Game Design Week 2

Here's another list of things to help make tomorrow's presentation easier

completed

• menu/edit/action/game over states
• button functionality in all modes (but no actions associated yet for help/score)
• tower generator algorithm
• path drawing abilities
• creep path movement and tower attacks
• partial path-checking algorithms
• most of the sounds (though many are not currently implemented)
• the ability to play indefinitely

upcoming

• all completed artwork
• tower projectiles
• instructions/story
• high score menu allowing users to save to a file on their hard drive
• the ability to see the radius of a tower upon pointer hovering
• finalization of the points system
• improving path analysis/verification and fixing special game cases that cause it to crash
• possible forking paths (don't hold your breath)
• cues to fire more sound effects

 if we can get all this done, i'll be proud of our three-week long project where 2/3 of the programmers were unfamiliar with XNA. i can't wait to give our presentation because i know it will be great. and i'm sure everyone else's will too.
