Powerups

[euthyphro8]

These should spawn on the map or players randomly get them on some trigger i.e. Timer, after X combo, after X damage (what should it be?). It should then appear in some UI form and be available for usage. The effect will obviously vary.

• [x] Powerup UI

  Current powerup should show up next to the health bar, or as a very small icon floating next to the player in the scene.

• [x] Powerup Interaction (Pickup/Usage)

  This entails the mechanism for giving players a powerup whether or not it is spawned on the map.

• [x] Smoke grenade

  The player uses the smoke grenade and a puff of smoke about the size of one eighth-quarter the size of the screen and lasts for 3-8 seconds.

• [x] Bear trap

  When triggered functions like the caterpillar but does a medium amount of damage.

• [ ] Explosive (First Pass)

  For ease of implementation regular explosives. Either the player uses the powerup button to place a charge and presses the same button to detonate or alternatively the player places it and the next player to step on it triggers the explosion.

• [ ] Boomerang (First pass)

  A slower larger version of the ninja stars that does a decent amount of damage.

Again, could use a short description of what the gameplay would be like when these are used.

For example:

Player A throws a Smoke Grenade and it creates a localized area where Player A is hidden if they walk through but other players are highlighted

And can players only have one powerup at a time? Can they be queued like in Mario Kart?
