In-game Tools & Whiteboard Calculations

Day 086 #100DaysOfCode
Day 050 #100DaysOfGameDev

In order to determine where best to place my Wooden Posts so they wouldn’t dip off-screen, and to be able to determine just exactly where they are in game-space so I can begin calculating proper coin spawns, I had to devise some in-game tools to help make that process easier. By using my little blue and yellow Marking Spheres, I was able to assess just where things were, and were going, with relative ease. What a time saver! I am now beginning to understand the value of developing your own tools within a project to make life easier.

With the assistance of my new Marking Spheres, I was able to determine just where things were going and move on to calculating where I want my bonus Coin spawns to go. My whiteboard got a lot of action this afternoon, but I’m pretty sure I have it all figured out now. I have started coding what I came up with and will see if this is indeed the case. Fingers crossed.
