Game Engine From Scratch in C - When Everything Goes Wrong
Welcome to the next edition of Gamedev The Hard Way, my attempt at writing a game from scratch for the Agon Light, using nothing but C. This time I attempt to program some basic enemy behaviours to test out my game's entity handling code. This is quite a fundamental part of the game as I will need to create many entities, each with their own code. Things don't go to plan however and I discover some quite major problems with the physics and tilemap code.
