Today we continue our game development. I was working on the player's paddle so that the user can use mouse cursor to control the movement of the control. In order to do that I had created an on_mouse method to control the movement of the control. It actually detect the mouse left click and lock the padde to mouse cursor and a mouse move funtion to move according to the mouse cursor. Also, I researched on the internet to look for useful source code to play audio file in my game program. This is to add excitement to the game.

Integrated our application together. Wilson was working on the movement of the ball and calculation of the score for the 4 players. After the integration, we did some arrangement for our coding so that the application would be workable. After lunch, I continue to work on my audio file to be play in the game. According to the online source code, I implemented the codes into our application. The coding indeed works however the problem was there was a delay of 2 sec for the audio file to play.

I wasn't feeling well that day due to last night, had a dinner with my bros and sis, they are all ladies, we had our dinner at One Rochester Park. We had this dish called "Jackass hot wings". I suspected this was the main culprit that made me fell sick.In the morning,we showed Kevin our progress of the game development. And he gave us some feedback to our development. He told us to focus on the integration with OSC to make the application workable on Lightdraw and for the time being not to do the audio effect of the game.
As Kevin, Harold, Ming hong and Bernard had farewell party at Harry's @ fusionopolis.Wilson , You Hock and Leonard went to had their lunch at Dover Hawker Center. While I stay in the office to rest. Wilson brought back congee for me. Luckly, I did not went for lunch with them as they were caught in the rain. If not I would be terribly sick. After lunch, We continue work on our application so that it can run on both MAC and Linux.

Deployed our application with OSC so that it would be able to detect the laser position and able to follow the laser and move towards it direction. As we were using the Mac Pro together with the projector display on anothor room, we had to do excerise by walking in and out of the room when we were debugging the program.
However, it was unable to integrate together successfully even after our lunch. We were still unable to make it run smoothly. There was some problems with our coding that the paddle could only move upwards. There are some possibility of such case, that was either something wrong with the coordinates or something went wrong with the paddle conditions. We would continue the debugging the next day.

TGIF!!! It's Friday.. Time seems to pass very fast in IHPC. I guessed because we were really busy with our project. To me, it was a great achivement to make our game workable within one to two weeks.
Started the day with the debugging where we stopped yesterday. Wilson and I really want to see our application to be able to run with lightdraw. Kept debugging and debugging even when the new projector came and they are fixing it. We still continue to work on the coding in our computers.
Well, our efforts were paid off, the game application was able to integrate with lightdraw. Wilson and I were standing in front of the projector and kept playing with our game. HAPPY!!!
