I have been hard at work programming. Got some simple movement programmed for the player, customer, cart, and car.
While playing around with the code, I changed up a game play aspect involving the cart. In the previous standard kernel Bag Boy the player would basically intercept a cart before it hit the car. In this version the player grabs a cart and returns it to a customer walking in front of the grocery store. Once delivered the cart re-spawns.
A couple issues I am having are that the car constantly spawns on the bottom aisle, the player has a hard time holding the cart, and when the cart touches the customer it can sometimes linger gaining extra points or bounce around, get loose, and head back to the car.
I had also shortened Bag Boy's legs by one line. I had thought he was looking rather tall, especially when compared to the cars. I am still looking to see if I can stretch out the cars a bit so they don't seem so disproportionately small but I kind of like the way they look.
I think I improved the issue with the cart getting away from the player by including a !collision(player0,player1) line. The cart still requires the player to keep moving but it is an improvement. I may include something to utilize the fire button...
