Codes Explained
Codes Explained
Study the code for the Torpedo.
Q1. Why "When Spacebar pressed"?
Game is started when the player presses Spacebar.
Hence, immediately we would want the torpedo to appear below the sub(marine).
Q2. How to use Mouse Click to fire torpedo?
In this code, we are going to use <mouse down>
We are also going to use
x_Position of Submarine & y_Position of Submarine
Q3. How to ensure the torpedo does not block the submarine?
-50 + y_Position_of_Submarine to ensure that the torpedo
always return to the bottom of the Submarine before it is fired again.
// we use this same idea for the bubbles
Q4. When does the torpedo return to Submarine?
When x_Position of Torpedo is greater than 240
Also
you will need to include, if touching Shark,
- Change SharkHP by -10
- hide
- return to bottom of Submarine
