Matt Progress Report: 5/07/01

Goals for the past week

Implement the user interface for the game.

Accomplishments for the past week

Most of the past week has focused on the integration of all of our modules into one program. We have made some progress and we can now send messages over the network the represent user input and. We also got the screen to render on a client's screen. Not much was done in the way of the user interface however, but I am working on it right now, so I should have something done by the time of the meeting. Also, I don't know if I mentioned this before, but the quadtree has been re-implemented to the way it should have been the first time around.

List of schedule-altering events

Completion of the user ineterface takes precedence over explosions, which was what was planned for the coming week. I don't think that the interface will take the entire week, so hopefully something will be accomplished in the way of explosions. Also, I need to find or create a texture that represents the weapon projectile.

Plans for the coming week

User interface (very high priority), explosions (hopefully), and weapon projectile texture (probably).

Morale Rating

A little higher than it was last week. Once we got something working in the way of integration, I felt MUCH better. If the user interface will be completed this week, I will be back at the level of excitement I had when the quarter first statred.
