Menu and Leaderboard Update

Summary

I haven't posted in a few days, but I have been able to apply quite a few updates to Cat Tap! Below are a few big ticket items I have been able to accomplish in the last few days.

  • Finally get the leaderboard to work and populate
  • Allow the game to recognize a returning user
  • Allow the user to update their name if they want
  • Create a main menu where the player can get used to the controls of the game
  • Create a shortcut to the leaderboard and the main menu
  • Fully leverage my GitHub integration and install my game on my mac!
    • This is what I have always struggled with, but happy I was able to easily clone my project and setup on my Mac
  • Create my first development build and play the game on my iPhone

What's to Come

I can sense the end coming soon for the initial release of Cat Tap. Before the initial release there are a few features I would like to add:

  • More PawerUps and CatTraps (the inverse of PawerUps to make the game more challenging as time goes on)
  • Integration of an "options" menu
    • Allow the user to adjust the volume of the music
    • Allow the user to change the music if they would like
  • Cleaner graphics on the menu
  • Cleaned up ball color to match the scene better

Final Note

Unfortunately I missed the deadline for the One Game A Month jam. However, I am still having fun with this build and looking forward to finishing the game in the next few weeks!
