My first game - questions & feedback
I'm working on a simple game (might have seen in my book thread)
Here is my current version Attachment 18993
its supposed to be a game like the old arcade vector graphics games (Asteroids, Stellar Castle, Rip Off, etc etc) its my first game so obviously its not good or coded very neatly but its ok. anyway I have questions:-
1:- Currently its set to renew your shields every 1000 points (only 1000 for testing purposes) but there are 2 issues currently
a:- When the shields renew, they are off-center and I cannot seem to position them exactly like the starting ones. which is annoying
b:- For some reason unknown to me, after 2-3 shield renews (ie around 2000-3000pts) the shield renew system goes out of sync.. and instead of renewing the shields at 3000,4000,5000 it might renew them at 3200,4500,5300 ..why??
2:- My "mothership" currently comes on from the right, flies around the player and heads off right again. I've used a path movement to do it, but is there a way of making multiple paths and having it pick a random one?
3:- Sometimes the mothership will shoot when I have 1 shield left and the bullet will go through the shield and kill me. is this a bug with the collision detection or is it a fault in my code? (only seems to happen when there is 1 shield left and even then doesn't happen every time)
Thank you for your help
