JS13K Games 2019 Day 2

Life got in the way, today.  I was away from the keyboard and didn't have any time to work on my code.  This blog post is also going to be late, as well.

Anyway, my coworkers came up with their own idea for the JS13K Games Competition, and they seem to be inviting me to join their team.  I'll have to look at the rules to see if it is legal for me to do my own game while helping another team with their game.  I'm sure it wouldn't be, since that could mean that I could do something like get in first and second place.  Yeah, I want to check over the rules before I continue more on Shield Bearer.  I'll probably return to it someday.

I decided to spend the last few minutes of today setting up a GitHub.io Page.  It also gave me a chance to test to see if Git for Windows was installed on my desktop.  It was pretty easy process, and I managed to get it up and running pretty quickly.  Check out my GitHub.io Page!  I got nothing to show on it for now.  It just contains two links: one back to this Developer Blog, and one to my GitHub Profile.  I added the link to my GitHub.io Page in my GitHub Profile, and that was it for today (as in for 8/14/2019).

Hopefully, I can be more productive tomorrow (8/15/2019)!  I'll have to read up on those rules to decide the fate of Shield Bearer, too.

Hacktoberfest 2019 Day 8

Image
It's been a few days since I tried to contribute anything to the Hackoberfest this year, but I think I found a decent project for my last Pull Request: Super Tiny Icons .  It's a collection of logos made using Scalable Vector Graphics , with the goal of each logo being under 1 KB. I originally was going to create the logo for Kotlin Programming Language , but then I saw this "issue" where they requested the Microsoft logo .  I'm surprised no one took it!  The latest Microsoft logo is just four squares with a solid color for each square !  With such a simple request, I forked the project and got to work! I wanted to hand code it, because Inkscape made my shrub for Jedulz's game super huge.  It ended up being smaller to just export as a PNG.  Since I've never hand coded an SVG, I searched the internet and found this guide to hard coding an SVG . After reading that guide, it seemed appropriate to download the the PNG of the Microsoft logo and take so...

JS13K Games 2019 Day 30

Hmm...less than 34 hours to complete Shield Bearer for the contest.  Hopefully, tonight will be just like yesterday. Okay, let's get a Heads Up Display (HUD) going to display the player's current score and their Health Bar.  I wanted to get the score going first, so I looked up how to draw text using the HTML5 canvas context .  I then read up on the JavaScript classes , because I wanted to know if I could create a static class just to display the score.  I can: if I add the word "static" before the function in the class, it becomes a static function that can be called right from the class without creating an instance of that class.  I gave it a static draw() function, and made a few const variables to hold the color that I wanted for the text.  I then added it to my main draw() function to get the score to draw on the Canvas.  I had to change the x and y variables around to fully display the text, but I got it in an area that I like. Now, we need a...

JS13K Games 2019 Day 20

Life just kept me away from the keyboard, so I'm really going to have to kick this in high gear if I want to have a working project by the end of the competition. I do have some good news, I got FireFox installed for testing and I found a really good snippet of code: jfriend00's docReady code will allow me to have a "$('document').ready(function(){});" without having to add jQuery.  Remember, I have to keep my game under 13K in a zipped folder. My test to see if docReady would work, was to get the Canvas to resize to the available browser screen size.  I found a w3School webpage on window's innerheight and innerwidth , but those would be WAY TOO BIG for the screen.  I then tried document.body.clientWidth and document.body.clientHeight, but I got the same result.  As I was playing around with Chrome's Developer Console, I found document.body.offsetWidth and document.body.offsetHeight; which, gave me the window's Height and Width that were curre...
