Spaceship movement

In my game quasar i need a asteroids type of movement.

Completly changed ship movement to a asteroids type of movement...

Whant to have something like this:

But still quite not there yet.

What i do have now is this..

if up key is not down acelerate custom movement foward -500

if up key is down acelerate custom movement 500 at player angle

the rotation of the ship is if left is down rotate 100*dt conter clockwie .. and for right clockwise...

The problems that i am encounter.. is that acelerates to a insane speed..( i need to have a maximum speed)

And in the video there ii the player do a very quick change of direction specialy if i whant to go the other way.. in mine it takes too long to desacelerate and go the other way if the ship is going fast..

The main problem i guess is that i dont have a maximum speed.

here is my working progress of the ship movement...(only works on the first ship)

Have you considered Car behavior? Here try this demo:

(I believe you can open C2 project in C3)

It's not ideal, but you may be able to tweak the values and controls further.

You could achieve that with physic behaviour, apply force and rotate. But do you know what game that is, game name, you have linked here (https://giant.gfycat.com/IndolentQuarterlyAruanas.webm)?

You can do it with events. The custom movement behavior doesn't add much other than longer expressions.

You can get to run exactly like the video by tweaking the

max speed

acceleration

and turning speed

Also once your game loaded I see you have the spaceship slowdown over time.

You can do that by doing this every tick:

set vx to self.vx*0.95

set vy to self.vy*0.95

an alternative is applying an acceleration opposite the angle of motion and proportionate to the speed:

set vx to self.vx*(1-damping*dt)

set vy to self.vy*(1-damping*dt)

where "damping" is something from 0 to about 60. If you use too high of a value it will make things accelerate uncontrollably.
