Create enemies

[mirceaiscoding]

Enemies should move towards the player and attack it.

There could be multiple types of enemies:

• melee enemies are easier to implement
• ranged enemies (that fire projectiles) are harder

State so far

The follow player enemy will get stuck in walls and always walk towards his target.

Future improvements

• Could add an enemy that has a collision map and follows the a* algorithm.
• Maybe also add a patrol behaviour and a follow behaviour (when the target is in sight)

Enemy ideas

Missle enemy

• Enemy that sits in one place and fires missiles at your position from the sky. A marker is shown where the missile is about to fall.

Path patrol enemy

• This enemy could have a specified patrol path that it follows.

Random patrol movement enemy

• This enemy could walk in a random direction for a specified length, stop, and go again (first check that the move would not hit a wall).

Basic ranged enemy

• This enemy can move up to a certain range near the player and try to shoot at him. Use pathfinding until a ray towards the enemy is clear.

Sniper enemy

• This enemy runs away from the player. His gun has infinite range and his bullets are faster. A red line is shown before he shoots.

!!! Enemy that spawns smaller enemies

• At intervals of time it could spawn smaller enemies until it is killed. It could also have a cap so that is has a maximum number of children alive at once.
