Trains and Tracks

[smileyface12349]

Make the train move slowly over the track, and make it follow the track around bends. Include assets.

Silly little checklist:

• [x] Make the train move in a line
• [ ] Make the train move dynamically based on the presence of track pieces in front of it
• [ ] Make an easy way to put track pieces on a line
• [ ] Make the track pieces bend with the line
• [ ] Take input from the equation plotter and make a line of tracks from it

To make the train move, use a list of waypoints. Then just follow the waypoints in order. Some waypoints will be part of the level, others will be generated dynamically with the equations but you can just assume that you'll have a list of waypoints.

Will need to:

• [x] Keep track of which waypoint the train is on
• [x] Move the train in a straight line towards the next waypoint until it is reached, then move on to the next waypoint
• [ ] Orient the train so it is facing towards where it's going
• [ ] Deal with all the other carriages (good luck!)

Closing this as I have just made #12 which duplicates this one
