looks realy great so far. may be add some movement for the tank like controling left and right track and some environment and ofcourse ... something to shoot at =)

[RolandU]

what are these... "left and right track" i don't understand this...

anybody know, how to make explosion effects in the same style with the tank?

sorry, im not a native so i used a dictionary ... may be a wrong way ;)
by tracks i mean those two belts it uses to move. in a tank there are basicly two arms. one contols the left belt forwards and backwards and the other one controls the right one.

and explosions? i would make only a simple comics book style explosion star-shaped line with a fill

there is some angle problems when you rotate the main body... I ended up with the bullets coming out the back and not going where I was aiming

Becuase of your graphics i would have some sort of fire over lapping or a bunch of partical effects coming out from an a centered location.

Fix: angle problem
Update: added some kind of an explosion effect

in a number of days... when i get back from countryside... i'll make some enviroment and add couple of enemyes...


so i've come up with some ideas for the game...
i'm gonna make it a single player (+maybe 2player behind 1 computer choice)
game, where you must play through missions, to save someone, kill someone... defend the base, attack enemy base... and whatever
for completing missions you can attach more armor, weapons, and devices. and upgrade tank movement

doing graphics for a game sucks...anyone with graphics skill wanna help?

Yeah, a little fire that comes out of the barrel when fired would be cool. Also, to be a little more realistic, maybe have a bit of a delay so you can't have a constant stream of bullets?
