Camera now moves based on the position of the player's car in relation to the screen. The further it is from the bottom, the faster the camera and the car moves, just like in the original Spy Hunter.

Got tiles.

The player now dies if the car goes off-road.

#gamedev #SFML

Fixed it so that it dies when the center point crosses a non-road tile. Looks more natural that way.

Spiked Car now shoots spikes when in line of sight of the player.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a limo.

#gamedev #SFML

Added land mines. I plan on having these as a power up. No explosion animation, yet.

#gamedev #SFML

Added explosions. Explosions are their own objects.

#gamedev #SFML

Explosions also happen when enemy cars run over mines.

#gamedev #SFML

Added civilian cars. They are supposed to make you lose points if you kill them, but I haven't made the score visible yet.

#gamedev #SFML

You can now knock cars off the road.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a bumper car. You can't shoot it, only bump it off the road.

#gamedev #SFML

I think I solved the problems with car physics and collision which is to keep track of the car's position of the previous frame. Up until now, I've been using an object's velocity to handle directional collisions.

#gamedev #sfml

Got the bumper car behavior implemented. Will need to fix it. The car doesn't retract after bumping.

#gamedev #SFML

Finally fixed the collision detection (at least I hope). Turns out that recording the positions of the previous frame does actually work.

#gamedev #SFML

Added missiles. Can blow up any car.

#gamedev #SFML

Added desert tiles.

#gamedev #SFML

Added power-ups which are stored in wooden-crates. Right now, mines and missiles are stored in crates.
