Level 3 testing background animation..

I've linked in the video preview of me testing the first bit of background animation on Level 3 of the game. These animations are the industrial like fans and some beacon-type lights. The fans are animated dynamic characters with four frames of animation in total and are updated on-screen every other frame. The lights get updated every 16 frames.

Note, the preview only shows about 40% of the level. Lots will change between now and the finished game.  I will be looking to add player firing routines and enemies next.  Some enemies will be fixed to the scrolling background, others will move in wave formations as you typically see in a shoot'em-up.  The remaining background animations will be added once all the game logic is complete.

Feedback so far has been quite positive as the level isn't typical of what you would normally expect to see in a shoot'em-up, which is the overall aim.  More updates to follow.
