This is simply a demo to show of how you could go about making a tower defense game. Each tower actor is a rotating field of vision, that when it collides with an enemy begins firing. The enemy's image is composed of rapidly appearing and disappearing particles, and they work pretty well, actually.

Complex animations would be tough (not impossible, tough), but I've never seen a TD game really need complicated tower animations.

Let me know what you think! I know of several ways it could be improved, but I was eager to show everyone :D

    Before I dig in, are you changing the logic in any actor instances?

    I may pull out my mactop at work for this one!

    No sir. All the original prototype actors.

    Looks great!

    I used a similar concept in an attempt to create a drop shadow on an actor. Still working out the kinks on mine though...

    I'm bumping this just in case anybody that wants it but hasn't seen it. I'll leave it to die afterwards :)

    And I'm bumping my love for you again. I'm actually going to put you in "special thanks" in my app. Should I just put you're game salad name or is there another that you prefer?
  • EastboundEastbound Member, BASIC Posts: 1,074
    You can thank Eastbound, simply because I plan on changing my game design company's name soon before I go through the legal steps to make it "official".

    And given how requested tower defense games were on this site, I was kind of surprised to see so few people responding to it :p
