Update Update

hi,it was quite long didn't update my blog since last post(almost 5 month ~~).just try to record something again.

as mention on last post,my new job is started and working on there about 4 month already.2 of ex-GTA member who join together with me was left this place already cause some issue happen over there.I was still remain and handle a project doing a soccer mobile games.This project take around 3 month already and currently still continues doing.There have 2 programmer(include me) and a artist running this project.Hopefully can finish it end of this month(march).



this project currently face some issue like:

a)heap memory - because we using a tool which can decompress the png file to uncompress format and allow to switch the different palette set on same image data(for change the player cloths color) when load into memory.This method can reduce the file size but eat up lot of heap memory and slow down the loading speed.Now only Nokia 6670 able to load and play this game.thinking on using other way to replace this method.

b)Time schedule - how to schedule the project still one of hardest part for me aspecially to develop a game which never do b4.It more harder when some request for quality but little time alocated to finish it.so you had to decide what quality of the game can be done with the minimum time given.

c)plan ur code - it quite important to plan the flow of ur code with consider on people able to read your code(when project involve more then 1 ppl) and the code optimaze.Last time the GTA is doing good on this since source control program is using on the project.Here we just using the differetial tool to merge to a single code.

d)template to start a project-using a template to start a project can make ur fast startup the runnable code and display it.but you had to take more time to understand the code aspecially template is code on too personal way.So using template to start ur project no always save your time when come to optimaze your code to run on the machine.

so now i am put most of my time push this games to finish stage and work till very late just back home.hope i can finish this project soon and do the thing i wanted.
