pawel - hit detection for blocks works now, the can be in any place with any length width and height (can be used for walls, etc), but for some reason when approached at a certain angle, it switches camera view
shagee - giant sphere for sky? worked on texture looks better. found OVERLAY class for george to make hud rule.
george - made a radar for the hud

today the server didnt work:
pawel and george: worked on tessting certain aspects of the game, conceptualy fixed hit detection and such
shaagnik: research into sphere environment and stuff

shagee wasnt in class
pawel: worked more on hit detection, made the program pass the health variables
george: added GUI for health bars and such, also worked on passing snowman health

today shagee and george were both out taking AP stat or something
pawel - worked on hit detection, it mostly works now. lasers stop when they hit someone and such

Shaagnik just finished the menus!

Pawel worked on hit detection and he made some lasers!
George got some HUD stuff working, just that he has things display in the front.
Shaagnik started on the main menu, starting on the join/start game networking janks.
woo progress!

today shaagnik got a better texture on but blender's having some issues.
otherwise pawel worked on rotating the dude properly, george got started on some hud stuff, pawel worked on hit detection. also shaagnik started some art for the hud.

WE DID A LOT OF STUFF
today shaagnik worked with some texturing to make it actually work, which it doesn't really still, but we got networking working with three people, and drew them as kinda ugly snowmen (textures are no good). BUT that means we have snowmen moving around (and jumping) and we're also working on getting them to rotate properly, which almost works.

progress

shaagnik: tried new approach to texturing problem
pawel and george: (almost) success! players can now see anyone who joined the game before them, and it will be working perfectly soon

Pawel and George continued to work on the networking thing... there's some problem with finding the number of players.
Shaagnik got his snowman done and has some glitches in his class.

Pawel: added a jump function to the game (pressing space should make him jump), still isn't really tested, and then added some basic hit detection (also still untested) its hard to test when the network code isn't quite working
George: still trying to fix all that network stuff. Progress was actually made. The server and host now send and receive new data. It also turned out that using .ready() was not a good idea. But basically data is now sent to people.
Shagee: continued to work on modeling and texturing

Shagee: finished the basic website and it has everything it needs to have. He'll make it look better later. He also began texturing the snowman model.
Pawel & George: finally fixed the error where the environment wouldn't recognize changes in player position (which is what we've been trying to fix for weeks). Now there is a new network related problem.

pawel: tried to fix networking, no real progress made, went to orchestra because tonight they're going to Boston
george: continued to work with network. Changed basic infrastructure of servers and clients to make updating work right. Still didn't work
shagee: created a 3d snowman model woo!

Shaagnik made his class sort of work, but it's pulling the wrong number of vertices so there are lots of holes in the thing.
Pawel and George tried to work on the thing, using a thread to make it work? but it didn't, and then pawel left for orchestra.
George tried to change scope issues, but it didn't work. FIENDS
Shaagnik needs to make the snowman model and the website. update tonight?

Currently Listening: Diego
Currently Feelin': shindiggery? shaagnik's turnin' eighteen! lines form on your face and hands something something EIGHTEEEEN

basically what we did yesterday

pawel and george: made sizeable progress on networking. still not working completely
shaagnik: into debugging code

pawel and george: tried to combine networking with snowman for what we're calling an alpha release. not much luck
shaagnik: began cloding a class to read in a Blender object file and render it (with textures) in JOGL

currently something

pretty good amount of progress today.

shaagnik: writing a class to automate texture mapping
pawel: game works with multiple players and updates positions correspondingly. communication between PlayerInterface and Environment
george: HUD-transforming gl so that the HUD stays on screen

to do next class:
shagee-finish his texture class
george and pawel: integrate networking with multiplayer

shaagnik: absent
pawel: refactored code, worked on displaying multiple players on screen at once
george: began work on HUD (heads up display)

george: made working networked chat program that supports multiple clients

pawel: changed mouse cursor, tried to change images

shaagnik: began texture-painting

currenly listening: cake

progress made:
pawel-constrained looking, added mouseclick listener

george-made a server connect to a client, but couldn't send messages between the two

shaagnik-finished snowman model

currently feeling: making progress maybe?

shaagnik: worked on snowman model
pawel: made spherical coordinates (and therefore strafing, etc) work
george: began a java chat client in order to learn networking. no luck so far, due to BindException

Currently Feeling: alllll alone

pawel and shaagnik: ABSENT, truant kids
george: tried to learn networking

Day 4

currently feeling: george-less
currently listening: thanksforinstallingblender by kevin mcgehee

george wasn't here so he did nothing, though he might be programming some networking code at home. also maybe we can host our website on his sever.
pawel learned to keep the mouse centered and has some dodecahedron moving stuff
shaagnik got object files into jogl and that's pretty rad.
pawel is working with some spherical coordinates so the camera can look up instead of just left and right.
shaagnik is making a basic snowman in blender from a tutorial so he can learn some stuff.

-shaagnik

the code

today we: finished the design documents and began coding

all: finish I&C
all: division of labor
Shaagnik: worked on a 3D modeling tutorial
George: Java networking tutorial
Pawel: keyboard controls, JOGL framework set up

Day 2

Currently Feeling: high on progress, low on time
Currently Listening: Daaaaaaaaaaaang by T-Rex and the Utahraptors

today we (mainly Pawel) worked on I&C Diagram... it's almost done
Shaagnik looked into 3D modeling with Blender
Shaagnik filled out the calendar for March
George found a networking tutorial

-George

Day 1

Currently Feeling: beginningful
Currently Playing: music from the Jazz Joint

this isn't really day one, but this is day one of logging. hooray. this is not the beginning, but it is a beginning (to use a dumb sounding sentence).
Shaagnik was absent, so he did NOTHING
Pawel finished the algorithm
Pawel and George began the Inheritance and Composition Diagram

-George
