| | | This is a 3D demo that is writen in much simpler language than anything I have found. I this that it will be alot easier for someone learning 3D to figure this out than some of the stuff on the net.
I'd Like 2 Thanx Shaid Benaris - Da VB6 - onwards professional gangsta - Thuglife

This Is Fantastic, Great Code! Does run
slow when solid is selected
though...Apart from that, 5 planets!!!

This is just great...
Really good...
It should use DirectX... then it will
be really faster

The code isn't exactly the best, the
game runs fine in wireframe mode, but
the lack of use of DirectX or opengl
makes the game play slow when rendered
and the graphics could be soo much
better if opengl or directx was
used!!!!!!!
|
6/9/2000 10:03:25 AM:VB God
In all fairness this code isn't exactly
the best, the lack of use of opengl or
directx makes the game when rendered
slow and the graphics fairly
boring,
However the basic code is
fairly sound, and is reasonably
efficient, i would personally like to
see this author do the same but using
opengl or directx!!!!
If he could do
that then i would be impressed!!!!!
|

Yeah, I agree, this could be alot
better. I don't claim to be the best,
and have 3D demos that run faster on a
486 than my code does on a pentium II
200. However, i'm getting better, and
am looking for ways of making a better
engine. I looked at DirectX but could
only find txts on who to display
bitmaps onto the screem (Ie 2D) As for
OpenGl... If you can point my in the
direction of a decent tutorial that
would help, please do
;0)

A note on optimising your code;
declaring variables -
Dim a, b, c As
Single
Declares a and b as Variants
and
c as a Single
Keep up the good
work!

In the readme it say you cant shoot
high and low, like an elavator. But try
this: Turn your brakes on by right
clicking the game area, then turn
froward view on, then long range radar.
YOu cant move side to side, but up and
down works!
|
6/19/2000 10:15:52 AM:Marc
yeah, you can move the view up and
down, but the tank stays on the ground,
and your missles do as well. You can
also do the same thing by pressing
shift, and moving the mouse around
|
6/23/2000 2:04:50 AM:kdkvc
if you unload all the forms when the
program closes(under main Form_Unload),
probably you don't need to press Ctrl
Alt Del to end task the entire
program...

Have a wait for my next tank game,
thats gonna be finished pretty soon,
that has much better code except for
the fill routine, that is as fast as I
can get it. Once I've done it, I'm
really gonna try to do a direct X
version, and include a network game,
now I almost have my network up &
running
|

On the full version you can use
textures on the tanks too. You can also
have a seperate screen and 'Ping'
network servers when you type in their
IP. Maybe even make a seperate map
editor. I would help you, but I can't
even do any graphics on VB.
|

I'll sound like a broken record, it's
not the fastest, but it's still very
cool. I see potential, I give it an
excellent.
|
7/4/2000 7:09:32 AM:Mark Burgess
I'm trying to do textures at the
moment. If I can get the screen shots
to work, then have a look at an
example. However, the tanks wouldn't be
able to be textured for reasons that
will be explained when I release the
next version of tank.
I have also
done a level editor, which is really
important on this version, as there are
walls and stuff to drive around.
|
7/4/2000 7:14:57 AM:...
note that the texture in the screen
shot is 8 bit, cos its in QBasic.
However, in VB, it'll be in 16 or 24
bit, so its gonna look better, and also
be higher resolution, cos the screen
shot is 320*200, but in VB it'll be
640*480 or 800*600
|
7/5/2000 9:07:37 AM:Michael Barnathan
A little too slow, and could use some
anti-aliasing with the textures, but
not bad. The use of DirectX can greatly
help this game. Also, if you're
interested in network/internet enabling
this game, I can help with it(Although
I'm helping someone else's tank game
right now... just call me the tank man
:). Nice game, 5 stars.
|
7/8/2000 12:48:55 AM:Andrew Armstrong
Cool game man!!! 5 Planets!!!
If you
do make it network compadible
(Multiplayer) and has DirectX for speed
I will love u for that! This is a
really kickass game!!!!!
Thanx!!!

Just a little note.... there is very
little commenting in the source code,
and there is no DirectX support. For
me, that makes this game useless for
learning - if you need blazingly fast
3d rendering, use direct3d - it's
really good and it's much faster than
software rendering... my p3 450mhz ran
at 4 fps with all the options on and
about 13-15 without any options. We're
talking 50 polygons here. Direct3d can
hit that speed with about 500 polygons.
Uhh, but enough ranting. This is good
if you are into software rendering, but
virtually any comp fast enough to run
this program would have a 3d
accelerator.
|
7/10/2000 11:12:50 PM:Kenneth G
Please, please, please, use Direct3d.
Any computer fast enough to run this
program with any speed in software mode
should have a competent 3d accelerator
- and then you'll be able to make
things blazingly fast. Oh yeah, and the
code is sparsely commented. Some like
it that way, some don't. Good code,
tho, and it does make the best of a bad
thing.

7/14/2000 6:59:41 AM:Marc Burgess
Ha ha, we are bi*chy are't we?! Okay,
seing how my intended next version has
gone all Pete Tong, i'll re-do Tank
Wars with Driect X, and I'll put loads
of comments in it. I'll also give out
my 3D tutorial, which will like totaly
show you how to do stuff. Honest. Come
back here in about a week or so, and
have another look.
