Week 7
I have been really slack with the blog..
Quick summary of what we have covered since the last post
- ActiveRecord
- Rails
- Project01
- Spit to Manly — with beer
- Dress up as Joel day
- Starting Ajax
Overview of Project01
For this project I decided to have another go at playing with phaser considering I never completed my project0 game attempt.
I found last weeks supercharged database lessons intense. Attempting to write notes of the millions of steps as well as code along in class was a challenge and left me drained so i spend most of the long weekend relaxing apart from getting my user login system working.
Fastforward..
I ended up making a fairly simple game incorporating ajax to create a live updating high score system. There are a few changes and bugs I would like to make before I finish the course but overall I am happy.
There are no levels, the game is progressive. The more points you accumulate the the faster the enemies and player get. At certain levels of point accumulation an additional enemy will be added to the spawner. The goal is to be at the top of the leaderboard.

Spit to Manly

On Sunday the class did the traditional Spit to Manly walk followed by many beers at the Bavarian beer cafe, It was a nice finish end to the week!
