Follow the shore

Postby N-Aldwitch » Sat Dec 30, 2006 1:29 am

How about a function when you're close to the shore, to 'continue 5 pixels or more' along the shore? The amount of pixels away from the shore could be customizable. This way a ship can navigate it's way around an island or continent pretty much until it reaches where it started.

Note this is also great for island defense/patrol- a town on the K-Island for example could build a harbor, create 5 or so longboats and have then departing at seperate intervals, constantly patrolling the island for potential invaders.

Hehe exactly what Deadboy said, and also, you won't have to wake up every few minutes to turn around a corner!

Too complicated to program ;) ... And just develop proper sailing maps - it's kinda silly how many sailors in Cantr ignore the maps and just follow the coast! :)

Hehe this is such a stupid thread.

'Can I have an implementation to make sailing easier?'-me
'No too complicated. Make sailing easier by getting a sail map.'
'Ah that sucks, where can I get one?'-me
'Make it yourself.'
'Doesn't that mean I have to sail?'-me
AND back to square one again.
