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 just now noticed that the tank's turret is not installed correctly on the tank. It should have been in the center of the tank

I am developing my own game engine. Currently, I am adding a graphical user interface. Later, I plan to create games and applications using this engine. The screenshot shows two buttons and a text input field with their colliders (red rectangles)

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

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)

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

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

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

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

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

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

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!)
