Implementing the Ammunition Class

Although tanks firing huge missiles with a lot of explosions everywhere is probably what you're used to seeing in a game (or movie), you can make this implementation simpler. Your bullets can be small bouncing pellets because, after all, I'm sure you don't want to promote violence! What you need now is an implementation.

Continuing with the theme in Tankers, you create a new code file for the “bullet” class. The included CD calls the file bullet.cs, and the initial implementation appears in Listing 15.1.
