TODO list

[DiddiLeija]

I'm preparing a TODO with every feature I want to add in version 1.0.0:

• Release blocker!: Fix the collision detector to work with Level 2 and above #4
• Switching from Level 1 to Level 2 raises ValueError #5
• Some mobs are "defeated" without being touched by a bullet #6
• Slimehorn issues #7
• It is possible to step above a Button, and it won't finish the game #8
• For a reason, clouds aren't getting spawned on Level 2 and above #9
• Feat: Scroll back #10
• Feat: Better filesaving system #11
• Better storytelling
  • It should be possible to easily understand the game's storyline
  • We should add better animations to the game's story scenes
• Barriers
  • A type of block that allows the player to move to the right across it, but not left? It would be handy for some level situations
  • Would be superseeded by Feat: Scroll back #10
• Stable world generation
• Multiplayer fixes
• Polished "jump" physics (making them more jump-ish and less fly-ish)
• Coins
• Clouds
• Level/scenes setup
  • Menu
  • Intro sequence
  • Level 1
  • Level 2
  • Level 3
  • Level 4
  • Pre-boss sequence
  • Level 5 (Final boss battle)
    • Coding for the Scaler character, intended to be a real challenge.
  • Closing sequence
  • Death sequences (when a player dies, instead of moving straight to the menu)
• Introduction of NPCs
• A "save" mechanic to save progress (and leave the "roguelike" system of the game) or either start from scratch
  • Save the last-played level
  • Save a coin count
  • Reset the data if we start again
  • Save other data?
• CI integrations
• A GitHub wiki
• A stronger linting strategy
• Limited bullets per player (+ "bullet packs" to refill)
• Player info/coin counter on top the bottom of the screen ¹
• More player options?
• Sprite shading? -- this is a WIP idea I have for making the sprites more visible.

Abandoned/rejected feats:

• "Skins customization" (on a similar way to Major feat: Add-on support diddi-and-the-bugs#137)
  • I left this idea since the game adopted a storyline (which means a static level order). I may take the idea back on a further project, such as the abandoned DiddiLeija/diddi-platforms 😉
• Left to a future release - These are nice ideas, but I'd like to implement them on a future release. By now, they'll keep as TODOs 😉
  • Bullets sent by mobs
  • Moving slimehorns

Footnotes

1. Otherwise, why would I have coins in the game? 😄 ↩

[DiddiLeija]

By now, and due to the "slow development" of the game, I'll use no PRs by now, and instead I'll commit directly to main (starting with 3862d66) 😉

[DiddiLeija]

At this point (de1599b) I'd say Level 1/5 is ready to go! 🎉 🥳
There's still a lot to do, but we have a progress! :)

[DiddiLeija]

At this point (01cef82) Level 2 is live! 🎉
However, I'm having trouble with changing from Level 1 to 2, due to collision detections :/

[DiddiLeija]

Now that #4 and #5 are fixed, and after commit 97f5d11, both levels 2 and 3 are now available to play 🥳

[DiddiLeija]

Ok, so Level 4 is officially live after 4c3b839!

Also, I've added an advanced option to create levels -- gradient colors!

After:

It's still a WIP, and I'll make a few adjustments (colors, rendering, etc) as I develop it.
