Refactoring, New Paintings, and Replays

Over the past few weeks, I have been working on several things. Unfortunately, many of them are invisible: I refactored the entire codebase in preparation for creating online multiplayer.

Over the past few weeks, I have been working on several things. Unfortunately, many of them are invisible:

  • I refactored the entire codebase in preparation for creating online multiplayer.

  • I set up a server solution for uploading forgeries. This was done to facilitate high score boards that include visuals and replays of the best paintings.

  • I also reorganized how paintings are displayed in-game. Paintings will be organized into small collections (e.g., Minimalism, Post-Impressionism). Progression in single-player mode will be tied to them. This involved reenvisioning the painting select screen, which I've redesigned, but have yet to implement.

New Paintings!

Steam post image

The collection reorg has helped focus what paintings to add. I've found woodblock prints work really well, so there are a few of them here:

  • The Cow, Theo van Doesburg (Minimalism)

  • Street, Dresden, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (Expressionism)

  • The Blue Rider, Wassily Kandinsky (Expressionism)

  • Ichikawa Ebizo IV as Takemura Sadanoshin, Tōshūsai Sharaku (Ukiyo-e)

  • Kabuki Actor Ōtani Oniji III as Yakko Edobei, Tōshūsai Sharaku (Ukiyo-e)

Replays!

I've implemented viewing replays of past performance in the player history section. It's just a first draft (I want to them to eventually open larger), but all stroke data is being saved and played back again!
