Following my last update, and fortunately for me (and the project), someone has come forward to help out with the graphics – Colin Wren is his name (see his site here), and he’s a top man.
The graphics Colin supplies are in .dae format, and with a lot of help from this site (Tipu’s iTiger) and an XML parser (TBXML), and much head scratching, we got the models going nicely.
At the moment they’re not animated, but they will be soon…
Other things now in there are bombs and collisions. To aid testing on the simulator I’ve added an auto-jump feature on the player – a collision in the x or y plane makes him/her jump. This also works quite nicely when testing on hardware so I may keep it (maybe as an option). I’ve also updated to the latest version of the 71Squared Sound Manager.
The button top left flicks between the male and female model – other controls as before (bomb button now works of course).
So, still plenty of things to be done, but slowly and surely it’s coming together.
Here’s the latest project folder:
