When the ball hits the side of the paddle, it would get stuck because
the paddle moves faster than the ball. This commit forces the post-
collision vertical velocity of the ball to be going up and makes sure
that new ball's y-position is higher than in the previous frame.
When I play Pong, I don't really pay attention to whether my mouse is in
the Pong window. That means that sometimes, annoyingly, the window loses
my mouse, and I lose control of the paddle. Gasp! D:
This commit teaches Pong the wonders of global mouse tracking, thus
enabling the player to focus solely on the game.
This application was including, opening and unveiling the path for
a config file, however it never actually reads or saves anything
from the configuration file.
Since it's easy enough to add it back later if needed, probably
makes sense to remove the unused code right now?
There was a lot of error handling here previously when writing to
a config file failed, but this was removed since we have no way of
conveying a `Config::write` failure from the ConfigServer.
The current flap strength makes the game a lot more difficult than
other flappy games. Decrease the flap strength to make it a little
easier to get higher scores.
Before this change I could only get past 3 or 4 obstacles, now I can
get 15 or 20 in, which seems more on par with other flappy games.
This allows for typing [8] instead of [8, 8, 8, 8] to specify the same
margin on all edges, for example. The constructors follow CSS' style of
specifying margins. The added constructors are:
- Margins(int all): Sets the same margin on all edges.
- Margins(int vertical, int horizontal): Sets the first argument to top
and bottom margins, and the second argument to left and right margins.
- Margins(int top, int vertical, int bottom): Sets the first argument to
the top margin, the second argument to the left and right margins,
and the third argument to the bottom margin.
Previously the argument order for Margins was (left, top, right,
bottom). To make it more familiar and closer to how CSS does it, the
argument order is now (top, right, bottom, left).
This also has the added benefit that after a restart we don't get the
same random numbers all the time because we forgot to initialize the
RNG with srand().
