Wow... explosions everywhere! Netham45 would be proud! Looking good Ashbad!

Did you just GOBBLE up the fire?

This looks fantastic!  Can't wait to play it.

Ugh, physics.

Do you have any idea how bad a ball on a rope would look?
Besides, I'm having data storage issues as it is; how on Earth am I supposed to record rope length, anchors and so on and so forth?
I do plan on making a level editor, y'know. Besides, my rope's gotta bend around things (stupid attention to detail!).

Besides, my rope's gotta bend around things (stupid attention to detail!).

That isn't terribly hard to do with 8-segment ropes, considering each segment is actually just a point connected to another point and each one has a 8.8 X, Y, Xvelocity, and Yvelocity

I almost have multi-segment ropes working -- basically what I'm trying to do is make them stay the same length, but that's almost fixed

Right now, I think I'm going to make ropes be only one segment at the moment I got it working, but it cut my framerate significantly.  one segment ropes I got working very well though

I'm also working on some enemy AI, and for now there are only skeletons (the common enemy) that are somewhat-functional.  The AI in this game is heavily derived from the real uncharted style so here is a quick framework:

- State S is where enemies start in, in which they search the area for any trespassers (you) they will simply move around until you are found, which can be achieved by:
   - you are fully visible from where they are
   - you are partially visible and moving
   - you shoot your gun from a close range

- State F is when enemies have found you and actually try to kill you.  They will drop down for cover first, and then commence in attacking.

- State A is when you aren't found in state S for at least 512 frames, and the enemies get bored and just kind 'hang out'

- State C is when you confuse an enemy to the point that they kill each other.
