Halfway there?

Ok, some improvements:

  • The lasers explode on collision
  • Added enemies with basic AI
  • Stars! Lots of them.

Python was a little to slow for a few thousand stars, so I had to resort to Pyrex. Pyrex really needs better error reporting, but after looking at the generated c-file and tweaking some it worked. Now I can have 50 000 stars without problem :) Under 10 000 is enough though.

Next I think I have to do something about that artwork… but that’s for tomorrow.

Physics Works

Yee haw.  Finally got the physics working.  It’s pretty simple stuff.  Axis aligned bounding boxes, with a verlet/relaxation based solver.  As far as my concept is concerned, the shapes should all be axis align.  Otherwise, your multi block monstrosities would fall over in most configurations.  On to the screen shot.

Next up… I don’t know yet.  I might run out for some groceries (I hear there’s a no tax sale at “Super Stores” this weekend, 5-11PM).  That should give me time to think.
