OMG this game rox! man i wish i could
do stuff like this. You know what you
should do Jared?, try make a 3D RPG
game, goto www.auranjet.com that's a
good 3D engine.
|
5/16/2001 3:12:17 PM:Jared Bruni
I am already working on a 3D engine,
for an RPG game with a few other
awesome programmers. It will be out in
the future.

Note, on some computers some of the
hero and grandma's images come out
incorrect. The colors dont show, if
this happens to you , change all the
colors keys on those 2 images from
248,0,248 to 255,0,255

5/16/2001 8:13:37 PM:Jared Bruni
Thanks to deslock for finding those
problems with the color key under
different versions of windows.

Hm. Well, if you liked this, and if
you're not violently opposed to VB,
there's another program here on planet
source code that should interest you --
The Scrolling Game Development
Kit.

This codes are all magical for me:) I
still have to learn very mutch. I did
some graphical programming in VB, but
that's a long time ago. I only made
some win-apps (and a couple of unix
console) in C++, mainly string
manipulation. I also liked your
complacted script language code:) Also
I don't fully onderstand it I learned
from it.
Anyway I want to start making
graphical games again is DirectX a
better choise is OpenGl since I already
have a little OpenGl experience en none
DirectX. Should I learn DirectX anyway?
If I want to make a very simple game
like snake what should I all use?

BTW isn't it better to replace
this:
switch(curmenu)
{
case
0:
my = 75+25;
break;
case
1:
my = 75+50;
break;
case
2:
my = 75+50+25;
break;
case
3:
my = 75+50+25*2;
break;
case
4:
my =
75+50+25*3;
break;
}
With
this:
my = 100 + (25 * curmenu);
?

5/21/2001 3:21:57 PM:Jared Bruni
Yea there are a few optomizations that
can be made , considering the rate at
which this code was written.

Thanks for the feedback I apperciate it

Choice between DirectX and OpenGL is
yours. I think DirectX is over
complicated and quite tedious to use at
times. OpenGL has its advantages as it
is used on multiple platforms. However
on windows I use DirectX because it has
more features, and is flexible. You
decide =]

I think your work is awesome, Jared,
but i could have made some improvement.
I don't have the time for it, and i'm
working on another big project!
Keep
it up, you'll someday find what you're
looking for!
cheers,
Jacques!

How do you do it in windows? (I not
advanced in C/C++) Anyway, this is good
enough to get somebody to buy this.
|
6/18/2001 7:09:53 AM:Jared Bruni
Thanks for the nice comment Mark, well
how do I do it in windows ? Practice
practice practice, until I have coded
so much the skin peels off my fingers.
no Pain no gain

Hey I just installed win2k, and I
notice the timers run at different
speeds. So if your running 2k and want
the game to run at the correct speed,
on the line
with the InitTimer
make
it
mxhwnd.InitTimer(1,50);
and
the speed will be correct
