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.

#gamedev #SFML

Mines and missiles have limited ammo now. I've also added a HUD. It's just text and it uses a TTF rather than a bitmap font. Bitmap fonts seem to be difficult in SFML. Supposedly, vertex arrays solve this problem but I haven't tried them yet.

#gamedev #SFML

I realized that you can have outlines in TTF text, so no need for bitmap fonts.

#gamedev #SFML

And yes, I also added tree tiles.

Updated the hud. Now, it displays which power up you have along with the ammo.

#gamedev #SFML

Added lives to the HUD. Now it's actually starting to look like a game.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a title screen, which is just black right now.

@xianc78 (me, being helpful and supportive of a gamedev whos making good progress): HEY BRO, IS IT DONE YET?
