See? See that? See what you did? "Imagine a shootemup..." then move into a brief description.... Creative thinking! There must be a tutorial on how to do that... Formulate an idea, translate that idea into code, so that others can enjoy or understand the idea. I am amazed that you seemingly came up with that concept relatively quickly and easily. You sir, have a wonderful gift... *sigh* Well done!

Sorry for hijacking your post, aliensoldier.
RE: my second game, naalaa invader - johnno56 - 02-18-2024
Cool animation! I have absolutely no idea what it could be used for but it is certainly very cool... lol
RE: my second game, naalaa invader - aliensoldier - 02-18-2024
Impressive example. The enemy is great in a list but I don't see where you are drawing it.
Okay, I create a list for my player where I draw a shape and then in the draw method with the draw rect function how could I draw that list in this function.

Imagine that someday, someone will use your "dancing" BigEnemy to recreate the final chapter where THE BOSS of Space Invaders is shooting furiously and without mercy ...
THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE INVADERS
Perhaps ...
It's the final chapter of the Invaders
You've wiped out all of the alien soldiers
You'll meet soon the Boss
All your strength and courage
To the glory of the planet Earth

Haha!
I was just thinking that something like this could be used in a shootemup. Smaller enemies could temporarily form larger enemies (with much higher fire power) and then continue being themselves again. Or maybe the other way around, where a big boss shatters into smaller enemies that are annoying and hard to hit.
