• Actually decided on doing this concept
• We met and did some basic risk analysis.
• Made a timeline of prototypes
• Basic work breakdown study for each prototype

November 10:

• Risk analysis for our physics engine
  • (advantages, disadvantages to doing our own and using ODE)
• Decided to create our own engine
• Worked out the details of our collision algorithm
• Designed an intro/setup menu system (Storyboard.ppt)
• Designed a HUD for gameplay information
• Wrote a bunch of shit in the wiki

November 14:

• Integrated Sean's and Chris's code bases
• Worked out the class structure and a rough UML diagram
• Tested the driving engine on the courses (it's buggy!)
• Until we meet again...
  • Chris will:
    • Make a skeleton project reflecting our UML
    • Context sharing (for textures)
    • File loading
  • Sean will:
    • Continue working on collisions
    • Move collision code into skeleton
  • John will:
    • Make a good camera
    • Start on the input handlers

November 17:

• Integrated our most recent code.
• Added some sounds.
• Now loads starting points from course XML file.
• Loads number of laps from course XML file.
• Added winning condition.
• Documentation, documentation, documentation.
• For next time:
  • Sean will:
    • Make golf cart movement like our first game
    • Implement a hand brake
    • Implement a second cart
    • Cart-cart collisions
  • John will:
    • Create a second course
    • Cart rotation based on momentum instead of wheel rotation
  • Chris will:
    • Work on DirectSound?
    • Create an animatable golf cart subclass of the Milkshape model class

November 22:

• Created presentation for class on Tuesday
• Reviewed some design elements
• For Thanksgiving break:
  • Sean will:
    • Keep working on bullets
    • Implement AI
    • Keep working on collisions
  • Chris will:
    • Networking!
  • John will:
    • Work on kart animation
    • Create second course
    • Heads up display
