My goal for the week was to figure out how to run the server and client on the lab computers and to add multiplayer support to the server and client.
I got the client and server running on the lab computers. I also got multiplayer support added to both the server and the client, so each client can now see the other clients in the game and the server updates and sends everybody's state.
The week actually went better than I thought it would. Since I've had so much trouble with CMake in the past, I thought getting the server and client to run on the lab computers would take forever to figure out. But it turns out the compiler was just losing its mind over some really silly bugs in our code.
The goal for this coming week is to fix a bug with how the server handles key presses: it currently processes every key press the client sends, but this causes the cube's speed to be inconsistent on different devices. Gameplay has also finished one of the security guard's abilities (see thieves' positions on minimap), so I'm going to move the logic for that to the server.
Never used Visual Studio before so learned a bit about it while trying to get the server and client running on the lab computers. I also had to share the lab with a bunch of high schoolers on Saturday, so I learned that high school boys are still as obnoxious as I remember them being.
The work for this week is very straightforward and I've decided that my other assignments are just figments of my imagination, so I'm feeling pretty cheery.
