Graphics Assignment, Frozen Throne

I’ve been work­ing most of the week­end on my graph­ics assign­ment. I have the arm ani­ma­tion work­ing now, togeth­er with most of the tim­ing, but the object motion is killing me. Somehow I have to get an object to move with the claw of an arm, get the object dropped, and then move along a con­vey­or belt. The prof gave us anoth­er week exten­sion (on top of one we already had) so it’s due next mon­day. I would pre­fer to get it done for tomor­row though, since the delays in projects would just add up, and I have my hon­ours project and cryp­tog­ra­phy project to think of. I might be hit­ting the bot­tle a bit ear­ly today.

I’ve been read­ing some Frozen Throne info, and the new units look pret­ty cool. The prob­lem is that the expan­sion is com­plete­ly chang­ing and re-bal­anc­ing all of the pre­vi­ous units and build­ings. Essentially, it’s a com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent game. For exam­ple, all the build­ings have their costs reduced by about 15%. Or the fact that units can now ethe­re­al, and that there’s a new type of dam­age. Basically every­thing I learned has become use­less. The only thing that I’ve kept is what I learned from micro­man­age­ment. Shit.
