Devlog #2 - Added full screen mode and other features

As I commented in my previous post about the importance of breaking the project into small tasks, this time I was fully focused on 2 things in particular, they were apparently very simple things but I struggle a little to solve them.

Full Screen

As you know I am using Phaser 3 Game engine, I needed to include html text box to type some values like nickname, some amounts, etc. I figured out how do that, so far so good, the problem is when the game went to full screen the html text box specifically did not see, and I did not know why. This is the first time that I use Phaser 3 Game engine, and although it is quite powerful, the documentation can be a bit confusing, and although the community is active, it is segregated in the 2 versions of the engine.

At the end I found an explanation of this question, by the own developer.

That helped me solve it. 👍

Graphics

The other thing I focused a little was also in the most basic appearance of the game, although it still in development, it always feels much better to test a game at least with free graphics even if they are simple than when they are just rectangles flat colors or without animation, I think. 😅

The graphics help give a clearer idea of where the game is going, for this use a great site where there are many free resources that can be used in the early stages of development of our video games, the site is https://opengameart.org/

Now looks like this:

These free graphics will be used in the development of the game and when the game is released the art will be original content.

Conclusion

In developing a game and software in general there are always many challenges to face, the important thing is to stay motivated so that you do not miss the goal.

Thanks for stopping by.
