Hello every one
I've made some progress since I last posted here. This will probably be my last post on this subject. Anyway, here it is:
I have completed the interface and its got a round feeling to it, since I wanted to move away from a blocky interface. I have added aliens in the game that will hunt you down. I gave the alien ships AI and two types of weapons: lasers and homing missiles. To get the aliens to hit a moving target using lasers was a bit tricky, but I works 100% now, assuming that the target does not accelerate or dodge.
Here are a few screen shots of how it looks now:
In this scene, the alien is attacking some asteroids. (Very destructive little things
) Note that it aims for a moving target so that it collides with the projectile after some time interval. Also, see the patterns that the spaceship makes as it moves. The red, green and blue icons are power ups to make the game a bit easier.
Here a missile just missed me as I turned my ship.
And lastly, I have added some documentation about the game. The document is created by an XML document that I defined. The document is parsed and then formatted appropriately.
So that's it. Thank you for your interest.
