Township - Development Thread

[Jubal]

I concur that it would be nice to see a shiny new Township version.

[Cuddly Khan]

I've downloaded it, now just to test it out.

It keeps on crashing a few seconds of playing.

[Son of the King]

Yeah this old version will do... It's crazy buggy .

[Jubal]

Yes, which is why we're badgering you about a new one.

#include <string>
#include "Game.h"
#include "SotKTasks.h"

using namespace std;

int main( int argc, const char* argv[] )
{  // main function
    vector<string> todo;
    Game township = new Game("RTS/castle defence hybrid", *todo);
   
    // loop through todo vector, implementing each item
    for(int i = 0; i < todo.size(); i++) implement(todo[i]);

    // upload township-pre-alpha-0.3.0
    upload(township);

    // print out success message
    cout << "Township Pre-Alpha 0.3.0 uploaded successfully." << endl;
}


Sadly however, todo.size() is a very big number, so that loop may take a while to finish. Also I'm drowning in coursework.

tl;dr: I'm still working on Township, stuff is getting done again now I'm settled back into uni and am drowning in coursework less severely than the last 3 or 4 weeks.

Yaaaaay 

[Son of the King]

I started this 2 years ago almost... I am bad at motivation.

[Jubal]

Double that number, apply to site as a whole => my reaction.

Even thinking about programming in Python makes me sad now that I am fluent in c++ and have seen its great power. Looking at the code for this makes me sadder. This is partly because I started doing my final graphics coursework, and I accidentally a Township.

[Jubal]

Township II? 

[Son of the King]

Spoiler

You could say that xD .

[Jubal]

So is what you're building actually going to be a game, or is it really a graphical engine type thing?

At the moment its a graphics engine, and for the sake of finishing before the deadline/Christmas for the duration of the coursework it will probably stay a graphics engine. I'll add a game in at some point though, I really can't face python after seeing what c++ can do... The current python version can't handle maps larger than 200x200 tiles, this engine can handle 500x500 with no trouble at all (without any kind of optimisations).

[Jubal]

I should learn c++ at some stage.

And yeah, I guess in any case for the game to work it needs the engine done so there's not really a time saving in starting to add the game in too early.
