For this week I finally began putting code down for my program. So far I have the basic start screen created, and am working on creating the next couple game states. From there I plan on implementing the basic game selection screen then putting its map in. The AI will be a future problem as well. When I figure out how I will also add my demo Balsamiq version of my program to the website.
This week’s main task was to start learning how to fully use the environment. I plan on using the Python tool pygame, which is completely unfamiliar to me so I will have to teach myself how to use the whole system. I also need to make a mock-up of my basic program, and for that I plan on using Balsamiq, and so far it will make a decent first build and will help my visualize my project better.
First post of the capstone, I have made my basic to do list, and picked out my working language. I’m doing it in Python because it is a very important language to learn and has a bunch of helpful tools for making games. So far I found a game library called pygame, then I also found a github repository for using maps from google maps. Next on my to do list is to do a basic architecture outline for how my game will work.
