First AI tests

At the moment, bots are like zombies - they follow the player and can avoid obstacles in their path, but they don’t always succeed

They are very stupid, but I will try to make them smart

I recently started developing my first game to improve my programming skills. In this 2D game you need to control a tank and destroy other tanks. I'm currently adding various features to the game. This game doesn't have a name yet

I decided to do a tank race to test the AI. Participants: 4 bots and me (gray tank)

Happy Video Game Day! 🎮

Celebrate by completing our quests!

(They'll be in your quest log until September 19th.)

I improved my old tank control code. It used to be 400+ lines, but now it's only 66. Only 66, Carl!

This is very cool, but while I was rewriting my code, many bugs appeared, for example, when I clicked on WASD, I controlled all the tanks at once (GIF)

So I made a smart aiming of the tank turret at a moving target. This required a long mathematical formula, but it did not affect the optimization (I used 1500 tanks on one screen and there were no lags!)

I added a new type of tank to the game - self-propelled artillery. It does not have a turret and the rotation angle of the barrel is limited. It deals more damage per shot, but has low speed.

I also improved some parts of the game (see article)

Happy #WIPWednesday!
