The map

The map

"Magnetic Gliders" is progressing at a nice rate. I though I would show you a picture of the map as my attempt at explaining the whole idea of sections might be hard to understand without something visual.

I have recently added sky, ground and other things as you can see in the picture. The picture shows two gliders heading for each other. If you look on the top left you will see a lot of squares and a yellow and a black dot somewhere in there. The yellow dot is the player and the black dot is the opponent.

The interesting thing in the picture though is that you can see that the ground is divided into a lot of green and red squares. The color of the square represents how much acceleration force it produces for the glider, the greener the more force. The values will however change over time so you have to keep an eye on the map at all times to find the best route to the next target (not implemented yet).

There's still a lot missing in that picture but with my current rate of progress I should have a finished version ready long before my previous estimation.
