fornever / tankdriver Goto Github PK

Environment

• OS: NixOS 16.03

Steps to reproduce

• Go the dev environment with nix-shell at the root of the project
• Start MonoDevelop from there
• Open the projects solution in MonoDevelop

Observed

Error message dialog with the following text "Error while trying to load the project '/home/rexim/Programming/ForNeVeR/TankDriver/TankDriver.Tests/TankDriver.Tests.csproj': Unknown ToolsVersion '14.0'"

Expected

Project opens clearly without any errors

There should be an environment (project?) to run unit tests.

So a random visitor of the repo doesn't have to build the game just see how it looks like.

We have both x86 and AnyCPU configurations. Need to use only AnyCPU.

On mouse click the tank should shoot a bullet object that dies when goes outside of the screen. Bullet direction should correspond to the tank turret direction at the moment of fire.

Everything else (like bullet interaction with other objects) is the scope of other issues that have to be
created.

Description

Everytime I compile TankDriver on my NixOS setup I get

/home/rexim/Programming/ForNeVeR/TankDriver/TankDriver.App/Game.cs(42,42): Warning CS0414: The private field `TankDriver.Game._graphics' is assigned but its value is never used (CS0414) (TankDriver.App)

in Game.cs

You can see that warning on Travis CI
But there are no any warnings on AppVeyor

Environment

• NixOS 16.03

Steps to reproduce

Follow NixOS build instructions in README

Observed

The warning message in the compilation log (see Description)

Expected

Compilation without any warnings.

It may fail on Windows without proper video adapter, need to check.

Currently it's like

$ cd TankDriver.App/bin/Debug
$ ./TankDriver.App.exe # or mono ./TankDriver.App.exe

Just to keep track of this shit and collect useful links

This is how cool kids show their coolness today I guess. Examples:

• https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs
• https://github.com/tonsky/rum
• https://github.com/catberry/catberry

• add the icon (#32)
• use the icon for the executable file
• use the icon for the game window

Try the following:

$ cd C:\
$ D:\TankDriver\TankDriver.App\bin\Debug\TankDriver.App.exe

The game will fail to load the textures and crash. We need to configure texture manager to load the resources from the same directory as our binary.

Probably we want to preserve the cache of downloaded NuGet packages on both Travis and Appveyor.

Currently the tests fail on NixOS with mono 4.0.1:

$ mono ../../../packages/xunit.runner.console.2.1.0/tools/xunit.console.exe ./TankDriver.Tests.dll
xUnit.net Console Runner (64-bit .NET 4.0.30319.17020)
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Xunit.Sdk.XunitTestFrameworkDiscoverer, xunit.execution.desktop, Version=2.1.0.3179, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8d05b1bb7a6fdb6c'.

It seems like we hit xunit#158 that was fixed somewhere around mono 4.2. Unstable NixOS channel have mono 4.4 already, but the stable channel doesn't.

What options do we have? We wanna run these tests without problems. Rely our build on mono44 and recommend the users to use unstable channel? Could it be done in a user-friendly manner?

Tank shouldn't be able to shoot too many bullets at once. Probably no more than 1 bullet per second or something like that. Add a cooldown constant to the tank model and follow that constant (i.e. don't let him to shoot if the the turret haven't cooled down yet).

Probably let's start from the static block enemies with some fixed amount of HP.

We need to create plans for a big picture of the game. Currently we have no vision of that, and it creates a problems for everyone.

Currently I've enabled the console window in #16 because we want to be able to debug the game started from terminal. In Windows there's no easy way to control whether I want or don't want to enable the console window. The most obvious way is to compile the application for a console subsystem (see TankDriver.App.csproj:9). This have an undesirable effect: the game will now show the console window every time anybody is starting it. And we don't want to scare ordinary gamers with out black console windows. So we'll need a way to disable console in release mode.

We can recompile application for Windows subsystem, but

• there's no easy way to switch compilation mode depending on build configuration;
• NLog fails if it cannot set or encoding color for the console (and it fails to set it without the actual console); (fixed with 8ea8f5c)
• I want to be able to control console with command line parameters or even by simply starting the application from console.

So, I think that we need to provide a small Windows-specific piece of code that will detect if an application was launched with specific command line arguments and show (or hide?) console based on that.

See something like that SO answer as a reference implementation.

Enable and configure NLog in the project.

Currently the tank bullets appears at its center. They should start at the end of its barrel instead.
