Smooth 2D Game Camera

This is an attempt at implementing a smooth camera movement algorithm for 2D games. It was inspired by this amazing demonstration of "Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAKwZt3aXQM

Implemented Features

• Camera looking ahead based on the movement of the player
• Moving focus to Points of Interest with inner and outer area of influence
• Bounding Box to keep the player on screen
• Repulsive Points to push the camera away
• Zooming
• Integration with Universal Tween Engine (http://www.aurelienribon.com/blog/projects/universal-tween-engine/)

Possible Future Features

• Player aiming (as seen in ITSP)
• Overlapping Points of Interest
• Camera Snapping to one axis (maybe needed for platformers?)

libGDX Demo

A demo application and debug renderer for the libGDX framework are included. It uses Box2D to handle collision detection and player movement. Learn more about libGDX here: http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/
