Missiles and torpedoes #7

Closed davidyu closed 9 years ago

davidyu commented 10 years ago

Torpedoes are just a way of enabling head-to-head competition. The overall design and vision of this game is stealth, so torpedoes should be rarely used, if ever.

davidyu commented 10 years ago

The simple guided torpedo should follow the last know position of the enemy and detonate there.

Design 1

Implement a simple straight, non-homing torpedo

Architecture for missile entity and components (1357622)
Implement movement logic (1357622)
Architecture for explosives entity and components (fdef09b)
Implement explosive system logic (fdef09b)

Design 2

Augment torpedo with homing

Swap mouse click for firing torpedo; use key for ping (80e9b85)
Implement aim/homing reticule component and system
- two designs:
  1. always-alive reticule, activate on mouse down, deactivate on mouse up
  2. create reticule entity on mouse down, destroy on mouse up
Make torpedo home on reticule if active

Food for thought: do we want to differentiate the Input/Controller for the reticule from the Input/Controller for the player?

Torpedoes work now. Closing in preparation for open source release.
