It displays the graphics, but nothing moves. Don't know why it threw an error before as I can't see any difference in the code or folder structure.

Even the downloaded code does not work & no downloads in the final parts. "Error: Unable to transcode ../../../../../../assets/gardengnome.png". Spent a lot of time working out where to put code & why & the difference between static & const. A bit half-hearted, but would be a good tutorial if complete. Thanks a bit !

]]> Comment on prototype tour: timewarp by Martin http://prototyprally.com/prototype-tour-timewarp/#comment-10052 Martin Wed, 07 Dec 2011 11:41:41 +0000 http://prototyprally.grapefrukt.com/?p=613#comment-10052 That's interesting! The towers are set to "stick" with their current target as long as it's in range. One interesting thing that happens when you're trying to optimize your placements is that since all shooting is resolved simultaneously, you will "loose" shots if you place two towers so that they're firing in sync at the same enemy. The first tower will shoot and kill the enemy so the second tower will be firing at an enemy that is already dead. There are so many tiny little choices like this, it wouldn't be a huge deal to "fix" but I kind of like that there are little micro optimizations like that to make. That’s interesting!

As an illustration, I can get the escapee UP by placing a third tower. That doesn't make much sense until you start looking at which creeper the tower decides to shoot at. A smart tower would probably always go for the kill. ..Or.. not go for the kill and always strive to "use" its entire firepower. Then you add another tower type and my eyes will go cross.
