Weekly Update: Benjamin Lee (2017-2-10)

This week, I worked on completing the runway system. I added runway loading to the game, and started work on runway labels.

Runways in the App

I added runway loading from JSON into the app in the game. This involved some refactoring of the rest of the airport loader. I found out that drawing lines in libgdx is way harder than it should be.

Labels

The problem for adding labels is that they have to be both easily associated with the target runway, and not overlap other runways. The best way that we came up with to do this is to make two parameters done by the level editor: angle and distance. I drew a diagram of this system:

I ended up having font problems and got caught up in trying to convert a BDF into a TTF.
