Droplet Thoughts (Day 2)

I’m calling my RubyWeekend #3 game “Droplet”. I will not proceed to ramble about it to help my planning. And you get to read the results, you lucky person you!

• I’m setting aside the animals/people aspect for the competition. It’s just going to be about the plants.
• I’m going to use Garage Band’s built-in instruments to create the music sound effects for the game. I am in love with Garage Band.
• I’ll be using Gamebox. It seems pretty cool so far.
• Since the game takes place on the inside surface of a circle, I’ll need to do some trigonometry to calculate the positions and angles of plants around that circle. After a bit of thought on this, I’ve decided I’ll make a PivotActor that represents the center of the circle and contains the math code to calculate the positions of plants given an angle, and also calculate the point on the circle nearest to the mouse cursor.

I’ll update this post with more thoughts as I have them.
