7 PM – Advanced Python Game Development

Today:

• We went over the homework
• We made the bullet shoot in the direction the turret is facing.

Homework:

• Add a cool-down period that enforces a minimum time between when the tank can shoot bullets.
• Add logic to prevent the tank from moving through the brick wall.
  • Keep track of a prev_x and prev_y attributes.
  • If the tank collides with the brick, then set the x value to the prev_x and the y equal to the prev_y.
  • If the brick wall is exploded, you can pass through it.
• Start the bullet moving from the center of the turret rather than the upper left corner of the tank.  You can use the turrets self.center_x, and self.center_y values.
