I don't know what the BG image is, but it looks interesting and I like the fact that it moves.

Would be awesome if it was interactive.

I tested some interactivity on the background and it was pretty distracting. It looked cool but didn't fit for a webpage background. When I get music added I might make the effect pulse with the music a bit and maybe flash some subtle color on it.

randomly Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure to add a loading screen on the next update. The black square is going to show a screenshot or preview of the link you're hovering over. I had considered making the background change with the cursor position but thought it would be way too distracting. I think I'll try it out and see how it looks though. I've been struggling a bit with the colors but I think I have an idea to bring it to life a bit...

Should I keep going with this look or flush it like a turd and start over? Thanks!

Yes, you can destroy it. You need to do a few things before anything:

1- Solid tilemap and the respective Tilemap with all the graphics must have the same size.

2- The same for the array. (e.g an array with 50 width and 20 height correspond to a tilemap of 1600 by 640 if tiles measure 32px (50*32 = 1600 and 32*20 = 640)

3- once done it all your map will be manageable because you now can use your array since every cell of the array correspond to a tile on the screen.

4-If you want to destroy some foliage on the map with your bullet... on destroy get the bullet's position, convert the x and y coordinate into tiles and now you know which tile to destroy.

Let me know if an example in capx is needed.

Good advice! I think I will use this technique in my game <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

I use "proxy object" in my example to call big images when it will about to appear on screen. You won't notice what's happening till using debug mode.

Nice! Looks like we're basically doing the same thing I just store the locations in an array instead of a proxy object.

looks cool!

why looking for an artist, those graphics look great?

are they not orig?...if they are keep 'em!

I agree! I like the look of it

I looked at your project, I think maybe if you make an invisible object that has follows the Y position of the mouse always but only follows the X position of the mouse if it is in front of the truck. Then have the turret point at this object instead of the actual mouse position.

Keep going!
