Glyph Attack

[mattyhex]

Recently I've been remaking a font, and it just so happens one morning I woke up with an idea for a top-down shooting game based on the font.
This is what the current rendition looks like:


Attached is the love archive.

It's not finished, and needs a lot of polishing, but it's by far the more complicated thing I've ever coded.
Any ideas you want to add?

[felix24]

that's pretty cool.
the only thing i can think of to add is setting A and/or down arrow to go backwards.
nice work so far though

EDIT: and by A I of course meant S...

these controls are wired if you ask me. make the shooter aim toward the mouse and then just make WASD move him straight along the X and Y axis. either that or make it like asteroids.

Oh, and also implement alternative arrow-based controls too for the people who love arrows or have keyboards that aren't QWERTY.

Thanks!
I'll add a backwards movement feature.

The controls aren't meant to be standard, I'm not trying to make an asteroids clone... Though I might add the option of using the mouse like that.

The arrow keys should work, though it's set up in the 0.7.2 implementation, which might be why it isn't working.

Edit --
I've been working some more things into the game, here's the latest love file:

Shouldn't the o's and the like kill you?

Yeah... I haven't implemented any form of life yet... I'll get round to it at some point.
