New Google Calendar

Created a new google calendar for the project all meetings and deadlines will appear on here also a plan for development will appear over time and maybe accomplishments.

Meeting 29th June


Thought I would just do an update for everyone after Stu and I met today as to the current state of the project.

First point I'm back from holiday so I'm ready to start coding everything up and starting to develop the app. I'm starting by learning lots of techniques to design the app and practicing them on the iPhone SDK. I already have quite a few applications designed.

This has been decided before but I will just put it on the blog the name of the game has been changed from Cosmic Collisions to Graviton there is also a new logo that I like designed by Jack (included in the post) hopefully this one will not be copyrighted again.

Stu and I just went through some of the design concepts that have been set up. In the dropbox all files need to be placed into more meaningful folder names and the filenames need to explain exactly what the contents are so they are unique also it's helpful when coding if all images have no spaces and start with a lowercase letter e.g "starsBackground.png".

The iphones screen size is 320px width by 480px height so all background images etc need to be this size and app icons are 72px by 72px.

This week Stu and I will be trying to create a mock up of the menu screens in an app and try to more or less get the design of them finished.

Hope this helps

First Post

Hey,

So we just got the blog up and running. I'll be sure to link everyone that we need. Hopefully this will keep everyone up to date about our group (Blue team) and our game, Cosmic Collision.

We've had a lot of meetings and we've boiled our game down to the core elements, so now we're in the process of making all of the art assets. Nice timing, since the programmer is away. We even came up with a jazzy company name. Awesome huh. The game is looking good. We're loving the style that's coming on and will be sure to post pictures shortly.

Thats all for an introduction for now!
