Discussion: Problem with repeated shooting

[JonathanStarup]

I think it will be an issue for the optimal strategy that you can shoot every tick. This means that you can hold a corridor completely. This can be solved by:

1. Not having boards with dead-end corridors
2. Not allowing players to shoot every tick
3. ?

My vision for the future is to have the game highly configurable. It would take e.g. a JSON file with a bunch of configurations such as:

• shooting frequency
• shooting velocity
• number of bullets you have
• life points
• movement speed
• turning speed
• the board

Of course these are all hardcoded to mostly unreasonable defaults atm. But I think this config approach will make it easier to find the most reasonable/interesting rules and maybe help us keep things open to extension.

These speeds seem difficult with how significant atomic actions are, but I like it!
