Devlog #14: Welcome v2P.0.5.0 of Duvo Eins!

What I Did:

Well, I polished up my program, added a ReadMe, created a .exe program etc. to create the ship-ready version! I formatted the version differently (v2P.0.5.0 instead of v0.5) because I wanted to make sure this version was clear to be two-player only (as I am planning to do single-player in the future).

P.S.

I did reuse a picture this time since these is nothing really new to show!

Github Commit(s):

Check the repo yourself!

Next Up:

But I’m done! Oh wait… all the shipping stuff :)

Devlog #13: Ooh… Fighting!

What I Did:

This is basically the endgame here… literally! Here’s some of what I did:

• finished the combat mechanic (except for color multipliers)​
• added a dynamic health bar​
• started the endgame screen

Soon, we’re going to make it to v0.5!

Devlog #12: We Can Attack Now?

What I Did:

The current program is bugged a little bit, but here’s what was done this session:

• added a Player 2 question mechanic
• finished the settings page
• started the combat mechanic, but it’s very bugged

Next up, I got to fix a lot of bugs!

Github Commit(s):

No commits this time :(

Next Up:

I will continue working on the gameplay!

Devlog #11: Questions Loading…

What I Did:

I’m really excited with the progress of this project, especially since everything is coming together. Here’s some things I did in this session:

• mostly set up the settings page
• started the Player 1 question mechanic

Note:

In the picture below, I want to note that the questions do keep on glitching between the two kindergarten questions, but that is because the player mechanic didn’t get finished before this devlog.

https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/1ff48a802b77ec992dd962845cc0f5d44d9073bf

Next Up:

I will continue working on the question mechanics… and maybe combat too!

Devlog #10: Progress (Part 2)

What I Did:

More progress was done in this session! Some of the things done are the following:

• created a name tag & health bar for characters
• added instructions to the info page
• started a ReadMe (will be improved on)
• added a new file (duvoeins_settings.py) to adjust questions chosen in the database

Honestly, I’m really happy with what I’ve done over the past 10 devlogs! I wonder what will happen by Devlog #20?

I will continue working on the gameplay… we’re inching closer towards a fully playable program!

Devlog #9: Progress

What I Did:

I took a very long break, but I was able to come back today! I did a lot of things, but here are the major things:

• finished creating the base of players’ characters
• created a better “arena” background
• linked Python program to the .json file

I will continue working on the gameplay!

Devlog #8: Gameplay Loading…

What I Did:

I set up the foundation to work on the gameplay. I have a small question bank in .json (screenshotted that since I have nothing else to show), a blank screen, and a small Character class!

Github Commit(s):

https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/1e1e41e6983fd23b53de307c458ac4008cb98407

Next Up:

In my next session, I will continue working on the gameplay!

P.S. Main reason to make this devlog is to show at an Expedition!

Devlog #7: Selection Is Done

What I Did:

I did a lot of things in the past sessions, including finishing up the selection mechanic and starting the gameplay. With the current program, working on gameplay can now begin!

Github Commit(s):https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/6dd5a23de88b436c12e9206e3bbc14375d49e09d

Next Up:

In my next session, I will start working on the gameplay!

Devlog #6: Basic Stats

What I Did:

It took some trial & error, but the stats menu finally works as intended! By pressing 1-4 on the 2nd selection screen, you can see basic information.

https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/650ac1c44b2586e8a0801187b37b03ee65dae4dahttps://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/aae70fc73cabe5a642e75c04108f830e3b269f55

Next Up:

In my next session, I will make the second selection screen allow each player to select a character (via triple pressing a key), rather than just the stats shown.

Devlog #5: Character Grid Graphic & Three More Files

What I Did:

First of all, I added the character grid (without stats & selection mechanic). Secondly, I split my code into four different files, improving readability by a lot! I was going to continue working, but I wanted to publish a devlog first.

Github Commit(s):

https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/f10ce740a106347836616f34555354be7c73d8de

Next Up:

In my next session, I will make the second selection screen work, allowing the player(s) to select a character!

Devlog #4: Player Name Customization

What I Did:

In my past session(s) of coding, I focused on allowing the players to customize their name! Now, each player has a customized username for the round they are playing, allowing players to better connect to the game.

Next Up:

In my next session, I will make the second selection screen, involving simple characters & basic stats!

Devlog #3: Getting Into The Game

What I Did:

Today, I focused on making an info screen (with instructions coming soon!) and starting on the first selection screen, allowing players to type in their names. I wanted to write this devlog before I continue working on the typing mechanic due to the amount of progress & time I have spent.

Github Commit(s):

https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/c4d71da3cc1f0890666f09c0d4444017a8ec35b2

Next Up:

In my next session, I will lock in and make the typing mechanic for the 1st selection screen work! Then, I’ll start on the 2nd selection screen (characters)!

Devlog #2: Just The Beginning

What I Did:

I focused, in this session, on getting the START and INFO buttons to appear & make the background look better. I also sorted out my functions and started the mechanic for the buttons mentioned above.

Github Commit(s):

https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/bcc683b7d776d8275721a71e24541b1d0189ae7c

In my next session, I will focus on making the START and INFO buttons work, and maybe start the SELECTION screens!

Devlog #1: The Humble Start to Duvo Eins

What I Did:

This is the start of Duvo Eins, a duel-style learning app! After I tinkered with some window settings, I created the beginning to the start screen, adjusting the title little by little until it looked the best to me!

GitHub Commit(s):

https://github.com/davidv3767/Duvo-Eins/commit/6c81a82a681d124c7b7eafac3cc968cccd1dac44

Next Up:

I’ll be continuing to improve the start screen! I’ll add some buttons and change the background to look nicer!
