In Response To: The Hog Level... (mrsmiley)

: I say you either cut the ammount of points you need in half, or make the hogs
: appear twice as fast. It sometimes tough to tell where an enemy was coming
: from, so therefore difficult to plan your moves. I can't count how many
: times I lost all my hogs cuz I thought I would be safe. I know this is
: mimicing those old space shooter games, but I think you should allow the
: player to move back and forth freely, without preset positions.

You'll laugh to know that I originally had the number of mini-hogs needed pegged at 75, but XBO members convinced me to cut it again and again until its resting spot now at 49. Its slow, so you go gung-ho at it, but it takes a lot of planning and clock watching. The idea about free moviing would be pretty cool, it would add an extra dimention to the difficulty, making sure you are cleared on both sides. The main reason its not like this right now is because of the hit detection, its bounding box and would cause way too many collisions if you were free moving. If I implement a better hit detection algorithm then I'll probably look into how the gameplay changes with free moving vs fixed position, since the "goal" and the "base" have to be set spots anyways.

Thanks smiley!
