HUGE ROUND OF OPTIMIZATIONS

• Tracked down a major issue that was causing the slowdown most noticeable when a dropship explodes into coins.
• Improved performance of tile collision detection.
• Improved performance of offscreen detection used for parallax and tilemap.
• Improved performance of all animations.

• All coin patterns are in!
• Game loop structure created so that coin patterns, dropships, and eventually minibosses spawn regularly. Used the GameplayKit class GKStateMachine for this and it works surprisingly well.
• Noticed a slowdown when coins explode from dropships so started looking into that. Might have to redo how I’m doing collision detection for objects and the ground.

Light day today due to filling out a bunch of paperwork for health insurance and submitting a 1.1 update for Call Your Reps (free iPhone app for calling your elected representatives). Very inspired from attending the local #WomensMarch this weekend in downtown LA.

• Started on coin patterns.

• Player’s health is now displayed on HUD and is updated when player collides with enemy.
• Refactored how guns/bullets work and created the wave gun (as seen in video) and machine gun.
• Updated large dropship collision shape as it was apparent with wave gun that bottom of ship was not correct. Can’t have bullets disappearing in midair.

• Updated coins to use restitution when colliding with ground so they bounce more.
• Refactored how dropships are created. They are now very similar to how enemies are created.
• Dropships drop coins.
• Added juggernaut, soldier, and infected soldier enemies.
• Updated collision shapes for all enemies so they’re no longer just squares.
• Player has a collision shape and can collide with enemies and coins.
• Picking up coins increases current run’s count, which is now displayed in HUD.

• Fixed the dropship collision shape. Found a great tool* so I can use a CGPath rather than take up precious phone space with an image to represent the collision shape.
• Completely revamped how the controls work. Was using UITapGestureRecognizer for jumping up, UISwipeGestureRecognizer for jumping down, and a UIPanGestureRecognizer for aiming. However, the pan and swipe gestures could not be triggered simultaneously, so I am now overriding touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded and handling controls from there.
• Added a white-red-white animation for the reticle so it stands out more.
• Noticed the reticle was sometimes flickering so started looking into that but couldn’t track it down.

• Wrapped up the parallax background.
• A bit of optimization as I saw the frame-rate dip to the mid-50s. Came across a SpriteKit best practice in Apple’s documentation while trying to track down that 1 pixel flickering line issue. So now, rather than adding all SKNodes to the SKScene and hiding/unhiding them when needed, I’m adding/removing the nodes.
• Code cleanup for the large parallax background commit and fixed a parallax issue in the process.
• Started prototyping a new idea:

In v1, the player can drag their finger on the screen to aim, but the aim was attached to the avatar. For example, if I dragged my finger to the top of the screen while the avatar was close to the bottom, the avatar would aim diagonally up. But if I then jumped, the aim would continue to be diagonally up.

I’m thinking it would play better to have a reticle that the player can drag around that the avatar always shoots at. It would make it far easier to play and seems like it would be more fun. Got a rough version of this up and running quickly but then the dropship’s collision shape disappeared so fixing that next.

• SO CLOSE to finishing the parallax background. There is one issue left that involves detecting when the image goes offscreen and repositioning it at the end of the parallax layer. You can see them popping out too early on the left side.

Dove down a rabbit hole.

While trying to get the positioning correct for the parallax background, I noticed that it was basically impossible to avoid some overlap. Seemed like some subpixel issues. This led me to start looking into the random 1 pixel lines that would sometimes appear while scrolling by the tilemap. It’s most noticeable in the trees but once I started looking, it was EVERYWHERE.

I messed around with adding padding to some of the tiles. I created the tree as a single image rather than it being made up of tiles. I made sure everything was being drawn with integers for positions rather than floats. Finally, FINALLY, I tracked it down to the scale mode on the SKScene that contains everything. I had messed around with this before, attempting to make it look decent on iPad so I could have Universal easily. I switched it from AspectFill to ResizeFill and *poof* the flickering lines were gone. Of course, this means it doesn’t scale well to iPad, but I’m going to push on and focus on iPhone and look at a solution for iPad later. During this debugging process, I did introduce a way to override everything’s display position so I’m thinking I can do some scaling there and all will be fine. 

tl;dr – Found and fixed root level issue. Back to fun things.
