Game scenario

Several missions are available. Only some of them are accessible depending of the results of the missions finished before.

When a mission starts a briefing is proposed with the description of the target to reach.

A mission could be composed of several stages.
The player has to go to different stages in order to finish the mission.
For that, the player should use doors or mechanisms, the doors or mechanisms authorise the player to go through the stages of the mission.

The player should manage the object collected, because is not possible to carry out all the objects found. The player can drop some objects in order to collect new one when the list of objects is full.

And the player has to kill or destroy all the moving objects because those objets are always dangerous.


AI of the moving object

The moving object could 3 kinds of objects :
- projectile : these objects could be destroyed by the player.
- objects which launch projectile : only the object could be destroyed by the player
- contact objects : if the player touch the object, the life decreases.

The behavior of the moving object could be :
- follow a  path
- appear and disappear at different location
- static

all the moving objects are focused automatically to the player.
