1. Trader targeting and patrol system improved

2. Added "AI Editor". This editor allows you to place patrol nodes and ambush zone. Right now, it only works for traders. Thus placing an ambush zone will crash the game. Currently, the only way to decide WHICH trader you are placing patrol zones for is to place a new one. The new trader you place will automatically become "selected" and the editor will allow you to place patrol nodes for it.

3. Added "burst" functionality to weapons, allowing guns to fire in predetermined numbers of bursts. Pirates now fire 3-5 shot bursts to show off this feature. (pirates are much more difficult to defeat now)

Just some updates:
I'm at Carnegie Mellon right now, getting ready to begin college studying computer science here. I don't mean to brag, but CMU has one of the best and most rigorous computer science programs in the world, and I haven't (and will not) have much time to do anything else but study.

However, I've still had some time to update my game, and I see it as a way to keep my compsci skills sharp.

1. fixed sparks turning off on map reset

2. Pirates now use boid AI. They use "offset pursuit", and will pursue the player at a given distance, firing at him the entire time.

This game is now under active development as part of the Game Creation Society at Carnegie Mellon University. I am in the process of gathering a team, and by the end of the year, this game should be totally fleshed out!

Cool progress getting a team of students to work on it!

Aah, studying computer science at university - that was one of the best times of my life! Enjoy it :wink:

Cheers,
Tommy

Three comments.

(1) Your web serve doesnt send the right mime type for the jnlp so it wont run form my browser. i had to downlaod it and try launching it from the desktop

(2) Your JNLP does not yet seem to support Mac OSX. I suspect because you are pointing the the Sun JDk as a resource.

(3) I tried to grab it from your website and run it locally but I could not get a script to run it as an app to work right. It panics out with a nil pointer in AWT message.

1) I know, and I don't know how to fix that.

1) You need to configure apache mime types, this gives some details on how to do that:

http://www.flashcentral.com/Tech/Server/Apache.htm

JNLP files should have the application/x-java-jnlp-file mime type.

2)

The reference to the Sun JDK in the JNLP shouldn't really be an issue since Java will already be there, unless you're asking for a java version that isn't supported - at which point the Mac needs the 1.6 jdk thats now available (assuming of course it's 64 bit).

3)

Sounds like a bug in SoyLatte if it doesn't ack like the RI from Sun?

Bah, trying to distribute my changes as a .jnlp, but its giving me a weird error that is just
Code:

What does this mean? The line referenced is the addition of two Vecto2fs, and its saying that this method does not exist!

Is it because of the "Lorg" in the path name? I didn't even make that error in my code.


As for changes made in this version, the team:
1. Made tractor beams buyable. Added 3 new types of tractor beams.
2. Made a new weapon called "rocket", basically a missile without tracking.
3. Significantly improved control of the rocketpod by increasing thruster force, adding an "autoStop" method (spacebar), and increasing the gold pickup radius.

Means that the Vector2f class does not have the add method you are trying to call. Probably you need to update the slick and/or lwjgl JAR files.

If it were pointing to the same jar that you built your game with, the NoSuchMethodError wouldn't occur. :)

maybe I'm using an old version of slick on my machine. That would be conceivable.

That does seem to be the error. When I replace my libraries with the current ones, mouse and keyboard input fail completley.

Something tells me that I'm using an older version of Slick with different KeyListener methods.

... :cry:

3. Pirates avoid asteroids and can collide with them.
4. Buy menu scrolls.
5. Added 2 new lasers, and a heavy cannon.
6. Player can shoot down enemy missiles.
7. Player can buy point defense lasers and autocannons to shoot down missiles automatically.
