Logic Tracks
Screenshot depicting intersecting track and a utilitarian GUI so far.
Progress Thus Far
- I have begun the behind the scenes groundwork for the GUI.
- I have implemented the GUI triggered functionality that allow the user to create and delete sections of track. In the future, I should make it so the user can click and drag large sections of track to speed up their track creation time.
- I have made major strides towards implementing the representation of Train cars and their ability to transverse the track network. Their are still a few bugs regarding the transitioning between tracks when intersection curves are present, but not viable.
Major Milestones to Come
- I need to implement the logic for input locations and output locations.
- I need to implement the user designed logic system that allows the user to interactively map inputs to the various blocks.
- I need to implement the handling of collisions between cars and the interaction of the logical components with the cars, in addition to the representation of the car’s load state.
- I need to fine tune the GUI to make the game as user friendly as possible.
- I need to implement a distinction between level creation mode and level playing mode.
- It would be nice if I could functionally compose levels, just like actual programs.
