Hi Kent,

little mod with vector explosions

I played a bit but many times my bullet should hit the tank and instead it pass over.

Petr, thanks for pointer help and also for first mod of the game!

For my own version, I want to keep everything green to sort of stick to classic, but there is nothing wrong with color. Probably a good idea to develop both styles, and depending on gamers age, they can pick which they like from options menu, when user settings is put in.

I am going to remodel the tanks in parts, so they blow up and fly all over the place and bounce around... got lots of ideas, but need to get the framework clean, solid and flexible. It is far from that now

Thanks again!

Hi Kent,
I won't find time till tommorow to look at it as my wife and me are going out tonight. Sorry.

Very nice.

Try getting 2 tanks to over lap and shot one a very strange thing happens.

Hi,

I did few tweaks:

• code is shorter now
• movements are framerate independent
• any number of tanks possible, just set numTanks to what you want ( tried 512, ran well )
• explosion is green and fades away
• added some postprocessing
• different collision handling
• shot has "ground marker" ( when it seems collision doesnt work, it is most probably because shot is out of its 2500ms lifespan )

I do not attach screenshot as Kent probably still wants to keep the surprise effect, I respect it

Thanks Petr.

In your version radar is missing. Is it by choice?
If not, can you set current position of our tank to a triangle instead of a square?
Trinagle can also show our current cannon direction.

Ciao
