Scuba DiveScuba Dive - an old Speccy game remade for the Retro Remakes Competition 2006.
On hold!
I don't know when I will finish or restart this game... In the beginning there was void | Yes, nothing to show you yet.
Just a bunch of stuff that needs to get done.
As I progress I will add screenshots, infos about implemented stuff and so on at this page.
At the top (right here) I will keep my todo list.
Here we go:

| Work on menu code | Tuesday, June 13, 2006, 10:40 PM
I added functionality to have menu items with text only instead of images like in Astrobreak.
That's working now. Next is the mouse control to select menu items. |
| Small steps ahead... | Friday, June 23, 2006, 10:07 PM
Okay, I finished the menu code. Now completely mouse friendly 
And I did my first 3D model (yeah, the one I showed in the blog).
And the first steps of random sea bed generation are working.
Generating a whole level randomly should be done pretty quick now.
Proof of concept picture follows.

| Code stuff | Monday, July 03, 2006, 10:55 PM
What's new?
- added a graphical mouse for fullscreen mode,
- added a camera view so that I can display some kind of HUD on the right side of the screen,
- started with creation of types for moveable objects and player,
- prepared some code for different control modes (keyboard, different mouse modes),
- prepared some code for redefinable keys,
- started with player initialization code.
Not bad for two hours coding.
Furthermore I fiddled around with some graphics - prepared stuff for the diver (got all body parts, now need to work on his flippers, his aqua lung and such.
A first draft of a treasure chest is also done but it's too ugly to show it right now  |
| More things done | Saturday, July 08, 2006, 9:06 PM
I added the player code and the first bits of animation. I'm still using dummy graphics but at least keyboard control is working. Need to finetune a bit with speed and rotation of the diver but that's easy.
Next thing will be world collision and improved dummy graphics of the sea bed.
I will also try to finish the whole sea bed generation including all caves tonight... |
| Tiny bits | Monday, July 31, 2006, 11:42 PM
The diver is now animated faster if he moves faster. Also switching images (diver looking left or diver looking right depending on angle) is done.
I rewrote parts of the sea bed generation algorithm to use it also for the big cave and the smaller caves below.
Right now I can generate a pretty smooth seabed and a rough big cave. Small caves ahead.
I am thinking about generating the ground and cave tiles programmatically...we'll see. |
| More cave stuff... | Wednesday, August 02, 2006, 9:41 PM
The sea bed and big cave are generated great now.
Small caves are started - but I need to think of a way to connect them with the big cave...
after the vacation... |
