Got this booting and gave it a go! I enjoyed the decision making required for whether to destroy a drone or go for a pickup. I think could've ramped up a bit quicker and had lower HP; can feel a bit slow until you get to the point of 3-4 bots shooting at you constantly, and even then you got so much HP before it starts becoming a problem.
That being said, it's crazy how far you got with this with just pure C++! Really commendable.
