Re: Need Critique on Tutorial Series on Making Arkanoid-type Game.

I've finished the remaining parts of the tutorial: credits screen and packaging . https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/kRt7M5J.png?1 All in all I don't like how the Chapter 3 has turned out. My initial idea has been to discuss typical problems arising in game programming on real-life examples. However, most...

Re: Need Critique on Tutorial Series on Making Arkanoid-type Game.

Regarding the GUI buttons, I think it's really helpful having a GUI container, something like: Ok. I've got the idea. IMO as long as there aren't many GUI elements, up to 5 - 7, it is possible to go without containers. On the other hand, in the part 3-16 on Final screen and Credits I have a code li...

Re: Need Critique on Tutorial Series on Making Arkanoid-type Game.

I think, I have an idea for another appendix: "How to continue working on a project if you are starting to lose interest".

Re: Need Critique on Tutorial Series on Making Arkanoid-type Game.

Haven't been posting progress updates in a while. Unfortunately, that's because there hasn't been much progress :( . Recently I've updated another part in the wiki; it's about bonuses that add multiple balls into the game. https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/XizvqXY.png?1 The first appendix has been includ...

Re: Need Critique on Tutorial Series on Making Arkanoid-type Game.

I've updated one more part in the wiki: implementation of a "glue" bonus, which makes the ball stick to the platform.

Ok, I'll keep that in mind when I get back to that question.

Re: Need Critique on Tutorial Series on Making Arkanoid-type Game.

I've updated two more parts in the wiki: 3-4: Spawning Bonuses 3-5: Bonus Effects In parts 1-03 -- 3-05 I've changed the collision detection algorithm to the one suggested by airstruck .
