Rich Log Progress
Rich forget what Rich do. Add completed tasks to blog..
——-
XX get the room lock working again
XX debug what’s wrong with the lock: try forloop checking all live characters are in/out of play area
XX add individual player damage and death
XX move health to player list, do damage to individual mercs, test merc death
XX check game over only on *all* mercs dead, not just merc 0
NOTES: turns out there’s something weird going on with the player position on spawn. it seems to move, and it’s initial position
is triggering the lock when it shouldn’t. hacked in a fix for now. close enough >:[
XX extras: for enemies to damage players they need to know *which* they’re damaging. unaccounted for!
— To do this, consider adding and ATTACKS table: similar to the bullets table. attacks last for 1 frame, damage all within radius.
Deferred: for now just check closest player
XX ALSO, need to deal with switching players when one dies
XX ALSO: when a player dies it looks like enemies keep going for them??
XX ALSO: health pickups need to affect new health parameters
XX Add a button to switch between normal wep and tool mode.
// either: use new switch, or go back to weapon type (go back to weapon type). toggle gfx
