Idea Horse Archery

The idea here is sort of complicated, and possibly hard to code. Easy version and Hard version.

Basic Idea:

The main idea here is to snipe with your bow at targets. All players start out on horses, like the old horse racing game. Then it starts. This isn't your traditional one though, as the horses go fast-and they move on their OWN. Each player is in-sync with each other, with different routes so they don't get mixed up. In the sky are mobs that players snipe with points. Small mobs like a chicken would be worth more points, and zombies less, etc etc. So the main concept is that the horse moves on it's own, and the player snipes mobs on the way to get points at the finish line. There would be curves and things though, and you have the player head tilt towards the direction of the horse's direction.

Note: The basic idea IS the easy idea.

Harder Idea:

Now, this one is the slightest harder. The basic idea is the same, only this time the horse is under your control...sort of. When players start, they have to manually move along the path. However, they still need to bow the mobs in the air, but they don't have the bow in the start. You have to hit space rapidly and gain 1-100 EXP points. When you're ready, press shift and you get 1-100 seconds (Depending on your EXP level).

A timing system is introduced though. The way to get points is holding space bar till the half mark will be 1 EXP point (The exact, half.), and the full one would be 3 EXP points. You have to do this WHILE steering. Once you hit shift for your time, the player gets the bow and the horse uses the navigation AI to move. Then the player can hit the mobs. Near the end of the player's time though, it would give a notification sound as in to tell "YOUR TIME IS ALMOST UP FOR SHOOTING!". Once it ends, the horse AI disables and the player has to repeat the start.

 

Maybe. I picked animals because I thought of a black scenery, and bright sheep. But maybe a fallingsand entity or something could work...

 

Hmm...Unique catch.

Maybe some sort of things like this, where the BEST player picks a certain theme or catch for each round? Like, whoever won last round would get to be modifiers like "Blindness" or maybe have their horse sort of wave in lines.

 

Maybe.

But what prevents you from breaking the carts?

And the whole steering part...
