A month ago, I dusted off Air Combat 3, a game I wrote in Java in 2010 in AP CS. It was the third version of the game (AC2 came out in 2009 and AC1 came out in 2008) and the second written in Java (AC1 was done in VB). The name will be changed for the 4th version. It will be something like Nova Combat or something suitably corny but not horrible. If I pick a name too generic there is already a game out there with that name. So I am starting with housekeeping. Air Combat 3 was really bad in terms of understanding my own code. Variables named xyz. I think to myself, "I wonder what that could be?" It makes it very hard to follow so I need t reform my naming and commenting, spacing, etc so I can actually read my own work 3 years later. I also need to do something about the repetitiveness and the copy/pasting all over. I need to make a method that will allow all of this to be compacted. Efficiency will definitely help. Afterward, there's a few bugs from AC3 that need to be figured out. Some new levels should be added. I might even add a death count and a kill count and thus a KDR to compare between accounts. A new interface will be needed to display this. There is already a high scores system but it only shows the #1 player. Getting the game into an applet and hosted online would be excellent. That would take this to the next level for sure. There is lots to do and many new ideas to be come up with. Hopefully I'll find the time to make some more progress. EDIT: I just found a variable named 'shrub'. It represents an integer value for a loop. It is such a baseless name that I have decided to keep it.

The last game was impressive for a one man job. Make sure you post up a copy when you got something good going. |

I will definitely post it up if I'm onto something good. Just reforming the syntax is going to take hours. Lesson learned. |
