Dino Run – It Starts
To get this project off to a quick start I'm re-imagining a game I made for KaiOS a few years ago.
This is Dino-Run. Not to be confused with the Google Chrome dino game. You run to catch chicken legs and avoid the falling lava rocks.
Replay System
I started writing a replay system.
As soon as a game ends I want it to replay that last game. The idea is to keep track of user input and game entity events.
A simple prop array should do the trick.
I reset the frame counter at endgame. Now instead of tracking user input or having an algorithm run the entity events I trigger the events only at the frame it was fired.
If it works out correctly the replay will automatically loop itself.
Replay Timing issues
The game logic itself took less than an 20 minutes.
Adding little elements takes me a a hell of a lot longer..
The replay system works most of the time. It seems that every once in a while the timing is off. I think the fix is to not rely on the replay collisions and instead record them and manually trigger them.
(NOTE) Turns out it was just a timing issue in my code.
