So it is the first week back and all of us found it nervous about who would be in our groups for AGD. I am really excited about my group as it has some of the best guys on the course in it. We named our team 'Team++'. The task all the groups have been set is a racing game. We thought most groups would go for a F-Zero/Wipeout clone so we thought we would do something different; we have gone for an airplane racing game set in the future with a steampunk kind of style and have named it 'Project Scorched Wings'.
This week we were just getting to grips with Gamebryo working through the tutorials and trying to make an early spike of our game. Using tutorial 7 of Gamebryo's basic tutorials that have a helicopter flying around on screen, I managed to get control of the helicopter with an Xbox 360 controller. But the x and y rotations do not work completely on their own. Depending on which axis the model is facing down, the rotations will alternate between pitching and rolling the helicopter. This will have further investigation in the next week.
