Player Interaction and Movement Visuals

This wiki will outline the design decisions involved with the implementation of the new sprite, the visualisation of the player movement and interactions.

• 1. Redesigning the player model
• 2. Visualisation of player movement
• 3. Visualisation of player item holding

Redesigning the player model

Overview

• Redesign the current sprite
• Choosing what size to render the sprite as

Image of the new sprite

Talk about what height we chose the sprite to be

• we wanted the height to be just above the benches
• (include an image of the sprite next to benches)
• reasoning?

Visualisation of player movement

Overview

• Redraw the sprite in all adjacent motion (in the sense of a 3x3 area)
• The sprite renders moving up, down, left, right, and diagonally

What the uploaded image of movement looks like

The new sprite model will use an atlas style function to run through the image and identify each 32x32 sprite within the image.

Visualisation of player item holding

Overview

• Drawing the sprite holding each item in a certain manner
• The decisions made to draw the sprite holding it in this manner

Option 1

Show image of sprite holding it in front

Option 2

Show image of sprite holding it on top of head
