Revision as of 07:55, 25 November 2022


The Yet Another New Idea page mentions a SMOP saying "rays and projectiles can be fired at an arbitrary target square, not just vertically, horizontally and diagonally." As such, I had a few thoughts about how it would be implemented.

Basically, treat the level as a Euclidean grid of squares, and treat the ray/projectile to be traveling from the center of the origin tile to the center of the target tile.

  • Each time the ray/projectile enters a tile occupied by a monster:
    • For a projectile, it has a chance of hitting that monster rather than the target.
    • For a ray, it has a chance of hitting the monster (and go through).
    • The "chance" mentioned above are determined by the Euclidean distance between the trajectory and the center of the monster's tile.

Of course, it would not so look nice on the TTY interface. Could be cool on graphical interfaces tho.
