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

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

#gamedev #SFML

You can now knock cars off the road.

#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

Explosions also happen when enemy cars run over mines.

#gamedev #SFML

Added explosions. Explosions are their own objects.

#gamedev #SFML

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

#gamedev #SFML

Added a limo.

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

#gamedev #SFML

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

#gamedev #SFML

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.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a scrolling camera. The car seems to be moving faster after dying because it stopped moving and there is no background to show it.

The dungeon crawler project got too complex, so I decided to abandon it for now. I decided to make a clone of one of my all time favorite arcade games, Spy Hunter.

#gamedev #SFML

Created a small "animation" for when you open up the chest.

#gamedev #SFML

Added chests where you can open to get keys. I need to add a sound and a "get item" animation for it though.

#SFML #gamedev

Fixed the camera to make it center more on the player. It's not perfect, but it is a vast improvement.

#gamedev #SFML

I can't believe I didn't know what this is until now.

Enemies can now drop keys if set to do so.

I was also experimenting with tile colors. I thought a light blue/cyan would be an interesting color for the tiles. I was expecting a bathroom-like aesthetic but it ended up looking like an ice cave instead.

#gamedev #SFML

I've changed the way how doors and keys work. Now you have colored locks and you need that colored key in order to unlock it (much like in Doom).

#SFML #gamedev

Here is the tilemap for the cave-like level.
