Course Correction; New map; Gravitate Limit; Animate Ships

[Jon-Cavaliere]

• Turning with A or D also applies a small relative force to the player entity

  • This has the effect of aligning the velocity vector with the player's angle over time
  • Allows for small course corrections without thrusting and improved overall control
  • Disabling these physics for certain ships is possible by setting the corresponding aspect 'damping_force'
  • to 0.0 in ships/shipList.lua

• Gravitate effect is now limited based on distance between player and planet

• Adds new map: mp_slingshot

  • Also textured version with angled collision object (mp_slingshot2)

• Removes: ship test maps

• 7 ships are animated

  • ship_purple
  • ship_green
  • ship_big
  • ship_2
  • ship_ufo
  • ship_shuttle
  • ship_shuttle_2

• All ship sprites have been replaced with spritesheets

• All shipList tables have been updated to work with the animation framework

• Ship Menu and textures were updated to draw previews properly

• Ships now have individual files that describe their table

  • They are located in ships/SHIP_NAME
  • ships/shipList.lua now just requires each file
  • ships/shipList.lua now loops through every file in the directory and includes them

TODO Adjust ship menu preview draw for resized sprites to allow thrust animation
