i'm going to post some progress we've been making:
- double elimination is nearly completely programmed, i just have to write something that handles the starting/ending of loser's matches and write the bracket visualizer. if i actually get work done today expect testing to start either tomorrow or thursday. for those of you who don't know what double elimination is, its a type of tournament where instead of dying once to be thrown out you have to die twice. if you die once you get thrown into a special tournament bracket where you battle other people who have died once. if you beat this loser's bracket, you'll be able to fight the winner of the normal tournament. here's what i mean:
http://www.garycact.us/i/MUHVN05U.jpeg imagine the numbers are players and you'll be able to follow their progress through the tournament.
- gambling is a thing you can do when you don't want to spectate other players; we're making progress on the build for that. for gambling, you'll be able to gamble away paperbags in slot machines in the hopes of getting more paperbags or maybe special hats or some stuff
- also in the tournaments casino there'll be other games like connect four and maybe blackjack if i figure out what blackjack is
- because we're adding gambling stuff we're going to add a spectate mode which will be a mode that won't auto-enter you into the tournament
updates planned:
- new hats courtesy of trogtor (probably will be added today)
- titles a la boss battles but there'll be emoticon titles too (will be added within the next week)
- maybe trails but we haven't decided on that yet
- making a client gui for the easy creation of weapons groups
- maybe cleaning up the code if i'm bored one day in my computer science class or some stuff
- a release in the gamemodes section
