Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Blitz Blox Update I coded the first special block action tonight, and it went very smoothly. The first block I implemented was the Clip Block. When a player deploys a Clip Block, it lands on the stack and then every single block residing in the clip of that player’s opponent is […]

While that may not seem like much, it’s actually just the foundation on […]

Design Redux on Blitz Blox
December 21st, 2006 · 1 Comment · Software
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So I got all the block interactions working last night, which made me happy. But it also prompted me to rethink some aspects of the game design.

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll On Networking Ok so I spent my entire time last night working on bringing all of my various web presences up to date.

Collisions suck ass
December 10th, 2006 · No Comments · Software
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So I had this brilliant idea last nite (or should I say, this morning) that in order to keep blocks from knocking up against each other when they both fall in the same column at the same time (or nearly enough that they overlap), I’d use the collision layers functionality if […]
