I'm starting to be in the final few stages for a first release. Though sometimes it feels the bigger my program is, the harder it is to manage, though that is what refactoring is for.
Most of the changes are behind the scenes and arn't visable, such as per pixel collision,randomly placed start location, and the ability to center the map on the building when the game starts up. I also added buttons to 'command the troops' with. Added toggleable music. Added 'scrap', which are supposed to be metallic remnants of fallen robots.
Next on my todo list is the ability to add 'miner' bots, and add a functional minimap.

Totally new menu code based off my widget/element hud code.
Next up I will make the menu more functional by adding an Info element, a new input box, and some music.

Basic fog of war and some gui work (refactoring old gui for less code and automatic organization of elements).
Next on my hitlist is adding a hidable menu on the top, refractoring my old menu code into a new beast.

I am refractoring ... again. The real difference is behind the scenes, however it shows a very slightly more detailed terrain.

I have just made a robot that wanders randomly around the map with this lua script http://svn.dsource.org/projects/warbots/game/media/ai/warbot.lua. As you can see, I just have the "randomly wander" AI routine done, nothing special. I also have my robot hardcoded to not run off the map by turning around once it gets to the edge, so you don't have to worry about running off the map in the script file. Screenshot doesn't show any of this, except for what the robot looks like : )

This screenshot shows the map/art/menu. Nothing interesting yet, all you can do is load a map, save a map, display info (help/author/liscense), scroll around.
Next on my hit list is to have the robots wander around the map with the AI I will give them, which will be kept in a lua script, and after that I will give them missles and have them shoot each other. |

Cool, although you have to do something with your tiles so they blend nicely with each other... I haven't done any 2d tiled renderings, though the first thing that comes to my mind is to have the tiles actually larger so they overlap and use a mask to blend them together. By altering the mask you might change the shorelines, etc. There are probably better techniques around though  I'd ask google about unique terrain texturing with tiles 
Keep up the good work ! |

I agree, but I'm more of a proponent of form before beauty : - ) Right now I'm concentrating on the AI and stuff, and getting robots that build cities and fight each other : )
But i'll add it on the que of future todo. My free time is drying up like a lake in the desert :-/ |
