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!
