Asteroid/spaceship logic

What do you mean?

Do you need to know how to make the asteroids move or what?

(Sorry if i sound angry, im not. im only tired)

I know how to move the asteroids around, but what I''d like to do is have the asteroids appear as if the had some grudge against the spaceship without destroying it instantly.

You could spawn them outside the screeen, making them head for the player (So that if the player doesent move, he gets killed).

Just adding to the anon poster's logic with the asteroids "seeking the human" according to different levels of difficulty. You could make the asteroids seek the ship by doing some simple calculations.


if (ship.x < enemy.x)
enemy.x--;

else if (ship.x > enemy.x)
enemy.x++;

Pretty self-explanatory. You probably won't need to do any y calculations since the asteroids will always be traveling in a downward fashion, so you'd keep on adding to the y coordinates.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Using the information that I''ve gathered, I will attempt to make my very first game in mode0x13(I know that mode13 is dead, but at least I won''t have to worry about the details of setting up directdraw ).
