When I'm working on book proposals, I typically prototype a lot of projects. Not all of them make the cut. This is a project from the cutting room floor.
Gravity Well is a simple two-player (shared keyboard) game. Fly around a gravity well, collecting salvage. Bounce one another, accelerate and rotate. Whomever collects the most salvage wins.
This isn't intended to be a finished game; I'm hoping that someone finds the source code useful/instructive. Elements in the code:
- Assets: a basic asset manager to specify your sprite atlases up-front (with the builder pattern), and combine them into a single
Assetsresource. - Menu Framework: a simple framework for displaying a main menu and game over screen, as well as a "Loading, please wait" message while your assets finish loading.
- Physics: some very primitive collision detection, velocity and gravity code.
- Centered Text: I added a bundle for centered text, just because I find the normal Bevy code verbose.
- Particles: a very simple particle system. Not at all optimized.
