  3. Game Overview Current Cycle Supply Centers (34) Fleet Army BITPLOMACY

  4. Unit Commands “Defend” “Support” “Attack” “Move” “Convoy” BITPLOMACY

  5. Build/Remove Commands “Build Fleet” “Disband” “Build Army” “Retreat” BITPLOMACY

  6. Saving Capability BITPLOMACY

  7. Loading an Unfinished Game BITPLOMACY

  8. Select an Ally Generator • Generates when a country reaches 12 supply centers • For 2 countries Supply Center count to add together, they must select each other. BITPLOMACY

  9. Simulation Ending BITPLOMACY

  10. Improvements Old Version New Version BITPLOMACY

  11. Advantages • Decision engine offers instantaneous adjudication • During class, adjudication can often take 20-30 minutes per cycle for manual adjudication. • Much easier to keep track of Supply Centers due to color-coding • Units can leave a supply center, but keeps ownership until another country claims that territory. • Simpler unit movement • Avoids resizing of units in PowerPoint, or mistakenly grabbing the backdrop due to precision clicking.

  13. Design Achievements • (3) Game Persistence • Save Games • ***Note: only one saved game is available as of now • Load unfinished games • Load finished games (for lecture purposes) • Designing the Game • Create a better looking map w/ individual images • Design a UI with those images • Build a fully functional adjudication engine • Cut down play time in half • (2) Put the Game Online • Implement Networking BITPLOMACY

  14. Database Diagram BITPLOMACY

  15. State Transition Diagram Recent Design specs hosted on senior design webspace: http://www.lcsee.wvu.edu/seniordesign/2013springee480-gp04/ Contains API for every class, method, and field used in the final game. Reference the Change Log on the Bitplomacy Github repository to see how the game developed over time. https://github.com/youngJeezy858/Bitplomacy/commits/master BITPLOMACY

  16. Complete Source Code Listing • BITPLOMACY is housed on GitHub in a public repository. • Meaning anyone in the world could go to its URL and download the source code or upload changes. • Hopefully sparking some interest in BITPLOMACY for new Senior Design students, and encourage newcomers by giving them a place to start. BITPLOMACY

  17. Testing The team would have liked to see the professor use the final version in class to see if: The professor could handle the interface and input orders easily. Students could interpret the representations of their teams on the interface. Students, with the rules sheet, can figure out what is and what isn’t a valid order more easily than when the professor uses the PowerPoint slide. How much play time is actually reduced by. BITPLOMACY

  18. Safety Precautions • Some methods exist in the GameCanvas class that fire up to 60 times per second, which are used to update and draw the game to the screen. • During the team’s development, the game’s frame rate dropped from 60 FPS to 15 FPS. • CAUSE: Initialization of a new object in one of those GameCanvas methods. • RESULT:Used up every core the game was being run on, requiring a total restart of the machine.
