Things are now on fire and can explode.

I can command my monsters to assault me with brightly colored balls!

Mahahahaha!

This AIMaster class is trickier than I originally thought. Yet another glorious example of how work tends to expand exponentially.

Working on an AIMaster class. This class will essentially be another unit on the playing ground, but it has the unique job of giving the other units under it's authority orders. Upon death of the AIMaster all units revert to their default behavior, which typically makes taking out the monsters easier.

It's official. My monsters can now surround me and proceed to beat me to a pulp.

An unexpected side-effect was that in the midst of their flailing at me, they beat each other to a pulp as well.

Friendly fire ftw

yay, problems fixed in the AIChase code. I can (in theory because I feel miserable and would rather go home than test it) make a group of monsters that surround the player.

Trying to implement a crude (?) AI system.

Effectively, the various objects will add AIModule subclasses to a vector of AIModules, and each module will take some action each time. For instance, the AIChase module chases a target and tries to get to a certain spot around them. The AIAttack module waits until the target is within range and attacks.

Looks like it might be working so far, although AIChase seems to not want to get on the right side of the target.
