      Turret Update<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      This is the turret that will be placed on the sky. The inspiration of this turret is the old airplanes. After player placed the turret, it will float in the sky to shoot enemies. The material will be added later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Programming Update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Wave System<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      We added a wave system to the game. Currently there are 3 waves of enemy and the spawning rate, enemy numbers, enemy moving rate and other factors are different across those waves. This is to start the game easy and then gradually increase the intensity and level of difficulty of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Map View Win Game<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      We implemented the logic that game condition shows up on map view. Before playing both level, enemy surrounds the play point and after winning each game the enemy disappears. Also player can not click and enter the second level of the game until they win the first level. The current visuals are place holders and will be replaced by other assets later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
