__NOTOC__


== News ==
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]'''.


I'm still here, but I haven't gotten around to doing much development lately.  I've been playing too many RPGs on the XBox 360.  The latest changes are still in the Subversion repository (conversion to OpenGL, rewritten font code, etc).
== Updates ==


'''Legend of Tux version 0.8 released''' on February 6, 2010!  Download it at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/legendoftux/ SourceForge]
=== April 2025 ===

I started development on the Legend of Tux 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.   
New build script for quick building on Windows, Mac, and Linux
Associated "in order" and "reverse order" jingles for Toei subway lines (Mita, Shinjuku, Oedo)
Added Tozai line reverse jingles
Removed line_station_jingle Excel and CSV files.  Added jingle UUID to in_order and reverse_order fields in the line_station data file.  Reduces the number of files to maintain.
Jingles are now stored with UUID filename and referenced by UUID in data file.  Reduced duplicate jingle music files. Jingles are now specific for each line. Added capability for in-order and reverse-order jingles.
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.
Trains now spawn based on schedule entered into data file (Excel export to CSV)
Added kana display for internal LCD screen
Trains now spawn in alternating route directions
Updated LCD screens. Reordered line input data file by line number.
Updates to inside LCD screen
Added internal LCD screen with next stop name and number Fixed problem with ward map and background overlapping.
Added voice for remaining stations Updated method for loading voice audio.  By Resource folder and file name, to eliminate having to associate each file with an AudioSource gameobject.
Trains now have correct number of cars based on the number defined for the line in the line data file Corrected scale of train
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.


The controls are simple. Use the arrow keys (or a,s,d,w) to move and spacebar to attack. Press f to throw your hat boomerang, which will stun enemies.  Hold spacebar to charge your sword to shoot it. Collect a power orb 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 complete a level.  Finish all eight levels to win the game.
=== March 2025 ===
* 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.
Fixed issue with rail line display overlapping for lines that share same source and destination stations
Ward map is now transparent
Can now toggle the size of the route map in the lower right corner by clicking on it. Added buttons to switch language of Route Map between English and Japanese.
  Ward map fixes
Added train icon to ward map
Added Marunouchi line
Added ward map with pins showing stations, trains, and flashing for currently selected train
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.


The Legend of Tux is free software. The source code is available on SourceForge.  I am attempting to document the entire software development process.
=== 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]]


== Controls ==
=== 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 ==
'''Game Design'''
'''Version 0.9 Patch Notes''' (In Development)
*[https://ldjam.com/users/levidsmith/ Ludum Dare]
*Making an attempt to use OpenGL through SDL for drawing, which will hopefully take advantage of hardware graphics acceleration (cards/chips), so that I can try to get 60 FPS running at 1024x768 resolution;  I tried making a 640x480 low resolution version, but it just didn't look very good at all
<!-- *[http://ludumdare.com/compo/author/gatechgrad/ Ludum Dare (Legacy)] -->
**See my progress with the OpenGL conversion here: [[OpenGL]]
*[https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=24595#m Lexaloffle (Pico-8)]
*After converting to OpenGL, the room scroll code no longer works, since it relied upon a new SDL_Surface to be blitted to the screen
*[https://gm48.net/user/182/levi-d-smith GM48]
*Added new font code, so it now uses a PNG image for the fonts instead of the SDL_ttf libraries (which required another library, which I can't think of the name right now). This should make things simpler, however I will probably need to write a another program to generate the PNG image with the font letters placed correctly.
<!-- *[https://madewith.unity.com/profiles/levi-d-smith-games Made with Unity] -->
*Tested the game on my laptop a few weeks ago. There was a very noticeable problem with most of the images. I determined that the problem was due to the images not being sized by a power of 2, because the images that were 32x64 and 32x32 would still display correctly.

'''Version 0.8 Patch Notes''' (Stable Release)
<!--
*Gamepad and joystick now supported in addition to the keyboard
'''Crowdfunding'''
*Added license documentation for all the sound effects and music on the [[Adding Music]] page;  I also updated the three sound effects using files from a creative commons library site;  The old sound effects were also free and redistributable, but I can't remember exactly where I got them
*[https://www.patreon.com/levidsmith Patreon]
*Added new sound effects
-->
**Menu select
**Level select
**Sword charge
**Player Hit
**Player Dies
*Attempt made to reduce CPU usage
*Fixed issues when scrolling to the next room
*Now using the SDL_Image library to load images
*Replaced all BMPs with PNGs (a lot of effort was put into this, with only a smaller distribution package to show for it)
**Added transperancy to PNGs that had the magenta color for transperancy, and cleared the magenta color so it is now transperant;  Using "SetColorKey" on a PNG made the program crash, so the magenta color was no longer an option.
**The size of the images on disk is now somewhat smaller, however the program still uses about the same amount of RAM;  Plus, the framerate for some levels (Astro) has dropped (below 30 FPS)
*The sword projectile path now varies depending on the sword charge level;  splits into 2 for a level 2 charge; splits into 4 for a level 3 charge
*Fixed sword display issues and increased the length of the sword
*Added unique enemies for each level, but I haven't done the "attacked" animations yet
*Pasted eyeballs on each of the attacked sprites

<!-- *[http://www.speedrunslive.com/profiles/#!/GaTechGrad/1 SpeedRunsLive] -->

*Added ability to save which levels have been completed by pressing "v" from the title menu;  Pressing "l" on the title menu will load the saved game;  Additional menu options will need to be added
*Added "Loading" message on startup;  On slower systems, it may take around 30 seconds to load all of the image files
*The player can no longer move while swinging the sword
*Fixed collision detection problem of player being able to walk horizontally through an enemy without getting hit
*Got SDL_ttf working, and I wrote my own custom methods to display text to the screen
*Added level play time and FPS for debugging display at the top of the screen
*Added unique music for each stage
*Added boss music for the last room in each level
*Added Sound Effects
**Sword swing
**Enemy Defeated
**Orb Pickup
*Added charge meter at the top of the screen that fills up as the sword is charged;  Once the meter is full, the charge level increases; There is a current maximum of 3 levels, but currently the charge levels do not produce any different effects

** Move 2 or 3 tiles, and then change in random direction (Octorok)
** Wake up and chase when enemy is near (WoW mob/Metal Gear)
** Chase player when player has back turned to enemy (ex SMB "Boo Buddy")
** Jumping Enemy (Tektike)
*Need options screen to change sound/music volume, change control options, etc
*Need ability to save and continue
**<font color="blue">Preliminary save/load code added, but a screen is needed to manage saving and loading files... or implement an autosave feature</font>
*Add additional powerups;  These should be temporary powerups
**Increase attack power
**Invincibility
**Speed Increase
*Add boss enemies
**Boss enemies should be graphically larger than regular enemies
**Boss enemies should have more strategy to defeat then a regular enemy
**Boos enemy should be the last enemy of the stage, and the stage is completed once the boss enemy is defeated
*New enemy killed animation
**Replace the hand drawn cloud when an enemy is defeated with something that looks better... maybe a rendered skull that expands
*Make better level complete screen
*Add two rows of blocks to the tops of all rooms, so that the player won't overlap with the status bar

<!-- *[https://levidsmith.com/historical/vgcollection VG Collection] -->
*Thinking about having the special items as pickups throughout the level... similar to Ninja Gaiden;  That way the player doesn't have to beat the entire level to get a weapon, plus it gives more options for making puzzles
 
*Add ability to move to rooms from top/bottom of the screen
 
*Game load screen, and add a saving interface
 
*Add more items;  bombs will probably be next, with the ability to destroy certain walls like Bomberman
 
*Improve enemy AI;  look at AI algorithms/engines
 
*Not a huge issue, but I've noticed that I can get up to 400 FPS when using OpenGL on some systems, but I get a constant 60 FPS on other (higher powered) systems (without adding SDL_Delays). Do certain versions of SDL or certain versions of the opengl32.a library automatically delay after 60 FPS is reached (without explicitly adding SDL_Delay statements)?

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.
