animate

So I did a little work tonight on the game. I tried drawing some sprites for the player, the idea being the main body being the tank and then a range of tops for the barrel to show it at different angles. Tried quite a few things and all looked rubbish then I hit on the idea of using the line I drew in the test as the barrel, ok its not as wide as I would have wanted but it works and works well. So on top of that I tried to animate the player rolling onto screen, stopping then extending the barrel before the game starts and the player can do anything. This is what it looks like.

I'm going to dial back the time I spend working on this over the next week as all I have done of late is Work and code this. I won't stop completely but I will spend a little less time on it as I now need to write out a lot of stuff and work out how parts of the game will hang together like difficulty. Once I work out how this will hang together I can re-work functions and code. I also need to work out what the title screen should look like.
