What's Done and What isn't?
If I miss anything forgive me its the middle of the night and i am totally lost. Plus C++ and python and so many other things are just driving me crazy (lol like i wasnt before :P). This update isnt as great as I hoped it would be but there is some progress, especially made by Fariha, so here's to that. Now to get on with a few boring details before i end this update (I know you couldnt care less about all that you just want to read my blabbering, but see the point of this blog is to discuss the project so please bear with me :P).
So we have managed to get the console based version of the game and we also know how to work with the images and get them where we want by linking them to the screen. The problem now is in getting the animation. If we make a 2D animation first just to be safe and then we start on a 3D animation that would be waste, especially as we have very less time. However, we do not know for sure exactly how the 3D animation will work and now we are figuring that out.
Now as for the console based code it uses lists of course, and it actually allows the user to decide how many disks the tower should be of. The code for the solution of the hanoi is actually a really long code as we decided not to go with the recursive method. The recursive method may have been shorter but we were not sure how that could be animated and how each move could be show. I actually tried a bunch of ways that just gave weird outputs.
This screenshot doesn't show the worst of it but this is one issue. However, as you can see the rings look nice no? :P The point is that we know better how to get it to work through loops and conditionals and so that is how we made the solution. Well that is it for now. Need to catch up on sleep and to projects (need to catch up to the semester as a whole actually but eh ). Thanks for reading these tired ramblings and please hope that me and Fariha manage to finish this properly because we just have what? a day and a about 20 hours? But we don't need luck because we can do this! ( a little false optimism can go a long way hehe :P :) ).
