After a few days of working hard on various things, I bare some news that are pretty good!
I am satisfied with what I’ve done these past days, although I did initially expect to get this done sooner. Either way, I think it turned out great!
Yep! The ingredients shelf is (almost) fully functional! All that’s left (that I won’t do yet :) ) is the actual sprite for the shelf to interact with, however that isn’t difficult at all, since all I have to do is replace the current event listener of a keyboard keybind to an interaction with an object (in this case a shelf in the bakery) that will open up a menu: the shelf!
The way this works is you open the menu, and you are able to pick whichever ingredients you want to use for baking a single item. Once mixing them, they are gone. You can only hold one of each ingredient at a time, so no spamming the eggs!
I worked hard on the sprites, and although they’ll surely become better later on - firstly because I’ll get better at pixel art over time, second because I’ll take more time to make everything look nice once most of the actual game is done - they look really nice in my opinion! here is a demo of how it works and showing that the ingredients do indeed register as picked up!
Although it isn’t shown here, the shelf UI will scale with the window if you shrink or enlarge it, it took me a while to figure out, but it works, which is what matters!
More ingredients are bound to be added later on, hence why the shelf looks a bit empty right now. So far these are only the ingredients to make bread and cookies, but obviously more ingredients will be required.
So… the ingredients gather part is more or less done. So what’s the next thing we have to implement? (Not so) Glad you asked!
The Rhythm Game…
Yep. I’m sticking to my idea since I liked it this much. There are a few things to mention beforehand though.
This isn’t a rhythm game. I am only making a section that includes rhythm for the baking minigames. That means multiple things:
