Today I fought about 3 hours to find a single little number which was wrong:
area.actors.splice(i, 0);Instead of
area.actors.splice(i, 1);Result? The first code do... nothing, while the second actually removes an item from an array.
You could think that his kind of bugs can be solved in no time, sadly the bigger the code base the harder it is to find such bugs. I had to isolate the area which produced this error, try to make sure it wasn't somewhere else, and at the same time I discovered a few other things which didn't really made sense either. As said... 3 hours for this.
Anyhow now I have rats walking around my world:
The movement of the rat is mainly random, it doesn't head yet toward the player. However I implemented collisions with background tiles, and for example water is non walk-able.
I will have to implement collisions with objects as well, yet for this part I need to think how I want it. Will it be a circular area round the ground position? Or could I choose the collision shape? All open questions.
I will need also to create monster spawner, which will let the game owner place monster where he/she want and not simply randomly scattered around the map.
