Pipeline (+Modifiers).
  • Tile Engine improvements.
  • More and better tests.
  • Miscellaneous improvements.

World Generation Pipeline (#88)

  • Interface: TileModifier
  • Implementations:
    • SquareVeinTileModifier
    • PerlinVeinTileModifier
  • Also: NoiseCreator, for Perlin noise / fractal noise
- NoiseCreator uses Fractal Brownian Motion.

Tile Engine

  • Pipeline infrastructure
  • FlyWay integration
  • Refactoring

Testing improvements

  • Chunk rendering tested with PowerMock.
  • Assorted tile testing improvements.

Updated Textures

Miscellaneous Improvements

  • Documentation.
  • Vertical mouse panning.
  • Parallax effect for the sun.
  • Window resizing work.

Challenges

  • Generating mineral veins - noise that 'looks right'.
  • Testing randomness.
  • Mouse panning: Rendering assumed fixed Y position.
- World had no concept of 'y offset'

What's Next?

  • World Gen improvements
    • More modifiers
  • Lighting?

Call for Feedback

  • Texture Design - Theming / Tessellation
  • Usability of Modifiers - Usability
