Bullet Collisions about cs420-project HOT 2 CLOSED

Wanted this information in this issue...

Controls were put into the Bond class to drive his actions, just like AI
will be added to the enemy.

Projectiles do not belong in the Game class. The game class exists only to
flip between game modes and drive other objects into action. If you want to
test your stuff in the Game class to make sure it works, that's entirely
fine. But ultimately the projectiles will need to be added to the
GameObjectManager so that they can be drawn and moved properly. Not to
mention that the GameObjectManager already has an internal list of all
VisibleGameObjects to loop through to check against objects.

My recommendation would be to go to the update loop of the
GameObjectManager and toss in an if statement to check if the current
object the iterative points at is a projectile; if so, have it run through
another sub to check for collisions between the projectile and the actors
on the map. Also we can adapt the already existing collision code to "kill"
the projectile if it hits a tile, so in the second loop you'd only need to
check for collisions against bond/enemies.

I have an int called type set up for VisibleGameObject; it defaults to 0
for Tile,1 for Bond and 2 for Enemy. You can use that to limit what the
loop looks at for collisions.

I say all that without thinking about the original question -_-. So if projectiles are being created due to the fire button being pressed...then that is an issue if the control is in the Bond class. The best bet then would be to pull the controls out of Bond and put them into Game, because then at least the fire button can return the created projectile for it to be added to the GameObjectManager.

This is essentially complete.
