Summary0005365: Enemy Ready For Coding: UrbanCrawler
DescriptionThis one would be really slow-moving and high-health, and fire periodic shots that do lots of damage including environmental damage (exploding trees, anyone?). I think it should be immune to most of the environmental damage it causes, and probably immune to fire as well. Perhaps weak to lightning, again, like some other robotic stuff.

It also needs to have some AI to never go off of any cliff, and to never try to jump (and have no jump ability).

The slightly unusual thing about the art of this one is that it has a wheel that is separate from the rest of the body. When it is moving, that wheel needs to rotate. The wheel is a separate image that will need to be drawn over top of the main body. This is something that I'm sure we'll do more of, with some other robotic crawler type things.

I suggest that we make the wheel also be a movement weakspot, that is aggressively hittable.

Lastly, for its actual firing, I think that is should fire straight-shot only. However, its main body could rotate to aim where it wants to shoot, and then when it fires it fires at whatever angle its guns are pointed at at the time. So you could tell when it is looking at you, more or less.

This is a moderately complex one, but will have a lot of code pieces that we can reuse on other enemies, which is good. More design thoughts, or ideas for higher-level versions of these with more functionality, are of course welcome as always, Keith.
