SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

I decided to base my entry on 1942, released in 1984... but mine is going to be named "1986"  



Added screen manager, basic animations and controls 

Tile map rendering and scrolling added:

Missiles!

Enemy planes! And really bad collisions!

Going to be tight to finish it, but it'll be playable.

Fixed collisions
Added Sounds
Enemies waves are loaded from a JSON file



TODO:
* Explosion effects
* Player Death
* Levels
* Powerups

Quickly added the explosions...

Nice. I always had trouble making paths like that

Thanks Blinkok, this is the first time I've actually tried making paths myself.

I decided on a bezier curve for the movements, LibGdx has some nice built in functions for that.

public class Enemy extends Plane {
...
    private Bezier<Vector2> curve;
    private Vector2 angleCurve = new Vector2();
    Vector2 bezierPosition = new Vector2();
...
    private void logic(float delta) {
        stateTime += delta;
        if (stateTime > initTime) start = true;

        if (start) {
            speed += planeSpeed  * delta;

            curve.valueAt(bezierPosition, speed);
            setPosition(bezierPosition.x, bezierPosition.y);

            rotation = curve.derivativeAt(angleCurve, speed).angleDeg();
        }
    }
}Then for each plane in the wave pattern I add a slight delay when they start.
