Overall Organization

There are a few key words that are important to understand for purposes of the API documentation.

GameEntity

  • This is most things in the game. But, specifically:
  • GameEntityCategory.Shot
    • These are actual individual bullets moving around. They might be part of some larger pattern or who knows, but the important thing is that this is one bullet moving around.
  • GameEntityCategory.Ship
    • Good or bad, this is either a player or an enemy.
    • Ships CANNOT attack directly. They have to have guns mounted on them (see below), and then the guns do the attacking.
      • If a ship looks like it has no gun, it is using an invisible gun.
  • GameEntityCategory.ItemPickup
    • These are actual item pickups that you can step on and pick up. You can also drop these.
    • If you are doing item design, probably this is where you will do that.
  • GameEntityCategory.Obstacle
    • This is a very strange category and likely you won’t do much with. These include things ranging from mines to interior walls to those floor-mounted lasers to the shootable and bombable wall bits, etc.
