Current Game Plan

 My current plan with my game (and beyond) is to get the API, Engine, and Game separation finished. That would get it to v.0.0.6.0. Also, then I would have an API and Engine upon which I can build various games.

My plan at that point is to make one simpler game (like maybe some Pacman-type game or something). Then I can use that simpler game as something to show people if they ever ask what I've made. Also I can finally say I made my own game from scratch (because the API, Engine, and Game itself would be my own making).

Ultimately with the API and Engine, I'd like to have them set-up so that I could make any program using them. So I could make a text editor if I wanted to, or a decoder for some code system I make up. I'd also like to eventually make a program that you can use to create programs from the engine and API. Like it gives you access to the API in order to use it correctly when developing your program, but the engine code is obfuscated at the time. Then when you decide to finalize your program, it pairs up the engine, API, and your game's code into a nice jar (or exe) file that runs the program you made.

One game from the past that I really want to make now is STSB (Super Tadukoo Smash Bros.). Basically the idea was that I'd make a game similar to Super Smash Bros. (hence the title), but with as many characters as I could think of to include. Basically the ultimate Super Smash Bros. that would include every character that I've ever heard of.

At that point, I had Game Maker, so I was actually trying to make the game. I believe I got it working for basic movement, a basic gun-type attack, and a health system (although I remember working with a percent system too). I had a few characters in it (basically just retextured though). The thing that I got stuck on was trying to make an unlockable character. I tried making Luigi unlockable, but it just wasn't working. Eventually I gave up. At this point, I have no idea where the code for that game is or if I even still have it.

But I have no idea if I'll ever make a game like that. One of the reasons I want to make another game before TAG is that TAG is this giant idea that will take a very long time to make, and I'd like to make some simpler game(s) before that. I don't think STSB is necessarily a simpler game, but I may end up trying to make it again. You never know. Perhaps the simpler game I make will be based off of a random title I make up as well, maybe for the acronym PEA this time?

I'm Leaving Blogger (Old)

This post is old, I've since moved back to blogger (see this post ).  Once the blog posts are back, I'll be updating the links here to point to their new locations. As of today, I'm officially leaving Blogger. I'm taking all my posts with me too. I've setup two websites for my future blogging and programming projects, and all my posts from here will be available on one of those websites moving forward. The first website is my personal website, https://tadukoo.github.io - On it, I'll be posting about my personal projects as well as any random posts I feel like posting. Most of my posts from here will be moving to this site, as most of my posts were about personal projects and random posts. This website is early in development, but it will ultimately include many details about me and what I'm working on. The other website is for my new open source GitHub organization I'm started called Tadukooverse. The website is https://tadukooverse.github.io  - On it, ...

Tadukoo Bible Update 8/22/2020

 I've moved the information for Tadukoo Bible to the Tadukoo GitHub site finally (it used to be on my wiki - which includes a bunch of stuff I've done, and some more of that will likely move over here in the future, but not all of it). From now on, this site will be the main place for Tadukoo Bible information (specifically from its project page ). Tadukoo Bible has been on a bit of a hiatus for a long time now, mainly due to college and other projects taking priority over the past several years for me. Last I touched it, I was trying to convert it into a general thing instead of just a Bukkit plugin, and trying to make a generic Minecraft API, and changing it to download verses from BibleHub to use instead of me having to setup the verse files by copy-paste (like I did for the King James Version back in the day). The general conversion and Minecraft API didn't get very far, but I do have working code to download from BibleHub (it's just not in the plugin itself). I st...

The Development of My Game

Image
 The game has come a long way from the beginning until now. I ended up calling it "TAG" as a way to say it quickly. TAG came from the way I named the project folder in eclipse. I named it "TadukooAGame", because I already had "TadukooGame" and A was the first letter of the alphabet. Back when I started on TAG, I had already wanted to make a game, I just didn't have an idea yet. I had looked up tutorials on making games, and I found one that essentially had the code and graphics in it for a moon lander game. What I did was I copied the code from that (by physically typing it), that way I'd be able to better understand it and read it as I go along. After that, I modified the game to be a better moon lander (in my opinion). I also changed the graphics to be in my style. That is what "TadukooGame" had become. I didn't claim the game as my own or share it anywhere, I simply used it to help me better understand programming. Back then, I did...
