Angie - Week 6 Report

What were your concrete goals for the week?

My goal was to continue to work on client ticks and work on integration with graphics.

What goals were you able to accomplish?

We ended up moving away from client ticks, the idea was to help with cheating detection or dealing with outdated packets but decided it wasn't beneficial for the demo. I ended up reworking the code to be encapsulated in packet classes and am mostly done with the different types (init, state update, key event), but there's a bug that causes the model to jitter.

If the week went differently than you had planned, what were the reasons?

I ended up on different tasks than I expected for the week after discussing it with April. Also was surprised by an urgent care visit, but I'm still workshopping the story behind that (right now I'm leaning towards a fight with a shark)

What are your specific goals for the next week?

I want to figure out the bug with the packet classes, continue moving any game logic to the server, and figure out the issue with the lab computers.

What did you learn this week, if anything (and did you expect to learn it)?

I learned more about OpenGL and rendering to try and figure out the issue with the jittering model, and also (re)learned more about C++ and how it deals with pointers and inherited/base classes.

What is your individual morale?

Feeling behind and want to catch up more this week
