First Intro

-

Now that proofs are done, I'm working towards final code. I'm also working towards first kept code. But getting this game started, I wanted to really set the tone for graphics quality, stylization, and effects. Now that I have a good visual, I want to keep that up. 

This video features the ship just spinning in a circle, so I'm hoping to add controls next. However, music was added as an after thought. I might try to get that in next as well. I.e. it was edited into the video, along with the text and fades.

Setting up Roslyn Parser In Unity

-

So, I did manage to get the Roslyn C# Parser partially running, on the last commits of the Proof development. Now I'm putting Roslyn back in.  As I'm finding the same hurdles I thought I would call them out more clearly for others to tread. Generated on WordClouds.com , from sample C# parsed by Roslyn SyntaxTree First off, it wasn't a straight forward install, of just add this package and go. The first step was to install NuGet for Unity, as found here: ( https://github.com/GlitchEnzo/NuGetForUnity ). Instructions and download are there. Keep in mind: NuGet Packages are typically designed for Visual Studio solutions, but this is Unity. Many packages will not work out of the box. Roslyn is no exception. So now, with NuGet running, we need to pull in Roslyn. Search for "Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp" and pull it in. Once done, there will be a handful of errors, relating to references being missing or incompatible.  So now we need to fix those errors. Now, ...

C# Parser Part 2

Recap for anyone who didn't read the posts on the last article .  I found Roslyn, an open source project on github by Microsoft, that includes a C# parser.  Unfortunately, it did a lot, like also cover VB, compiler abilities, Visual Studio extensions, tools and more; >240K unit tests.  I didn't expect all these features to work once pulled into Unity, especially the VS plugins, so I took an approach to start hacking pieces off I didn't think were needed. Unfortunately, this started me down a long path that in the end I don't trust.  I think Roslyn has a good chance of working for me, but not in this way. When I was done axe-wielding a keyboard, I had stripped off dozens of projects, hundreds of files and thousands of lines of code. It had all the precision of a bull in a tea shop, and the end result (8 hours of effort later) resulted in eleven hundred failed test cases.  :( Don't get me wrong, I ended up with only 25% of the test cases left, nearly all fo...

How to Setup a Multi-Scene Unity Project for Startup

Scene loading played an important role in this, and I believe my approach is pretty sound and proven highly useful. Let me know what you think, and what ideas you tend to apply for handling this. When developing in a multi scene project in Unity, one of the most annoying things I've worked with in the past, is the need to boot into the right place. I've worked with and developed dozens of different approaches, most of which falling into custom menu options, or resetting the default loading scene. I want to share a solution I had that is simple, small, and has worked great. General Overview Codavore is broken into several scenes BootStrap, Ui and Level/Scene/Room. Boot Strap guarantees the order of several things like my service locator and a few others. Next there is the Ui, which contains the menus and such. And finally, we have the scene with the content for the game I'm on. There is a fourth, "DontDestroyOnLoad" where Unity puts all its don't destroy object...
