Drake

AI and Game research

This game requires the use of the unstable Love2D build 0.9.X

Running the game

Ubuntu 13.04:

sudo apt-get install love-unstable

love-unstable /path/to/Drake/

Windows:

Download the nightly build from http://nightly.projecthawkthorne.com/

The easiest way to run the game is to drag the folder onto love.exe, or a shortcut to love.exe. Remember to drag the folder containing main.lua, and not main.lua itself.

NOTE: The nightly build has one API call difference than the Linux version

On Viewport line 48 and 59 change self.tilesetBatch.addg( to self.tilesetBatch.add(

drake's Issues

Implement forward facing edges function for FOV

Find all the edges of tiles that block FOV that are facing the player

Fix windows/linux compatibility issue regarding spritebatch.addg

Fix this issue with the different unstable love2d builds

Update the README

Update the README, so I know how to get the game to run.

Separate the game logic turns from the rendering code

Currently we use Love's graphics event manager to enforce turn based mechanics. This will be an issue when we want to render real time light and graphics effects.

Improve the code quality regarding Lua standards

http://www.dcc.ufrj.br/~fabiom/lua/

Make sure we are creating objects the lua"thonic" way.

Creature Manager

Class that manages the AI in the game: creation, movement, combat

Link all forward facing edges

"Next, I link up each of these edges. So now each tile-length edge knows about its neighbors: each has a "next" and a "previous" edge. Some edges are dead-ends, though: they don't have a next or a previous. Not to worry, we'll add fake "edges" projecting off from those dead ends in a second."

Create projections from the player and link to all forward facing edges

Split geometry files into separate directory

The main Drake folder is getting too cluttered. It's best to start moving similar .lua files into separate directories. Currently thinking:

Drake/geometry
Drake/game
Drake/render

Create better debug interface

Create a better debug system such that shaders and other graphics effects can be disabled at will to debug lighting and other systems.

Shadowcast using OpenGL shaders

The current lighting shader does not perform any shadow casting when light his walls or other obstacles.
