Can asteroids rip through your ship?
This is a first simple attempt at adding an asteroid hazard to the game. And first trick was to just make something move. Just the basics get something moving and then go from there. Pretty simple pretty messy the bigger feat will be making it move as one and figuring out some center of mass things etc. Easy stuff for tomorrows me to figure out.
At first I actually had it tear through the ship right through the / angled parts just an accidental positioning. Then moving it down like in the first half of the clip it just kind of rammed into the ship and stuck on the hull. That type of material will have a valid use later on in this dev.
However I quickly made it so that it would go throw thin ship hull. And it also has the added bonus here of ripping through the ship floor too. I cannot wait to also add the thermal and lighting effects to this. Its going to be a pretty cool looking effect. I hope it will anyway we'll see if I can pull it off.
I also forgot to mark the ship wall properly for repairable things, one of the first things I'll do tomorrow. Its good to have something to fix first thing makes a good first win and want to get more done.
