• gameobject:

  • has associated groundspace
  • can spawn new game objects with timers
  • player, enemies, powerups, bullets(?)

• groundspace

  • limits players area to move, over bounds -> game over
    • everything else may leave groundspace
  • circular, fades out after time
  • size & timeout depends on associated enemy HP
    • overrideable
    • some helper spaces stay indefinitely
  • idea: multiple floors: player falls down -> parallax layers rotate

• enemies

  • spawn new enemies after time in patterns (dependend on HP?)
    • spawn in semirandomized direction (not backwards), buffered by current groundspace
  • types:
    • stationshooter (different patterns -> colorcoding)
    • (shooting)follower: always facing player (different speeds?)
    • fastmover:
    • grower: fast to kill but grows until dead

• player actions

  • primary & secondary gun (fast/slow bullets?, raygun?)
  • speed boost: cost: attracts other gameobjects
  • make room: grow distance & size of gameobjects
  • slow bullet that creates groundspace around it

• level

  • based on patterns spawned by enemies
  • maybe: not random patterns but predefined selection per level
  • increasing difficulty:
    • incresing angle of random nextspawn vectors
    • reduced groundspace per spawn
    • faster groundspace timeout
    • faster spawn rate

• powerups?
