Hi Thomas! I thought better late then never comment on this thing, now that I'm back :-) Cool stuff! Reminds me a little of 'Phantom Tanks', which is one of my all-time-VCS-favs, but still has that different *twist* to make it look fresh! >> - I'm having some troubles in directing the helicopter's fire. It could be >> interesting to have the helicopter stop if you keep the fire button pressed, >> and have the joystick movement direct your fire. This would allow to shoot >> in a direction without having to move towards (close) enemies and therefore >> getting killed. >Yes, I'm not 100% happy with the control yet. Though you can reverse at >any time, sometimes you are to close. But a stopping helicopter before >shooting is also not exactly what I want. Maybe some recoil when >shooting might help. Have you ever played Paradroid on the C64? The droids which are equipped with guns (001, 821 & 496 to name but a few :-)) can even fire in the opposite direction as they're moving, with a *normal* Joystick. The droids don't react on *quick* movements with the fire buttons pressed, but they shoot in the direction you point then. You can just pass an enemy droid at full speed for example, but still give a blast in his direction. And it's quite intuitive to controll, too.
