Brickslayer Alpha [07/22/2007 05:13:26]

I've just uploaded the brickslayer tutorial.

This is a very early alpha release. I'm not proud of the code being presented, and many of the code fragments on the individual pages are out of order, but it should be enough for an experienced developer to understand how everything fits together.

My biggest complaint is the collision detection section. It's buggy, and the code is overly complicated. There should just be one generic checker, rather than testing specially for the paddle, walls, bricks, and lake. Hopefully I'll have time to clean this up tonight (Sunday), after I get some sleep.

Meanwhile, feel free to look around. There's a forum link at the top. Comments welcome, especially if they include better code. :)
