3D Framework for Android sample

I finally made it!

I have found couple bugs that was causing problems in my game.

first of all and I guess that was only error I have had was texturing for blocks – my program was using custom created mipmap function that was using probably not supported by hardware on desire, however.. it is working now!

Check this out! 3D Framework

Finishing prototype

Tomorrow I have to pass documentation for my mobile development game. Development name “Carlos”.

Basic idea for the game is to move from place A to place B – but that is not so easy to do! There is labyrinth a.. and a evil sphere.. fine! I had no idea for the game, ok!

Well not simple enough to be build in less than a week, anyway. This was great background for developing simple Android Framework that will allow me to develop something more sophisticated in the future.

Last changes for lightning, music  and labyrinth model  and tomorrow documentation..

fingers crossed,

Ok, adding music is really easy!

what we need is variable

private MediaPlayer mp;

then in onCreate method

  mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.run);
  mp.start();

and done!

you can as well add

mp.stop();
mp.pause();

CBox Class

Idea
Whole world in this project is made by boxes as mentioned in previous post: Carlos – World Class – First Prototype.

Feature

  • Different texture for every box can be used
  • Box can be set in every place – simply calculated on world array
  • Feature to show where box is set
  • Every Box can have set up is if is passable or not

Future Development
In future I want to make this class more sophisticated for instance

  • transparent boxes (windows),
  • disappearing  boxes (traps),
  • position of box changed in real time (lifts, doors)

Carlos – World Class – First Prototype

World Class
World in this game is made by blocks that can by passable or cannot, there is different class used to handle boxes it is called CBox. Idea is really simple but really effective and popular in industry. (google for Minecraft or cubeengine – fun fact Crytek – has used little *ekhem*, well bit more than that.. but based on the same idea solution  for Crisis, where whole world is created by millions of boxes that allows creation of tunnels, caves, etc.

Feature
Load, process and draw  3-dimension map, it is container class that contains all elements that are on map player, AI opponent, floor, walls, lights.

Class include:

  • Update on click/touch
  • Process lights – note: only exit point light – requires future development
  • Draw – draw blocks
  • Checker for boxes is is passable
  • Clearing visited positions
  • keep past and current frame time
