Game Development - A barebones idle game


I like to show progress on what I'm making. As said in the prior post, I might possibly make a idle game. As seen in the image above, I was writing down the function of things and actions in idle games like Cookie Clicker and AdVenture Capitalist. I am sorry if it is hard to read, I am not good a writing, though I find it to better write down thoughts rather than to type them out.



During Thanksgiving Day I encoded a simple idle game: the barebones clicker. The first one I made has nothing but a button, a number of currency one has. I used HTML5 and JavaScript for this.

This unfortunately took longer than I thought. I had to figure out how to update text on a page with JavaScript. I figured it out through looking at some incremental tutorials by David Holley, the person who made CivClicker. 

Currently, I am working to advance what I made. I added currency generators to the game, though they have issues. As I am sticking to the minimum, there will likely be no styling beyond headers and regular text. By next week, or in a while less, I will probably post an update on the status of the advancements I made. Perhaps I can make this a little more engaging, as most other idle games do.

Version 2:The Not-So Barebones Clicker

Image
I was originally going to make this post tomorrow, but due to events I am doing it today when I can. As seen, I have updated the Barebones Clicker to become a Not-So Barebones Clicker. This is now more than just a button and a counter. As you can see, one of the big changes was generators. There are currently three of them. These are not really made to be fair though, as I'm pretty sure some are way more efficiant than others, but I wasn't really concerned with that.An interesting part about the generators is that if you try to buy them and you don't got the money, a message will appear for a few seconds telling you that you can't afford it. Another big change included was the save. This is not a good save, as it just relies on cookies. Yet, you can refesh the page, and the numbers will still be there (given that one saves and loads). This took hours to code, specifically to make functional. I went to Dhmstark again along with stackexchange for coding help. S

A Prime Factorization Algorithm that Uses a Text File

Image
A post that is at least within two week of the last one? This will hopefully be the new norm. I was about to get this out two days prior, but Github had some issues when I was about to upload it on the first day. I got this uploaded to Github the yesterday, but it was late, so I didn't make a post. Nevertheless, it's time to talk about this code. I have created a python program that shall do prime factorization when given an integer. You can find it here on Github .  The Background So this is another program requested by my computer science teacher. He demanded a program that would be given a number and return the prime factors of it along with how many times each was used (and specifically in the order you see in the program's output). Initially, I though this was an easy program. There's a rule I've known since middle school on how to prime factorize: Start by dividing the number by 2 for as many times possible When you can no longer divide by 2, div

Aesthetico Ultimate Designer - A Python Turtle Program

Image
In the last post on my previous work, I tried to use a program I made in my Python class. It used the Turtle module to make lines. However, it seems that I forgot to save the code for that (and I didn't have a Repl account back then). So I just put something else up instead.  Over December, I've tried to remake that program I once made before on REPL . This is the best thing I could recreate, since I did not have anything to build upon other than the memory of it.  It's a simple program. It will ask which direction and degree the line should turn to. It then asks what type of line to make, and then it creates the line. You can continue on and create more lines, or simply end it.  I tried to keep up this somewhat professional and Aesthetic look back when I first made it long ago. I used colours from an Aesthetic colour pallet, and I had every word between dashes. I will say, it somewhat looks cool.   I will say, however, that this remake is not as good a
