Yeah– I’m excited.. so far… OK.. the two largest ships fire these purple beam weapons.\u00a0 The largest ship with the chance of firing 2 of them.. the second largest ship firing one.<\/p>\n

I also have doubled the level length but that will change as well eventually.. I just wanted a larger amount of ships to fly through.<\/p>\n

Also.. I made it so if your fleet touches any of the screen boundaries.. they asplode.\u00a0 Ideally… this wouldn’t be the case.. but after fighting collision detection logic (it is complicated due to fleet coords\/ tweening patterns etc..) there were so many ways to rig the system to get your ships to hide.. that I just made them asplode… \":)\"<\/p>\n

Anyway— Beam weapons give you a tiny bit of warning via visual clue.. think any robotech episode when they are firing the reflex weapon.. there is always that .35 of a second where you can get out of the colorful path before you are so many cinders.<\/p>\n

So.. recap: running into screen boundaries.. capital ships.. or giant purple lasers will kill your little ships.. \":)\"<\/p>\n

Let me know if the effects are killing anyones computers yet.. i’ve done 0 optimizations.. (hey.. its LD)<\/p>\n \n
