3. Planning the project First steps: –Finding fellows –Finding ideas –Finding an appropriate programming language

4. Problems during programming Collisions:

5. Problems during programming Variety of projectiles

6. Problems during programming Moving tank across level

7. Problems during programming Background

8. Tank movement The Tank.move(int d) function makes the tank move d pixels to the right, if possible. The tank‘s angle is automatically adjusted according to the landscape. Implementation overview follows…

9. Tank movement: requirements The tank‘s x position

10. Tank movement: requirements Ground level at given x position

11. Tank movement: requirements Fixed reference points

12. New x position

15. Check if new tank angle is legal: Yes  move tank to this position, decrease remaining move distance for this turn No  do not move tank …done

16. Graphic Definition of the landscape in the XML-file

19. Projectile collision detection Landscape image mask Adding tanks Per pixel check Explosion initiation
