First Level Done!!!

Hey!!!
Our first level is DONE now, and we are so excited to let you try.
Feel free to leave comments!!

Here is the link: http://silo.cs.indiana.edu:8314/3/
Please notice that the game currently does not work on Firefox.


What we added:
  • Moving objects have inertia, i.e., powersliding boat!
  • Multiple shot types that get more powerful as you pick up powerups
  • Our first cheat code: just press = to power up. I added this since there are more levels of shots than there are fireboats on the map
  • Dangerous tiles are impassable
  • Hitting a dangerous tile places you back at a safe tile and freezes movement á la Mario Kart
  • Buoys surround the level
  • Version scheme: the previous week's code is available at http://silo.cs.indiana.edu:8314/2/, this week's is http://silo.cs.indiana.edu:8314/3/, and we'll continue on in this fashion
  • The base URL without a version number contains whatever the latest version is in the repository
  • Patrick submitted a level, which I added at http://silo.cs.indiana.edu:8314/2/index2.html
  • Behavior after winning or losing should be less weird

What we missed:
  • Performance is actually worse, due to the inertia model
  • The game is still hosted on my site, due to continuing issues with the Greenland server
  • No new sounds, as we didn't know what to put where
  • The objective squares don't yet behave as specified in the wish list
  • Hitting a buoy removes a life, rather than just bouncing the player back in bounds
