Adding bots n' stuff

Play CurveLight

I’ve added some bots to play with and a new game mode where you try to survive as long as possible against one of the harder bots. It’s wonderful how easy it is to develop in Silverlight!

The controlling mechanism for each bot is different. Nestor is pretty much like the one I had before but with improved predictions and less buggy (still buggy though). I made Mitch to evaluate the trajectory predictions but I decided to keep him for a while because he is so arrogant. Not much to say about the other guys except that they get along fine.

I haven’t decided yet what direction I will take with the graphics. Now my “3d engine” is pretty slim (3 lines), and it doesn’t provide much artistic freedom so to speak. I will look in to what different options there is; what existing solutions there are and how hard it would be to improve the one I have.

Silverlight Game - CurveLight

Remember the game Curveball? I love it and I have wasted many hours playing it so I've decided to make my own version of it; CurveLight, in Silverlight. This is under development and is far from finished but you get the idea.



If you have any suggestions please leave a comment and maybe I'll implement it :)

Come back later for updates...

note: if you win or lose you have to refresh the window to restart
