I marked 0.2 at some point, so I guess I should keep incrementing this
during development. The menus are finished, which is as good a
checkpoint as any.
I've taken a lot directly from the Bevy UI button example.
(https://bevy.org/examples/ui-user-interface/button/)
I'll make it look better later. For now, it just needs to exist. Onward
to the UI operation system!
I want the different "scenes" to be their own plugins for ease of setup
and reading.
The main menu plugin has been renamed to have "Plugin" first. This is so
the lexical sort in the docs places all the plugins next to each other.
The "get-ready" plugin has been given an empty struct and an
`impl Plugin` to match the main menu plugin. I've started the game over
scene, but left it unimplemented.
Closes#16
Bevy provides Deref and DerefMut derives, so that's nice. I'm not sure
it makes any sense to keep the field private since those derefs expose
the Vec2 anyway. I added an `impl Default` anyway, though.
The non-gameplay scenes are really just a bunch of widgets. I'm going to
put them all together and then bundle the functionality with some
exported plugin builders.
I'm not sold on the name, but anyway.
This module will hold the systems that power the main game mechanics, as
well as a few extra items to support that (in particular, the Lifetime
component).
The player will be respawned, their lives decreased, and the board
cleared. The UI doesn't update, and the sudden snap to a freshly reset
board is quite jarring. The state transition to GameOver stops the game,
but there isn't anything else running in that state so it just looks
frozen.
Basically, there's a ton left to do, but technically I have handled
player ship destruction!
I actually have most of the asteroid's destruction handling system done
and found this bug.
Asteroid *assets* are selected based on the size set in the spawn event,
but the `Asteroid` Component itself was left hard-coded to the smallest
size.
The spacebar fires the gun, bullets are spawned on top of the ship with
a velocity that sends them forward (relative to the ship).
I still need a despawn mechanism, and a fire rate control. To despawn
things, I'm already planning a `Lifetime` component. For rate of fire,
an additional component will be created and attached to the player ship.
The ship in Asteroids isn't expected to spin up while holding a steering
direction, but that's exactly what I just made it do.
Fix that problem by assigning, not accumulating, the angular velocity
for the ship.
Something something quaternions are hard. I thought I would take the two
"things", add them together, and then put them back into the transform.
That's clearly not how it works :v
The rotation component is also redundant with Bevy's transform
component.
This new component and system fill the physics role, but the input
handling code needs to be updated.
Player steering still functions because it uses the `Rotation` component
to direct the force vector. The force is correctly applied to the linear
velocity vector. An improvement would be to have a force/impulse
accumulator so I could account for mass, but I'm not going to do that
right now.
Replacing the `Position` component with direct manipulation of the
transform functionally completed the TODO. The functions weren't exactly
combined, but the resulting behavior might as well have been.
I've updated the docstring to (exist, actually. yay syntax) describe the
system accurately.
