2019 Annual Production Report

Important!

Dear visitors,

This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.

We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.

At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.

Thank you for understanding.

Currently still under development, Orbital Motion allows an object to move in a circular or elliptical motion. Pending features include: rotate, z-index, and scaling.

[Game Dev] Parallax Y Scaling

Parallax Y Scaling is a selective visual effect. It allows an object to scale depending on its position to the view-port, x-scaling is also an options, creating a z-elevation like effect. Y Scaling makes an object smaller at the top of the view and larger on the bottom.

[Game Dev] Stage Center Scaling

Stage Center Scaling is a selective visual effect. It allows an object to scale depending on its position to the view-port. The object is smaller at the center of the view and larger at the edges.

[Game Dev] Breakout Paddle

Pong has a simple paddle, it reflects an object that collides with it. The more advance Breakout Paddle has a much more complex behavior. The paddle is split in three sections: left, center, right. If the ball hits the left side of the paddle, the ball bounces left. If the ball hits the center, the ball bounces straight. Angle is determine by position.

[Game Dev] 360 Panoramic Defense Shooter (2D)

Schematics have been created from the Perspective Pong game. This scheme allows for a 360 panoramic view and objects come closer towards the center. You can shoot and defend the center.
