Posted May 9, 2010Have linked unit A patrol to where linked unit B starts, have linked unit B patrol to where linked unit A starts, turn off collision.
That would prob look a little weird though.
Maybe leave unit A and B stationary, but have a third unit move between A and B to form a 'link' between them, again turning off collision. I dunno, just ideas.

Posted May 9, 2010Thanks for all the feedback, guys. You inspired me to work up a new version with (per popular demand) more math! The movement is now smoother across more angles, and the collisions are fixed.
There is one thing I'd like to try, but I don't know how to do it. I've been using marine (and now marauder) pairs to make up the standard 2:1 Arkanoid blocks, but it's not all that intuitive when you first play the map. I'd like to add some visual indication (aside from color) that a pair of units is "linked." Any ideas?

Posted May 9, 2010I like the marauders, making em dance to show dmg was a nice touch.
Found a bug though, if you're holding down a movement key, and press f10 to access the menu, the game is stuck holding down that move key when u return to the game.

Posted May 7, 2010Haha!
This is awesome idea. I like it, but the strict static ways in which the baneling get bounced are a little odd... some mathematics will be very very great!
Will there be some power-ups later? ;) and you maybe should increase the speed of the baneling for each time he hits something a very tiny little bit.

Posted May 7, 2010Scored a 19200 by the end of 2nd level.
Nice start to the map, but why do marines always die in pairs?

Posted May 7, 2010Pretty awesome concept! It's not much fun in terms of gameplay though as you have very little control over the baneling. I suggest breaking up each part of the broodlord to change the velocity in different directions if possible. Also, level one goes a bit too slow, might want to speed it up.
