Inventory and Quests

Inventory and Quests

I'm sure that most if not all of us are familiar with quests. Even if you have never played a video game you have probably heard of them one time or another. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few millennia. In short, a quest is something you do and you get something in reward. Usually you tend to get quests from NPC's (non player characters) in RPG's (Role playing games). Do the thing, get the reward. Now my game being a RPG, I decided to add a quest system and a NPC system as well. During the past 3 or 4 days I have been following a tutorial by Hardly Brief Tutorials in his 4 part series Make an RPG 2016. He explains so well even I can understand him and keep up with him. If you are interested in following along I suggest watching him.

While I have been busy working on this Pickle has been restlessly working on his lil' inventory system. Something about arrays and saving item ID's in them and I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU! WHEN THE RAINS STARTS TO FALL sorry. Friends theme started playing. Where was I? Oh yeah Inventory speak. As of right now the second the player character touches a item it immediately de-spawns and gets added to your inventory. If you have one of those items already in your inventory it gets stacked depending on its ID specification. *head bops to 7 nation army* I'm sorry, it's just my playlist is gold. Right back on task. The interface itself could use some work but it's function works. My god that guitar is so good. You ever know a song from a Minecraft parody but never heard the actual song? Probably just me. What was I talking about? Inventory right. We are also working on stacking max and so on but other than that I'm the one behind. 

God this song is so sad... Death bed by Powfu for any of you wondering. Anyways, thank you for reading this weeks post. Sorry I've missed a few but circumstances and we've been working hard to win! WHOOO! *head bops to Welcome to the jungle*

You would not believe what I just did

Back again! Lets start with the obvious. I missed Saturday. But! I have a good excuse. I was on a bus to The Dalles for a robotics competition. Eh? Eh? How was that for an excuse? And because that's still fresh on my mind I'm going to tell y'all about it.  Lets start with waking up. For most people waking up at 4 am would be a hard task. I made it easy by, you know, not going to sleep . Next is the bus drive. Some would argue that it's the funnest part of a field trip. Those people are right. Especially when you're with friends and have stuff to do. I'm not going to go into specific but let's just say I am an uno MASTER . Not to brag or anything of course... Then's the competition itself. You get to look at other robots and compare them to your own and make predictions about how it was going to play out. But as stressful as some moments are it's really fun in the end. We saw some bots that where beautiful in some different ways. Some of th

Not gonna lie I'm not sure what to talk about today. So I guess I might as well talk about the boring stuff. Well, boring for most. But not this boi. I'm talking about CODE. I just felt the massive wave of everyone exiting out of this page but whatever . To be fair, I haven;t done much of the code. I coded a little script so that we can move the character but that's about it really. I've mostly focused on building the game. Pickle has done most of the code. ... Wow. Saying that made me feel sad. To think he has done more code than I have. Oh well. I can't go into much detail on how it works 'cause I didn't build it but I'm going to try and explain how the Inventory system works Basically you have the open spaces in your inventory. As you pick up items they get sorted into a open space. If you already have an item in your inventory and you pick up another one it gets stacked onto the one already in it unless the item is non-stackable in which case it

I did a thing

To some peoples surprise, it is actually quite hard to build an entire maze in Unity. Every single wall has to be built by hand. I think in total its 500+ walls in the maze. Now, by anyone's standards that's quite a bit. Unless your rich or something I guess. But I'm proud of it. 30 minutes I spent trying to get to the end and hooooly cheese is it hard. You think paper maze's are hard? Try actually being inside one of them. Hard. Anyways, that's not what I'm here to talk about. The next step in this game is the stuff that will make this an actual game. I'm talking about npc's, quests, rewards, and obviously inventory. Pickle has already started work on the inventory and he's actually almost done. Not gonna tell y'all about it cause I don't know the specifics but he can tell you if he ever posts in this blog. I'm going to start work on different regions of the maze because our game plan requires that. Maybe work on the npc's itself
