BBS - Boat Battle System

[armouredturtle]

Right...so in this game im working on there are like...pirates and stuff...but...ever played Sid Meyers Pirates? Somthing like the boat battles in that, you collide with an enemy ship. Then a battle sequence starts and you can only fire horrizontal to your boat.

The controls would look like this mabye.

W- Up
A- Down
S- Left
D- Right
E- Fire Right Cannon (relative to facing upnorth)
Q- Fire Left Cannon ( " )


Or somthing like that. Any ideas?

You can use these keys:

X (this includes Esc c v b n and m)

Enter (this includes Z)

Shift

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

Thus, you could set 1 to move ship right, etc etc.

What you're describing is similar to an ABS - an Action/Adventure Battle System. Though your idea is a bit more simple than most ABS's, it would still takea fair bit of coding. Try looking up tutorials on GamingW for ABS's.
