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)

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

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)

Last week at LVL UP EXPO, we celebrated great games made by Jolters including Baldi's Basics Plus by @BasicallyGames !

Thanks to Razer for providing the laptops and peripherals!

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!)

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 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)

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
