• For this week I have polishing some of the visual aspects on my list. Mainly I want to show the user, that there are trains driving on his layout after he submitted his solution. It will be challenging for a number of reasons: Time: Friday, I want to go to the Spiel in Essen. Apart from the boardgame stuff happening there, I was hoping to have a stable version and present it to random strangers. So the day will not…

  • The good: Yesterday I finished off my prototype. I was really surprised and happy that installing it onto my phone was a quick and easy task. The Unity Android setup contained everything that I needed to get my app running. The bad: Of course the day did not go by without any problems. So I started the game up for the first time. And the level did not load. Admittedly I almost expected this, since the levels and localization are…

  • Today was a travelling day. Since I will get closer to the verification of the user solution soon, I needed to think a little about the rest of the UI, and where to put everything.

  • Wow. I am really happy today. My wife went for a conference for one and a half weeks (which is NOT why i am happy 🙂 ) but I will visit the rest of my family for most of that time from tomorrow onwards. I hope to get inspiration for the coming weeks and help out here and there whenever I am not working on the project. That is one good reason to be happy, but the other one is…
