Now the tank turret rotates realistically - at different speeds, depending on the movement of the tank. I tried to do this before, but it turned out very poorly and strange things happened

(Tank turning speed increased by ~4 times)

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

I've been making AI for my game for over a month. It was a long and difficult process, I even lost several kilograms. The result is on the GIF. In my opinion it turned out very well, although not perfect

Previously, bullets could ricochet an infinite number of times and it looked very strange, but now I have limited the number of ricochets and it looks more realistic

Rotation of two different types of tanks.

Next, I should improve their aiming, since at the moment tanks cannot hit a moving targets. Well, I think it won't be difficult to make smarter aiming. I hope

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 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)

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!)
