Tower Defense Collab

The only good tower defense game I've seen on scratch is aerial defender by Dibbo222.

The only problem is that his game was a game where the enemies just flew from the top to the bottom.
I want to make an actual, legit tower defense game. (with your help, of course.)

I will probably need:
At least one sprite/drawer/artist
up to two other programmers besides me FULL UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY GOOD
Somebody who will make music and sounds (maybe)

Team:
Me (programmer/artist)
bbbeb (programmer)
Enzo1997 (programmer/artist)


Progress so far:
Simple, but effective pathfinding for any kind of map

so... yeah... ask if something is unclear or if you want to join.

Re: Tower Defense Collab

so for a starting topic:
what should the theme be?

1 modern with tanks and stuff like some TD's?

2 medieval like most others?

3 or just plain abstract like Vector TD?


4 other

5 or maybe just totally strange and awkward like random defense?

I like 3 the best

Re: Tower Defense Collab

have you played vector TD? it's really cool. I mean abstract like the enemies are just shapes and so are the towers. its neon and glowy  tongue

Sweet! I don't think I'm good enough (don't know, so I won't try...) but I can't wait to see what you guys make. I love Tower Defenses.

Cheers, and good luck!

Re: Tower Defense Collab

I have an idea for how to do the targeting system for the towers:
say we have 10 enemies per wave.
we name them
e1
e2
e3
...
e10
Here's my idea:

Code:

 this is protocode

RANGE SPRITE
start
var target = 0
 forever
  {
   if touching [e1] OR [e2] ...  OR [e10]
    {
     target = 1
    }
   if NOT [ touching [ join("e", target) ] ]
    {
     changevar[target](1)
       if NOT [ touching [ join("e", target) ] ]
        {
         changevar[target](1)
        //have if within if for 9 times
     }
    }
  }

TURRET SPRITE
start
forever
 {
  pointTowards[ join("e", target)
  //some other stuff
 }

how do you like it?
