GeneralQuarters

A strategic naval battle game.

Only has two player hot seat for the moment Game flows as follows:

• Player 1 selects a formation by clicking the British flag (there is only one formation)

• Player 1 then plans the movements for the formation (you don't move individual ships)

• Player 1 ends their planning phase with KP 5

• Player 2 selects formation and plans moves

• Player 2 ends their planning phase with KP5

Movement is played out simultaneously

• Player 1 selects each marker (left click) then chooses a target in the enemy formation (right click)

• Player 1 repeats for each marker

• Player ends their target phase with KP5

• Player 2 selects each marker and target

• Plyaer 2 ends their target phase with KP5

Combat plays out simultaneously

Repeat

generalquarters's Issues

Need a way to change the formation

Move markers during move phase

Right-clicking target should give some positive feedback

Add zoom and pan options

Process "move formation" keystrokes

If flotilla has just one formation then auto select that formation

Need to remove sub-phases for moving and combat game modes

Don't display p1 ghosts when moving to p2 planning mode

The movement and combat camera need to scale to get all formations on the screen

Test multiple formations in a flotilla

Add a game loop, add font, write game stage in corner

Press undo during planning phase

Display red circle under markers that are targets

Somehow display marker names

Combat mode: somehow show shooting and target lines

Formation turn clockwise past 359 degrees is bugged

The players name/nation is positioned too high. Make it nicer.

Move the mouse text closer to the target/mouse pointer

Fine tuning camera work and preserving zoom settings

Establish main menu

Do beeps and buzzes when trying to move a formation without selecting it

Add little flags on formations

Add keyboard mapping module

Make the formation marker larger
