<\/a> I also took a small break last night to work on a little bit of art, since I’d like to have something that looks mildly done when the deadline rolls around. It’s not the best ever, and I suspect I’ll go back and touch things up a fair bit, but the laser looks a lot better (and has some animation)! I also had a lot of fun putting in the flash back on the satellite when the laser fires:![\"ship2_anim\"](\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/ship2_anim.png\")

On the gameplay front, I still have a few big things to fix:<\/p>\n
- \n
- I need to add in some interface elements, such as the player’s health, and possibly tweak the amount of damage missiles do<\/li>\n
- I wanted initially to include another kind of enemy defense, such as swarms of fighters or something, but that’s no longer feasible<\/li>\n
- The collision with the laser beam is screwy. Buildings are destroyed correctly because I do a simple angle check instead of proper collision, but missiles are using Zoetrope’s built in collision… which i recently learned does not respect sprite rotation. So, I’ll be building custom collision so that the laser can destroy missiles<\/li>\n
- Different building types. Some will be simple targets, incapable of attacking, and some will be missile silos which periodically fire missiles back at you<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n
