Day 2

well, every thing goes well, now it is boss 1, graphics OK. I am not good at designing stages. I intend to creat 5 stages, for stage 1, eveyone can pass, even with bombs. For stage 2 and afters, the enemy number will increased, and player need some patience and skill. The next days, I will focus on boss design. They should have several attack mode according to their health. For innovations, I will give boss some skill, say the boss would give poison to the player, let the player weapon level down, let the boss health increase. All in all, my game is a shoot them up genre (well, how to pronounce this word ), Traditionally, the bullet should go straight, because delta_move = speed * direction, well, I will break it this time on pyweek 23. but I really do not know it is OK or not. Just try it. OK, go on designing my bosses.

Can we know which GUI you are using ?
Did you resolve FPS troubles ?

i wonder if ctypes or numpy can improve this ?

Is it allowed to insert some piece of cython ?

Sure, I use pygame, I think FPS is fine if just creat 2D game. In fact, I know a little about ctypes, I once use ctypes in pyglet to creat 1000 particle system (3D), compared to C++ (both of them use OpenGL), pyglet is quite slow. I saw some people made 3D games use pygame and pyglet(just demo), I do not know whether they use cython or not. I do not know it is OK or not to insert some piece of cython, maybe you can try it :)

Looks like fun!

Wow, looks fantastic! Beautiful art! (How did you paint it?)


I also started on a shoot-em-up, but I only made it as far as a lone triangle moving around the screen! Shoot-em-ups really look like the ideal way to express the moral questions inherent in "The Lesser Of Two Evils".

That is an awesome graphic for the deathray.   Reminds me of a voronoi. Is that how you did it?

@assertivist thx, hope my final work is fun too ^ v ^


@cyhawk I can not drawing, I just get the pictures from opengameart, I will show all the attribution and their licences finally in my work, I really admire those indie game maker who can coding and drawing by oneself :) Glad that you also do shoot-em-up game, come on together!


@CrazyPyro Sorry, I just use the animation to show the warning area ^-^ . But I really know voronoi, In our TV show 'The Brain' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brain_(game_show)#Episode_11:_.C2.A0China_vs._.C2.A0United_Kingdom) I am shocked that Wikipedia has it. I remembered that in Season 3, China pk England, both of the players find voronoi by eyes. OK, I have no idea about using voronoi in game, but anyhow, maybe one day I will use it to make fun.
