So what did I do for Tuesday? I spent three hours hacking RubyTet. As for Space Fighter Ace, I must say that project didn’t go much anywhere. So RubyTet got most of the love. Even in the final hour, I still hack RubyTet until halfway to finishing my session. Then, I simply begin work on finishing the eventqueue update for rbpong and then finding and installating syntax highlighting mediawiki extension for the Rubygame book.

RubyTet got it easy. Unlike Space Fighter Ace, it doesn’t involve physics and mathematics. Still, I have to write algorithms and figure out how it will all work. I spent a little more than one hour doing it on papers. So progress wasn’t really visiable in term of commits. However, I developed two very useful algorithm to do the work. They are the translation aglorithm and change configuration algorithm. After that, I just write code the rest of the day. It wasn’t very high level work since it mostly involve implementing really easy stuff just so I can make use of the algorithms to do their pretty cool work. I have one more algriothm to develop though. That’s the algorithm for offseting location so I can make use of the configurations anywhere on the map.

I was pretty much on a bug-hunting mission with Space Fighter Ace. I tried a bunch of way to make it move. None of them didn’t work. So I wrote a test program to learn the true nature. I only learned that setting your vector to 0,0 isn’t a good idea. Jacius came on and so I pestered him about Ftor again. Because I somehow managed to misunderstand what Jacius said about Ftor, he gave me a link so I can finally understand what vectors are about. At that point, I pretty much give up developing Space Fighter Ace for the day and focus all my energy on rubytet. I figured I learn about vector the next day and implement my understanding to the Space Fighter Ace after that.

In the last hour, I was ready for a break from the RubyTet project, so I just focused on my Rubygame tutorial as the end of the day project.

Happy hacking
