So... basicaly Demon has been yelling at me to get to work and produce something...
I figured that I would put something over here as a preliminary to actually making my own forum.. and web page... cuz all of that is a big pain.. and I only get to work on things rarely anyways.. dont want anyone to get bored...
I have started to get back into working on stuff, You guys saw a quick screen shot of my little space game as it sits...
Basicaly you can fly around and shoot at things..
There are those two other ships to shoot at.. but they dont do anything yet (like fight back!!!)
Right now i have been working on a few little things to move it toward game-hood..
1) Radar screen
( the radar screen will help you track enemy ships that are not on-screen.. it is also a prelude to enemy AI.. because enemy ships should only see whats on thier radar too!)
2) Sound system...
( I am using OpenAL, however there are some minor issues that i have to work out, for instance the 3D sound attenuates too fast (it gets quiet really fast as you move away from sound source))
3) Graphics system
( There are some things that I want to implement from the old SPACE JUNK game that we worked on back in highschool... one of the biggest is chunks of ships blowing off..
I havent figured it out yet.. But when i figure more of the graphics stuff out.. I am sure tarn will help me with the actual break-chunk algorithm)
4) AI
( I have already started to do some modifications so that the enemys can actualy move their ships when they want to... they just dont have any wants yet!!) When Radar is done The will be able to make decisions about who go after and when to shoot...
Thats about it...
Feel free to add any comments and I will try to respond in kind...
If things really get going at any rate.. then I will actually start my own Projects forum... and maybe even put up a web page..
Here is where it becomes up to you! :-)
