Planet Chili

After countless hours of trying and failed attempts I have reached an acceptable state of my path planning / path following. It is still not perfect, but by far best of the last 2 weeks. The current status can be found in the master branch. Looking forward to work on more enjoyable stuff next, like ...

At the moment I am experimenting with some ideas from the book "The Nature of Code" by Daniel Shiffman, which is available online: http://natureofcode.com/book/ I have implemented some stuff from chapter 6 (autonomous-agents) and the result looks really nice! Maybe I will integrate it into my game. ...

You need to change both things, there is no first or second solution. Try it out, it should work.

Ok, I think I found the bug. First of all you should increment your index after you call moveTo in the registerEnemy function: if( index < maxEnemy ) { std::uniform_int_distribution<int> yDist( 0, Graphics::ScreenHeight - 30 ); enemy[ index ].moveTo( Graphics::ScreenWidth, yDist( rng ) ); index++; }...

Ok, I have added another drawRect function to check your code. So what exaclty is your problem? is it that "blinking" rectangle?

Hey Empirean. Which repository did you clone? I cannot find the DrawRectDim function (neither in chili_framework nor in sprite).

Thx Chili! I have implemented something similar. This is the first try (after several fails), which does at least partially work. Avoiding standing units is ok. Moving a group at once has problems. Dog piling could be reduced :). I am really happy, that the first step in the multi agent path plannin...

Not yet, as far as I know... But I would also like to see something like this.

Today only some graphical improvements (unit_improvements branch):
- added own mouse cursor
- added mouse-over-unit blinking
- highliting units inside selection rectangle
- removed white outlines from tank sprites and some small bugs

Still thinking about multi-agent path finding...

Dogpile! :D The hand-drawn terrain looks pretty sweet. Gotta get rid of those outlines on the thanks though :lol: All-in-all, looking good bro ;) Thx bro! The "dogpile" thing is really a big issue. Dont know how to tackle it yet. The simple A* path finding is more a single agent thing. Will need so...
