View LVL in 3D

[★ doc flabby]

Kinda useless, but was created more for my own amusement and learning purposes than intended use in this project.

 

Tests out the new game/graphics engine im trying out

I think the version I uploaded first was missing some DLLs, redownload. Controls cant be changed. (unless you edit the source, which is in the my branch of the ss2 svn ) Edited May 9, 2008 by doc flabby

cool works now...

 

and u are right, that is the most useless dev tool rofl

 

i was somewhat expecting the blocks to be in 3D

[⛊ Drake7707]

yeah, make cubes out of the surfaces , which is not that hard to do if you draw them tile per tile based (would be lots harder when the image is prerendered on a surface)

Everything works, just some of the buttons are way too sensitive, and like last time I think this should at least be fixed.

Arrow keys = move

pgup/pgdown zoom

L load new level

After struggling with gimble lock and quartians i finally have 3d motion working! with full 6dof decent style. Even apollo 11 had trouble with gimble lock

 

yaw = ad

pitch = ws

roll = qe

 

thrust = up/down

zoom = pgup/down

The controls as usual are still too touchy, making it difficult (and frustrating without a reset button) to even see anything if you press the wrong buttons. And I don't understand how thrust Up sends my ship backwards, while Down goes forward...

[rootbear75]

ya, doc flabby, please please PLEASE remove the controls off the frame rate or w/e its doing

Might need some help with the framerate issue, ill be merging my code into the trunk in the next few days, if anyone has some ideas would be interested.

 

Heres a couple of weeks old demo which shows off some (vaugly) exiting things.

-sprite rotation and selection

-sprite animation (check out the rotating asteroid on "fire")

-unoptimised particle engine (rather lame fire only one color)

 

Particle engine is something you might enjoy expanding on and improving.

Also need some way of splitting a LVL up such that i can render the part that is visible each frame, not the entire thing each frame.

 

ill be merging my code into the trunk in the next few days

 

I think the engine is fairly close to reaching a milestone in terms of its 2d support.

Still need to create & customize the design of GUI and HUD ingame.

 

As I've said before the main aim by the end of the year is to have at least the functionality (that does not mean it will work in anyway similar internally or have the same api ) of the current continuum game engine.

nice. can't wait to add more to it.

[rootbear75]

based on ur perspective:

 

From a releaseable (and working (although maybe buggy e.g. Thirdspace alpha)) alpha or beta, how far are you along (percentagewise)

Edited June 28, 2008 by rootbear75

[★ doc flabby]

Probably around 20%

 

The aim is to have a playable alpha by the new year.

This has been done
