Weekly Update: Benjamin Lee (2017-16-10)

I worked more on the runway system and general improvements on the editor.

Editor Improvements

One of the focuses this week was on getting the editor ready for use in creating real levels. For this, I added support for selecting existing runways and a few other quality of life improvements. Next week I plan on adding the main missing feature: loading existing airports from JSON.

Labels

 

Runway labels are pretty much complete at this point.  The way that they work is that the user enters the angle and distance for the center of the text to each end of the runway in the editor. In addition, the app can load these names and display them.

One issue for this was that since the player can zoom, the offset has to be in screen coordinates, not world coordinates. Otherwise, the labels will overlap the runways at some zoom levels.
