Work with Team to debug current problems and make appropriate changes to improve the game's fun factor.

Figure out why sound is not playing in 3D and make it work!

Work with Kevin to design and implement support for the options menu.

Help Kevin finish up the rest of the game logic.

Finish debugging the sound event system.

Help Kevin with the Game Over game state.

I was able to get the Sound Event system up and running across the network thanks to Kevin's debugging skills.

I was able to debug the client/server so that the server would no longer need to be restarted.

I was unable to sucessfully get the sound events to play in 3D. They only play in 2D at the current moment.

Continue debugging and fixing elements that would improve gameplay and performance.

Solve the annoying mystery of the 2D to 3D sound translation.

Most of the work is done so I am taking a big sigh of relief at the moment.

Help Kevin enumerate all the necessary game logic states that need to be handled.

Integrate the sound event system.

I was able to finish the sound event system but Kevin and I are still debugging.

I was unable to help Kevin with the game logic due to other class obligations

Help Kevin with the rest of the game logic

Help Kevin with the Game Over game state

I can't wait for this quarter to end! I'm j/k. All the work is starting to pay off.

Finish the game logic so that we can have an early version of the game to start optimizing.

Finish the Connection gamestate code and integrate with Justin's CEGUI interface and Kevin's other gamestates.

Take on the sound event system that needs to get built into the networking interface.

Finished abstracting the necessary client code so that our connection gamestate can replace the windows dialog interface.

Finished adding enough sound buffers to support all user sounds.

I did not finish integrating the sound event system into the networking interface due to time complexities with the connection gamestate.

Finish integrating sound events into networking.

Help out on game logic where possible.

The game is rounding out and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Work with Kevin to finish weapon projectile motions.

Add sound event support to network and game engine interface.

Kevin finished all the projectiles so I concentrated on updating sound support. I modifed the sound interface to cut down on as many uneeded resources as possible. This included streaming the background music instead of loading the entire file into memory as well as removing 3d support for sounds that are only local to the client perspective.

I was unable to help Kevin with the projectile motions. He was too quick last week!

I was unable to fully devise a sound event system that will efficiently load all necessary sounds on demand. It appears this will take more time than previously estimated. Kevin and I have put that off for now and will approach the problem again together very soon.

I would like to replace the current client dialog box with a custom window that is rendered in OGRE. This will be the gamestate prior to configuration.

I would like to help Kevin finish the game logic so that we can have an alpha version of the game by this weekend.

The game is looking great and I am getting excited again.

Develop a map configuration loader to import settings from an xml file.

Research projectile physics and beging writing framework code.

Work with Kevin to add support for more network messages.

Finished xml parser to load configuration state

Added support for additional input keys

Added support to package/unpackage input messages sent across the network

Started working with Kevin on basic projectile motion

I was unable to help Kevin finish all the different projectile motions.

Add support for multiple sound as well as sending sound events across the network

Help Kevin finish all projectile motions

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired!

Continue physics research and start designing physics engine framework.

Help Isaac fix Sound module bugs if needed and integrate with other components.

Start writing code for game logic and physics engine.

Helped Isaac figure out the buffer mechanism used by 3D sound.

Helped Justin and Kevin come up with basic game objects and class heirarchy.

I was unable to start researching the projectile physics implementation due to time constraints.

I would like to spend most of next week researching and coding basic projectile motion physics.

I am beginning to feel the pressure of the project. I know in the end it will all be worth it!

Work with Kevin to finish the network interface to a state where we could move on to other jobs.

Learn how to use WinCVS so that the team could start checking in code.

Research DirectInput and study sample code in SDK.

Work with team to come up with an integration plan so that we wouldn't have problems later on when we actually integrated.

Was able to setup a simple server interface that would accept connections from Kevins client interface.

Was able to figure out how to check code in/out into WinCVS. Not a friendly process if you ask me!

Was able to understand all the DirectInput sample code enough to start working on basic input.

WinCVS has been troubling all of us. I decided to put it behind me for more important things.

Design and implement simple input interface.

Begin integrating network interface with simple input interface.

Start researching physics and game logic engine.

Getting higher!! Although I do need to start paying more attention to other classes! I have been neglecting my other studies so that I could make this work!

Research DirectPlay interface and study sample code provided by SDK.

Work with Kevin to come up with a Framework plan for the networking interface design.

Try to setup a basic client/server interface and test bandwidth of network with simple events.

Design and implement a simple Logging interface that the team could use in aiding difficult debugging situations.

Was able to understand the sample code for DirectPlay enough to start modifying it.

Was able to design a logging interface that would allow us to create a seperate log for each component.

N/A

Start working with Kevin on DirectPlay code to create client/server interface.

Figure out how DirectInput will come into play in our game.

Extremely high! Very excited about the class and anxious to see a working product!
