If it is then we know we have no elements and if it is not then we know there is stuff to process. Since we have a container we can check something else, namely, whether or not the container is empty. Those looking for a nuanced, customized challengecan activate a series of modifiers in the main menu.NULL really is only a concept of pointers. Null Vector is an Action game, developed and published by Optical Override, which was released in 2017. I consider hard mode to be Null Vector‘s true difficulty. There, enemies are more aggressive and shoot more as well as leave a trail of shots even after they die. Every enemy has a pattern, and it is up to players to determine which like to charge and ram, teleport, or shoot mortars. I would consider this too easy, but there is a harder difficulty, indicated by a purple environment.

Null Vector takes no longer than about twenty-five minutes to clear the entire game on the standard difficulty with the default settings, even while visiting every room. I consider myself a SHMUP veteran (bullet hells do not count). There are also nanomachines and helper bots, but I have no idea what they actually do. I save these for luxury-class items such as homing attacks or rapid shot. Some of these modules allow players to weld upgrades to the ship, attaching them permanently, and liberating an upgrade slot for future additions. One can typically only carry three upgrades at a time, either dropped after finishing a room, finding them in the “T” rooms, or via module. Discover and experiment with thousands of possible weapon combinations to maximize your firepower. Navigate six randomly generated sectors filled with danger and opportunity as you fight to confront the Final Boss. After that, I like to find a laser or missile bot if I can. Null Vector is a twin-stick shooter that seamlessly blends rogue-lite strategy with retro-style fun.

I also enjoy rockets, which I believe do extra damage without the “damage” upgrade, and the explosions do splash damage through obstacles. Because Null Vector fashions itself a retro style rogue-lite for the 21st century, I gravitate toward picking up shields, which gives me additional health that, unlike standard health, recharges at the conclusion of every room. Also, I risk getting hit by the aggressive blue enemy while taking this screenshot. NaN stands for Not A Number and is a logical vector of a length 1 and applies to numerical values, as well as real and imaginary parts of complex values, but not to values of integer vector. Here, my two laser bots are taking out enemies on the other side of the wall. Do not adjust your monitors that scoreboard is intentionally rendered blurry to simulate curved CRT displays of the past.
