Supertux: Zeeklings: Curved flight path + screech

Created on 9 Aug 2016  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: SuperTux/supertux

Zeeklings should curve down to be on the same level as the player, and then level off, to give the player more warning that they are coming. This should be accompanied by a screech as they attack, so that the player is not surprised.

code easy in-progress idea

My main point on IRC

I want the user to see that the zeekling is attacking, and be able to jump over it.

It shouldn't be easy, but it shouldn't be surprising and frustrating.

@mandaltapesh / @tapeshmandal wanted to work on this (as said on IRC).

@Karkus476 proposed a parabolic curve, however I believe we should also consider hyperbolic (cosine) curves.

I agree wholeheartedly. Zeeklings need some sort of strategy to be dealt with.
They shouldn't be so hard that you always have to be ready for a sudden Zeekling swoop.
I might resprite the Zeekling down the track for my Improved sprites mod thing.

not a bad idea...
