HI,
For the multiplayer game i think is a very goog idea.

I can not wait to tet It.

I ve got a bug.

For exemple if you play until 1 player and 1 IA are stile alive , and go to title screen, if you go back in game all caractere are alive but if you kill 1 IA you win the game.

I ve test it on the old version.

Thanks Clement for your feedback!

I'll fix this for next release:
- Fix bug007: if player quit the game, make sure game is reinitialized.

- bug008: double shot when a player kill another player
- bug009: game freezing (can't understand when and why...)

[clement]

just a proposal :
it is possible to have more powerful explosion?

If I touch a unit I feel that there is no dmg around.

[frakasss]

Hi Clement,
You're right, when we're hitting an enemy, feeling is that nothing happen...
Making the explosion 'more powerfull' is not really an option. I mean, if I'm increasing it when units are killed, I've to increase it when units are not as well... and map will be destroyed to fast.

I added some 'animation' indicating that unit lost some life. That's not perfect, but feeling is better.

I can't update the github file since I also changed some other part of the code, making the game unstable.
I'll give news soon!

Hi!

I moved forward on this project, and I think I'm near the end!
I fixed a lot of bugs, optimized the performances, and added the following features:

- Select total nb of player (2 to 4)
- Select number of unit per player (1 to 4)
- Added (stupid) IA
- Select number of CPU player
- You can change value of gravity (1 to 3)
- An arrow indicate who's the next player
- Put some animation so show which unit was shot.
- Improve collision check

In the future, I'll try to:
- Improve a bit the IA
- Add maps
- Customize a bit GameOver message.

Enjoy the game!
