B.A.M. | Sprint 2 | 9/10-9/24

     Battle-Auxiliary Mechanoids, or B.A.M., is a mecha strategy action game my team and I are developing f or our Advanced Production class at Chico State. I am one of three Programmers in our 14 person team. This post details my work process across our second Sprint.      My work this Sprint consisted of some more features for the enemies, spawning the player's Robot in at the start of the level, and starting on the pause menu. There will be multiple enemy types in the future, each with a different cooldown between spawning, so I implemented a simple system to set the maximum cooldown duration per enemy. Now, the spawner waits a random amount between 10 seconds and the previously spawned enemy's cooldown before spawning a new enemy. Updated Enemy Walking Behavior     Next, the enemy needed an adjustment to it's walking behavior to mimic the player's more closely. Previously, the enemy just walked in a straight line uniformly using Unreal's ...

I am one of three Programmers in our 14 person team. This post details my work process across our second Sprint.     My work this Sprint involved finishing up the map and player Robot spawning, setting up the projectile system to be used in the future, starting on the in game HUD, and ultimately refactoring and expanding the Hero's jetpack system. Fixed Map     By the end of last Sprint I had gotten the map and Robot spawning system mostly complete, but I soon realized there was a fatal error. Some of the icons weren't displaying in the correct locations, almost as if they had swapped positions with each other. I was testing my map icons in a less informative pattern than I thought it was, which delayed my figuring out the issue, but it soon became apparent that my math for converting...

I am one of three Programmers in our 14 person team. This post details my work process across our second Sprint.        My work this Sprint involved refactoring and adjusting the Building & City system to incorporate the previous Health and HUD systems. I also spent a lot of time working on the HUD warning system getting warnings to show up on enemy spawns, unique buildings being attacked, and the out of bounds warning. Near the end of the sprint, I also worked quite a bit fixing bugs with the Enemy behavior Building Organization      Previously, the building system had been implemented somewhat inefficiently and hadn't incorporated the standard health component system. Additionally, a lot of my systems, namely the enemies, were using a dummy building class in their logic ...
