Tower Defence Engine v0.9 (UPDATED)

Created By:

Edit: v0.9 is here! I need any last suggestions/fixes before I submit to Klik-Disc.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Any questions, suggestions or things that really need fixing, send me a mail at The Daily Click.

For open-source November at The Daily Click. (www.create-games.com)

This is an open-source version of an engine for a tower defence which includes tools to create the monsters/waves and the towers that are used in the game. All the code is commented, hopefully fairly well and easy for people to understand.

All the graphics used in this are original and created by myself, therefore they are NOT to be used without permission.

I hope you find this useful in some way, you may even find applications for some of the coding in completely different projects which have nothing to do with tower defence games.

CONTROLS

The game is completely mouse-controlled, using left click to perform actions and place towers, right click to cancel placing a tower, click outside the tower menu to close it, left click a tower to select it to view stats/upgrade. Right click towers to upgrade if possible.

You can also use some hotkeys, B to open/close tower menu, Q to quit, Y/N to confirm yes or no to quit, if you win/lose R to replay or Q to quit.

=========================

UPDATED IN THIS VERSION (v0.9)

Made a lot of great changes for v0.9 which should please everyone.

+ Map editor added, map loading integrated into main engine
+ Select data files screen; use different files if you don't want to mess with the default files or you could trade maps etc
+ Controls: complete mouse control is possible now, but still kept the hot-keys
+ Shift-build - you can hold shift while building a tower to place multiples rather than opening the build menu again
+ Various fixes have been done
+ Health-bars for creeps will follow them and let you know how damaged they are
+ Hovering over a tower shows it's attack power, range, and if it's able to upgrade how much that costs
+ Upgrading possible now, in the tower editor for each tower you can select another tower to upgrade to and how much it costs
