Not sure what to call it, so... ideas, send 'em forward. It's a game like Gyruss, where you are constrained to moving around in a circle, and your shots go towards the middle, and you have to shoot down all the baddies. I'm hoping to make the enemies follow... cooler paths, which may mean writing a small scripting language that they use to move around. This is where I'm at currently (not very far, at least in the graphics department).

And, here is a video of what it is modelled after:

Good luck to be honest, I can't quite tell what is going on in those pictures -- but I see lots of circles at least! Good luck, though I still think a whole scripting language for this is a bit overkill, and that "script"-function pointers in the enemy structs would be better. Though I digress, hope it progresses fast either way _________________ -Ashbad
Basically, I'm just moving around the screen and shooting as the red circles (the baddies) move in an circular fashion. Didn't realize the pictures sucked that much :/ And yeah, I was pretty much thinking of just having them all point to the same script, but keep their variables separate for each enemy. Right now, I think that might be the best option to get the complex behavior that these guys have. _________________ http://tanner.myserverathome.com
I didn't work on it since then, so if you liked the screens then, you'll like them now I'll try working on it a little later in the week, maybe during HCWP. And, I think I chose the name CIRCLE(S) at that HCWP, which I'm going to eventually make into an acronym (I think that's the right word...), but not right now. _________________ http://tanner.myserverathome.com
