casting and reeling

[AbsolutelyAri]

Update as of 4/22

Progress

I've created a basic event-driven state machine for casting, reeling is still in progress. Controls are temporarily set up for mouse since the Wiimote is currently unavailable however swapping which buttons trigger events and getting an input axis to determine the speed of the cast should be easy enough.

Slowdowns and Problems

• Still no wiimote available
• Time to work has been minimal since last week

Progress

Since last week I've updated the reeling system, its still a work in progress but the basic function is nearly complete. I've also obtained access to a Wiimote so work can begin this week on integrating the final controls. After discussion with the toy design team the final control scheme will use the B button as a substitute for reeling a physical reel for the sake of time, this was a quick change and should be far more consistent to implement.

Slowdowns and Problems

• It's the end of days (finals) and I am sure to perish (have 3 other projects to work on)
• We haven't had a ton of communication from the toy design team
• I've had a strange bug where the velocity of the bobber oscillates rapidly when reeling, haven't tracked the source yet.
