big thx!

had a lot of time on this weekend and made lot of progress. i somehow become infected with this game-programming-stuff :).

new features in the current version:
- background graphics
- obsticles (in terms of rectangular "walls")
- obstacle avoidness
- something like a range of vision -> if the enemies cant "see" you (because of a wall), they stop following you. you can see the "range of vision lines" (with many other infos) by pressing "i" while playing

apart from that i made a map-class, which automatically search for and stores the obstacles (as i said, only rectangles are allowed. they have to have a black edge). so you can just make your own maps/walls in e.g. paint, just by adding some rectangles.

and as always: many code cleaning stuff

im still grateful for feedback, bugreport, suggestions.

greets
slevin

This looks pretty nice! If I were you, I would add some features like the ability to upgrade your tank (or just certain parts of it). Create a few levels of possible upgrading, making each upgrade harder to get. Create a few maps, each one being a greater challenge for the player... Just to make the game a bit more interesting, you know :D

Yea this looks really cool. But I think the projectiles fly a bit too slow... Also auto fire would be nice, look at the timer function and you might be able to add it.
