A new enemy has appeared! (week 7 update)

Once upon a time, it was foretold that enemies would come to challenge Toby Giant, the particle man. That time is now. The basic Triangle enemy has come to the particle platformer, and he is ready to party! This triangle enemy will roll along on the ground and injure the player if they come into contact with it. You read that right, roll. It is a right triangle also. Something to note: we don't have enemy collisions working quite yet, so currently the triangle will just roll past the player like he is late to his business meeting, and Toby is that one guy waiting at the bus stop in the background while this clearly busy triangle goes somewhere. Until he hits a block. Then the triangle turns around, because we have enemy-block collisions working. end note.

In un-enemy related news, the player can now shoot particles to a desired location, meaning that we basically have the "push" particle ability working. We also have the camera partially working so that it kinda follows the player so that they can move around freely, and don't have to worry about losing the character if they run off the screen.

So, uh, yeah. Stay tuned. I'm sure we will have another post in the not-too-distant future that delivers the goods. The goods in this case being more specific information on our game and the progress we have made. Until then, enjoy reading these words:
