Description changed by jo:

Old description:

> Turrets are stationary towers equiped with weapons that automatically
> attack enemies.
>
> [[Image(turrent.png, right, border=1, nolink, width=250)]]
>  * Create a model of a defense tower or use an existing one. E.g.
> http://opengameart.org/content/turret-reviwed
>  * Create a proper texture.
>  * Create a class derived from controllable entity to describe the
> turrents moving capabilities.
>  * How can enemies be detected properly? Design a controller for the
> defensive turret.
>  * Equip the turret with a weapon. Create a weaponsetting.
>

>
> A new turret model + texture + some logic has been created in the autumn
> semester 2012. Some issues still have to be fixed:
>
>  * Limit the turret's angular movements (somehow it does not work
> properly, athough the right function has been overwritten).
>  * Limit the turret's linear movements. It should stick to its base and
> stay there.
>  * Improve the turret's AI such that it can make a difference between
> friends and foes.
>  * Attach the turret to the Planetary Destroyer.

New description:

 Turrets are stationary towers equiped with weapons that automatically
 attack enemies.

 [[Image(turrent.png, right, border=1, nolink, width=250)]]
  * Create a model of a defense tower or use an existing one. E.g.
 http://opengameart.org/content/turret-reviwed
  * Create a proper texture.
  * Create a class derived from controllable entity to describe the
 turrents moving capabilities.
  * How can enemies be detected properly? Design a controller for the
 defensive turret.
  * Equip the turret with a weapon. Create a weaponsetting.



 A new turret model + texture + some logic has been created in the autumn
 semester 2012. Some issues still have to be fixed:

  * Limit the turret's angular movements (somehow it does not work
 properly, although the right function has been overwritten).
  * Limit the turret's linear movements. It should stick to its base and
 stay there.
  * Improve the turret's AI such that it can make a difference between
 friends and foes.
  * Attach the turret to the Planetary Destroyer or embed it in a level.
 (What about having the transporter be defended by a turret?)
