CPP RPG

To-Do

• ObjectSupervisor (maintains collision grid and objects)
• Get GlobalCharacter walking around
• Get collisions working

Relationship between ScriptManager and ResourceManager

• ScriptManager defines methods for loading specific types of objects from scripts.

  • LoadCharacter(lua), LoadObject(lua), LoadSkill(lua), etc
  • Whenever ScriptManager loads from scripts, the resources are stored in the requesting object and the ResourceManager.

• ResourceManager is a holding bin for sprites, sounds, backdrops, etc.

  • All resources are accessible via the object id (int or string?)

• Need to load objects and collision data from Script

Milestones

• ~Collision detection
• ScriptRead class
• Character animations
• Redo collision detection
• Map functional
• Basic fighting w/ enemies
• Basic UI (health, mp, etc)

Notes:

• Detach position from GlobalCharacter. Camera should be independent from Character.
• Store PArty member in GlobalEngine

ObjectSupervisor contain pointer to MapSprite for character MapMode contains VirtualSprite for camera

In Lua set camera to Sprite created in Lua. For pre-tests, we can abstract the Lua functions into test C++.
