This week I didn’t manage to get much coding done as I had been unwell for most of it, but I did manage to get the programming fundamental task done.
Phaser Classes
For our programming fundamental task we were assigned to look into five Phaser classes and see what uses they could have in 2D games. One of the classes I discuss is the phaser camera class which allows me create a camera which follows the player at a close range, preventing them from seeing to far into the distance.
Among other useful classes, I found the text class which would allow my to display text on the screen which I could use to help show when the player has won or lost the game.
New code
This week I didn’t write as much code as the one before it but there is still progress nonetheless. I created an enemy which follows the player at all times, this enemy will also remove health from the player when colliding but that will be implemented at a later point in the upcoming week.
This code successfully created an enemy which move straight towards the player. Next I needed a camera which would follow the player.
Goals for deadline week
Next week I need to create collectibles with a win condition by the minimum, I would also like to add a lose state if the zombie catches up to the player and give the player a weapon to defend themselves.
