Every Semicolon: Part 6, 7 and 8

I decided to hold off on posting about episodes 6 and 7 (which have been online for around a month) until I'd done episode 8 and was ready to continue rolling along with this game. After episode 7 I knew it would be a while before I had the time to do so since the project at my day job was entering the final ultra-crunch stage. Now that's over with (WHOO!) I'm more keen than ever to keep moving forward with this game's development and the video series.

Part 6:

(I recommend watching in fullscreen 1080P. Youtube).

Some of the events in this video:

• I re-setup the scale of my assets and level
  
  
  
  • I create a treasure chest block with code to spawn particles when it's destroyed
    
    
    Part 7:

    Some of the events in this video:
    
    
    • I setup the first version of the Ballista model
      
      
      
      • I create a number of shortcut functions for object manipulation including duplicating objects with various offsets, translating objects around, creating new child objects and deleting children of selected objects

        Some of the events in this video:
        
        
        • I create a projectile motion trajectory class to determine what the trajectory of a fired projectile will be
          
          
          
          • I setup a 3D visualisation to show the trajectory while playing
            
            
            I'm actually planning on doing a whole lot of work on this over the next few days, possibly doubling my current number of hours (14 hours 36 mins).
