'''Legend of Tux'''
__NOTOC__


Domain name registered: [http://www.legendoftux.com http://www.legendoftux.com]
This is the Workshop area for the latest project development updates. For the complete listing of released games, please see '''[https://levidsmith.com/game-list/ LD Smith Games]'''.


Compiled stable Windows and Linux binaries, which I uploaded to www.legendoftux.com.  Noticed a graphical glitch with the blue orbs on the Linux version.
== Updates ==


=== April 2025 ===


== Concept ==
* New Game '''[https://levidsmith.com/games/conway-shooter Conway Shooter 0x7e9]'''


I started development on the Legend of Tux a in August 2009. I wanted to create a game that combined the gameplay of a Mega Man game and the original Legend of Zelda. I had developed a Zelda clone using updated graphics in 2003, using ClanLib libraries. In 2006 I created an engine for a tux Zelda style game using SDL, but it wasn't very good. I didn't have much time to devote to it, since I was working on a master's degree in industrial engineering outside of my full time job.

[[File:Conway-shooter 06.jpg|200px|frameless|Conway Shooter 0x7e9]]
[[File:Conway-shooter 07.jpg|200px|frameless|Conway Shooter 0x7e9]]


The controls are simple. Use the arrow keys (or a,s,d,w) to move and spacebar to attack. Hold spacebar to charge your sword to shoot it. Collect 3 orbs of the same color to get a 3x attack power boost against enemies of that color. Defeat all enemies in a room to move to the next room. Clear all 16 rooms to win.
* Updates to '''[https://levidsmith.com/games/subway-simulator Subway Simulator]'''


Gameplay is completely linear. Move one room to the next until you reach the boss room and defeat the boss. The one aspect that I hate the most about Zelda style games is trying to determine where to go next.

== Screenshots ==
New build script for quick building on Windows, Mac, and Linux
'''Screenshots from the first stable release, version 0.2'''
Associated "in order" and "reverse order" jingles for Toei subway lines (Mita, Shinjuku, Oedo)

Fix quit button
Latest build.  Added schedule departure times to the top of the screen.
Added remaining station names in kana
Reworked how lat lon values are calculated. Still not able to get 5 decimal places of precision with lon.  According to documentation, the unity transform to not completely accurate.  Went ahead and set the display to 4 decimal places in the GUI.
Added constant variables and static functions for changing between lat/lon and game X/Y space
Fixed camera issue with train is destroyed after it reaches destination. Updated train select control so that it loops.  Removed first and last train buttons.

New station voices added Fixed problem with train skipping Tokyo station on Yamanote loop
Added Tozai line jingles
Added Namboku line
Added Hanzomon line
Added background plane to ward model for traveling over water and outside the 23 wards.
Separate train and line materials no longer needed for each line.  Material color now set based on line hex color code in Resource CSV file.
Added Chiyoda line
Updates to options GUI menu
Updates to train and line selection.  Multiple trains now generated on each line.

=== March 2025 ===
* Updates to '''[https://levidsmith.com/games/subway-simulator Subway Simulator]'''


'''Screenshots of development, version 0.3'''
Fixed issue with rail line display overlapping for lines that share same source and destination stations
Ward map is now transparent

Audio now only plays for the currently selected train
Added operating speed for lines.  Trains will not exceed the operating speed on their line. Added Ginza line data.
Oedo line added
Trains now decelerate ("brake") at appropriate time to stop at next station. Fixed trains at end of line now go in reverse station line (instead of going to start of line). Added loop variable to line so that trains on loop lines at the last stop continue to the first stop in the line.
Data for 5 lines completed. Lines are now prefabs and loaded through the data files instead of manually created.
Added Slideshow mode, switching selected train view every 10 seconds
Working build with multiple train lines
Updates to make distances and travel times more accurate. New statistics displayed on screen such as location (lat and lon), speed (m/s, km/h, mph), time since last station, and total time. Station data such as name and location are now read from a CSV file.
New station model. Reworked map, now static overlay. Reworked title screen.

=== January 2024 ===
* '''[https://levidsmith.com/games/bag-boy/ Bag Boy]''' - New release with updated gameplay and graphics
[[File:Bag-boy 20240121 02.jpg|200px|frameless|Bag Boy]]


=== October 2023 ===
* Migrated site to new server.  Working on getting website components working again. (main site, workshop wiki, leaderboards, historical pages).
* Looks like I lost the Jetpack stats for the main site.  A real disappointment, since it contained visit statistics for almost 10 years.
* Thinking about putting the leaderboard scores on its own subdomain (such as scores.levidsmith.com), but want to avoid having to update URLs compiled into game projects.
* Removed many of the old game wiki pages with little information.  Current plan is to use the workshop (wiki) for development documentation for new projects, then have the "official" pages on the main levidsmith.com site.  That should keep a clear separation between development and release information for projects.
* Fewer games created this year due to burnout.  Want to spend the time I do have on making existing games better and create fewer throwaway projects.


== Patch Notes ==
[[Update Archive]]
'''Version 0.3 Patch Notes'''
*New Rendered sprites for Tux and snowmen (Thanks Blender!)


*Background music now working
**Title screen:  Brahms Hungarian Dance No 2
**Level select:  Brahms Hungarian Dance No 5
**Level 0: Vivaldi Four Seasons Winter


*Boomerang mechanics now added, but boomerang doesn't interact with enemy... also need to dynamically calculate the return slope


*Added level select screen
<!--
[http://eepurl.com/bOKWzL Subscribe to the mailing list to receive updates!]
-->


*Title screen updated with new 3D render using Blender
<!--
[[File:header.jpg]]
[[File:LevidsmithFlyer.jpg|256px|thumb|right|Levi D. Smith Games flyer]]
-->


*Title menu updated, with the menu items (Start, Quit) selectable with the up and down arrow keys (or w and s keys), and choosable with the spacebar or enter keys.  This will make adding new menu items (such as continue, load game, credits, etc) much easier.
== Tools ==


*Removed the power orb FIFO pipe.  Now you only need one orb to get the 3x attack bonus. Now only one orb displayed at the top of the screen.
* [[Unity Build Tool]] - Update and build multiple Unity projects at once.  Upload to game hosting sites and more.
* [[Timelapse Maker]] - Make timelapse video from video clips

*Added calculations to make collision blocks rounded if it is surrounded by two non-collision blocks
== Links ==


== Brainstorming ==


*"Mega Man" style level select screen - Maybe make the first ice stage mandatory, with a cutscene following, then the user can select the stage they wish to play.

*After a boss is defeated, Tux will acquire a special weapon related to the defeated boss


*Question: Should certain special weapons be required to complete stages?  Should certain special weapons grant access to hidden areas?

*Question: Should the player be able to extend their maximum life?  This may give an unfair advantage in later stages. Maybe have health boosts within the level to extend your life, but they would disappear after the level is over (like SMB2)

'''Audio'''
*[https://soundcloud.com/ldsmith42/sets SoundCloud]


*Instead of having the 3 orb bouns give you 3x power against enemies of that color, have the 3 orb bonus apply a special effect to your weapon. For instance, 3 red orbs will make your sword have flames, which will set enemies on fire when you hit them, which causes additional periodic damamge. Having 3 blue orbs would give your weapon the chill effect that will frezze enemies when you hit them. Three yellow orbs could give you shields or something.

*Add a total orb count... Decision:
<!--
** Make orbs like money to buy items
'''Discovery Engine'''
** Make orbs add energy/magic, which will allow you to perform special attacks

-->
<!-- *[https://www.reddit.com/r/LeviDSmithGames/ LD Smith Games Subreddit] -->


* Instead of having a visible orb FIFO pipe displayed at the top of the screen, have a picture of your sword that glows with the currently collected orb... the glow becomes brighter until 3 orbs of the same color are collected and you get the bonus
<!--
'''Crowdfunding'''
*[https://www.patreon.com/levidsmith Patreon]
-->


* Thinking about removing orbs all together... instead have your sword charged with the color with the last enemy killed. Having the sword charged with that color will make hits on all other enemies of that color 1 hit kills

January 2024

  • Bag Boy - New release with updated gameplay and graphics

Bag Boy

October 2023

  • Migrated site to new server. Working on getting website components working again. (main site, workshop wiki, leaderboards, historical pages).
  • Looks like I lost the Jetpack stats for the main site. A real disappointment, since it contained visit statistics for almost 10 years.
  • Thinking about putting the leaderboard scores on its own subdomain (such as scores.levidsmith.com), but want to avoid having to update URLs compiled into game projects.
  • Removed many of the old game wiki pages with little information. Current plan is to use the workshop (wiki) for development documentation for new projects, then have the "official" pages on the main levidsmith.com site. That should keep a clear separation between development and release information for projects.
  • Fewer games created this year due to burnout. Want to spend the time I do have on making existing games better and create fewer throwaway projects.
