Go Nuts Competition Entry - Axonite

because I want the point data

which means I've now got paths for enemies to follow:


So for any enemy position it is a simple task of deciding the path and it's orientation.
just update the path position and the enemy moves - the code becomes uber simple:

draw(sprite, path, position)

@Derron's catmull rom spline   

The problem there is you need to define the spline and the points, etc to make it work. then you need the math to make it work. Guess what I do?


Just draw a quick approximate path

Code: [Select]

paths.Load("asset::paths.mx2vector2d")
paths.ConvertToXY( 512 )
paths.SmoothXY( 6 )
the convert scales the result
the smooth add's the points (I need) and smooths as it goes

Even the smoothing code is simple:
add a new point at the center of a line
take three points and make the inside point the middle

any point on the curve is just _x[position], _y[position]

Well I thought it was a cool solution...

[Derron]

The curve preview (on the left) overlaps its area (indicator of wrong dimensions reported?)

What proggy is that?

[iWasAdam]

custom one I wrote for my editor

[blinkok]

I did a path thingy that just consisted of turn left/eight go up/down for a galaga style shooter. It worked ok for those simple movements.

Like the "mother bug"

Final in-game screen showing one of the UI's. This also shows the 3:4 orientation as well

Looks very sleek.

Thanks - today was not a good day 

3d had to be captured and then transported via bitmap (DON'T ASK). so the 3d is now actually 2d!

But with all that said, here's the doors:

[STEVIE G]

Looks excellent! What was the issue with the 3d?

Looks superb! 

Did you create the GUI component tiles yourself?
