We have been making a ton of java classes.  However it's a little hard to follow along.  It would've been great this idea was planned before hand that way we have something to reference to. 

New game stuff

Jaspher has been working hard trying to get a score system going.  But hes running into all kinds of problems with the features of the package that hes trying to work with.  Mr. Nickles has been helping him alot.  Christian has been assigned the duty of creating the splash screen and adding sound. 
I've been working on just upgrade the game and cleaning up unused and code that's not needed.
I've been busy with so much other end of semester projects that I haven't really had much time recently.
I got a chance to talk to other groups outside of class and we are sharing our ideas.  There are still some issues that I need to bring up like the sprite generation upon collision.  Once I can generate the Sprites needed upon collision I think our game should be presentable.

j2me Zombie Invaders game

Game progression went great this week.  Threw in a boss, implemented new levels, and got some help and tips from our instructor, David Nickles. We resolved the array out of bounds error by implementing stacks to our collection.  We are working on a high score screen and a start game splash screen.

Implementing class timers

Finishing up today.  Added a timer to the game.  Got the Hunter Sprite to be animated and move along a confined area.  Working on randomly generating zombies and how frequently.  Also thinking about adding a boss in like a WEREWOLF.  that would be really cool to do. time to get some shut eye.

Zombie Invaders

This weekend I revisited the game Zombie Invaders.  My team and I were starting to feel like our project was going no where.  I decided to scrap all our old code  because nothing was working.  No game boundaries, no sprites, no timer, memory errors, you name it, it happened.  Anyway I started off simple using the Tank example that Mr.Nickles showed us in class.  I have made insane amounts of progress over the weekend spending countless hours learning and working on my code.  Ive created a game canvas, with a nice background image and Ive also animated the zombie sprite, AND created the hunter sprite with boundaries based on key input.  I am now going to work on implementing a clock class to keep track of the timer that we wanted to implement.  This clock class will implement when each level ends and determines the score.  This is going to be challenging.

In class learning blog

This week in class we did some eclipse GWT designer project examples.
Mr.Nickles showed us how to create multiple Java UI composites that act as a web page and communicate with the server.  We have created all the necessary composites for the secretgifter application that we will be building, the login screen, favorites screen, and pick a person screen.  Now on Tuesday all we have to do is build the code to link these all together.  JAVA IS GETTING FUN!

GWT Designer

I was creating my project and realized that I my eclipse did not have a designer.  I had to install the GWT Designer package
