Neil Toledo - Sprint #2 - Daily Scrum #05

Product: Tetris2P AI
Sprint Summary

The scope of the project has somehow branched into a mini game ‘engine’

Need a system for scenes
Need a system for ‘game objects’, prefabs
Think in terms of Unity, objects and components
Objects need a way to:
- Render
- Update
Mainly concerned with how to manage ‘animations’ that take non negligible times to display
- Every moving object needs a timer, change to the next frame of an animation everytime delta amount of time
Global way of referencing scripts?
Lmao need to split everything between:
- Game Engine
- Game Development Interface
- Actual HECKING Game

What does the Game Engine need to know and do?

Update the correct objects
Render the correct objects
Need to establish a current Scene
- Within the scene there’s a list of active objects
  - Active objects could have a list of active objects
- Scene updates and draws all the active objects in specific orders
What information needs to be passed between Engine → Scene → Objects
- Mostly just time, and timers? The scene shouldn’t have to keep track of the uh global timer/clock
- The scene should calculate everything based off ‘update ticks’
- The engine should only update the current scene when there’s an ‘update tick’
- This is mostly kinda explained already, but I want to create a bit of abstraction between entities.
- So other objects within the game can update based off the current update tick instead of having to worry about the entire ‘time delta’ mumbo jumbo
- Ok ^^ that statement made things make sense for me
- GAME OBJECTS ASSUME THEIR UPDATE FUNCTIONS ARE CALLED AT DISCRETE TIME PERIODS
- THE GAME ENGINE MAKES SURE THE GAME OBJECTS CAN MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION
- I MEANT TO SAY ‘GAME FRAMEWORK’ instead of ‘GAME ENGINE’
How do I write sufficient documentation for this
BTW SPRINT IS EXTENDED ALONG WITH THE PROJECT SCOPE
