make saurothrop ship

[vulpineblaze]

• chaser is a good prototype
• replace sprite
• make sure laser lines up
• make sure fusion bombs lines up, eventually

[vulpineblaze]

maybe this is long-term, and outside the scope of this issue...

I'd like to have nested sprites like so:

• empty, just move & rotate scripts
  • five segments ~72 degrees aparts

the top layer controls where the ship is going and pointing the five segments get:

• sprites
• health & damage
• AI to determine when to shoot:
  • laser
  • fusion bombs

and when one dies, it "explodes" switching to a "Destroyed" sprite. both types have a random pool so each ship looks different. each time a piece is destroyed, there's an increasing chance that the whole ship is destroyed. If not triggered by the last piece, then the enemy just exists, like a asteroid, after destruction, and the player can mine it.

but like i said, there a lot of mechanic we dont need now so it might be out of scope..

Currently implemented:

• the overall container + move sprites, with some clunky rotation
• The 5 wedges with static sprites
• health and damage
  • PartialHealthScript handles wedge damage, and then on 0 hp, passes 'real' damage to top level gameObject. Does not destroy wedge.
  • currently mis-passes hp to top level, 50 hp became 38 after 5 wedges @ 1hp/wedge. (7 extra damage was applied by unkown cause). My current guess is that the Damage() call takes too long, and so it applied more than once during combat.
• Saurothrop script only fires with the closest wedge, the other 4 remain dormant.
• ST script does not take into account destroyed wedges
• destroyed sprite anim not implemented
• 'wreckage' state for top level gameObject not implemented either.

@jsmunster Close this issue and make the remaining items into non-milestone issues?
