26 SEP 2020:
Most of this past week I was on (another) business trip, but I did manage to work on something I've been meaning to do for a while:
Particle explosions!
In the GIF above you can see the small explosions when you hit enemy ships, but I also have a new one for when the player ship explodes.
It took a lot of figuring out, but now that I know how to implement it in code, I'll be experimenting with more cool effects along those lines.
New demo out Monday! Additions/changes from the last version include:
- Player ship can have different segments shot off.
- Player can now change the weapon at any time by pressing "C"
- Full screen mode support (press "F")
- New scoring system
The new demo will be available at the same link as always:
