I’ve gotten some very, very basic work done for Brute Force.<\/p>\n

I currently have the player’s tank, which rolls around on the screen and with a turret that turns toward the mouse.<\/p>\n

The player’s tank is made up of a body, a turret, and some kind of propulsion (Generally but not always tank treads), each with some basic stats.<\/p>\n

The game uses a custom event class to handle input events by name. (IE: “Left”, “Fire Primary”, or “Pause” instead of keyCode’s) I did <\/em>take the Key class from FlashPunk (Which contains constants for keys by name), which made my job much easier.<\/p>\n

The next thing I will put in is some kind of weapon. After that, equipment will be loaded from data files. Then, other things.<\/p>\n

This should turn out to be a fun game.<\/p>\n

Peace<\/p>\n
