After wiring everything so that sound components have access to
ObjectPool
, the rest
is straightforward.
Giving Enemies Identity
Wouldn't it be great if you could tell yourself apart from the enemies. Moreover, enemies
could have names, so you would know which one is more aggressive or have, you know,
personal issues with someone.
To do that we need to ask the player to input a nickname, and choose some funny names
for each enemy AI. Here is a nice list we will grab: http://www.paulandstorm.com/wha/
clown-names/
We first compile everything into a text filed called
names.txt
, that looks like this:
media/names.txt
Strippy
Boffo
Buffo
Drips
.
.
.
Now we need a class to parse the list and give out random names from it. We also want to
limit name length to something that displays nicely.
