Yesterday I finished the first level and started dynamic reordering. Today I finished reordering and I’m starting on drag and drop.

I did do something yesterday too.

Levels can know draw themselves.
Collision detection is now written but it needs to be tested and made to work.

Wednesday?

Working on the level class. I know how to do, I just need to get it done.

I’m using jQuery’s .each function instead of for in because for in will iterate over user created properties.
Keyboard input now works for all instances of the game engine on a page.
The player can now move between canvases

Well I can now make multiple instances of the game engine but each new instance overwrites the onkeydown/onkeyup functions.
Still work to be done

Another Day

Test 3 done. Now I have to tweak the engine.

Making time

Finally made some time to code again.
Right now I’m modifying a game engine from Matthew Casperson
I have the player moving around the way I want now I’m adding jumping a falling.

Jumping done now I need to do some testing to see if this project is even possible.

Tests 1 and 2 done that just leaves testing drag and drop.
However I realized that if I want to have multiple instances of the game engine I’m going to have to tweak its use of global variables.

Object.prototype = new OtherObject

I’ve been going through some tutorials over at brighthub and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how things went together. Apparently if you add

Object.prototype = new OtherObject

after the definition of Object you make Object a derivative of OtherObject.
That doesn’t seem logical to me but at least I get it now.
