Irrlicht Engine

If you have to ask, then no.

Indeed, the level design and trying to increase/maintain difficulty with each new level was quite a challenge. The problem is, it's very subjective.

I wrote about some of the challenges encountered here

I see, I think that in the old game I played, you were only able to push boxes so It was quite a brain teaser. Then again it might be just my brain playing tricks, cause that was quite some time ago. :D There have been many games like that. I remember one back in the Windows 95 days, where there wa...

You can both pull and push objects. There's no way to actually lose the game, you just take too long to finish the level and if it's high score you're after, you've got to do better

Hey! It's me, Eigen, the guy who was working on Front Warrior and posted bunch of screenshots about it but never really got anywhere with the project. I haven't been much active for a while. Since then I've come to realize that the only way I'll ever complete anything is to scale back and work on sm...

Off-topic, but your name is John Romero??!!!! That is really cool. You should use that to help sell your game.

I might give the game a try some time.

spam?

Hmm, I see. Perhaps it's worth trying alternative methods of checking if a point is on a triangle (I know there's one dealing with barycentric coordinates)? When I get home, I'll give it a go. Or I could use floats instead of ints, but I'd rather keep the casting back and forth to a minimum as I'm d...

Either I'm doing something very wrong or there is a bug. Using Irrlicht 1.7.1 but I highly doubt that matters. This returns true triangle3di(vector3di(25, 0, 0), vector3di(0, 0, 50), vector3di(50, 0, 50)).isPointInside(vector3di(30,0,30)) This returns false . What gives? isPointInsideFast return tru...

If code is of a low quality it's entirely the programmers fault; there's no excuse for writing bad code, even if the hardware allows for less optimization Agreed, there is no excuse, but I'm just saying it's inevitable that you become (or might become) less bothered with optimizations and such if t...

As hardware gets better and more capable, programmers get sloppier because there are no real performance issues to be tackled. Sure, methods for code/project organization/management are being improved on and researched, but the quality of code, I believe, suffers in quality.

Devsh, with some modifications, it could be made to look like a pencil drawing (keep the edges wavy but a little smoother to look like hand drawing, also a litte smudge here or there .. or straighten them out completely and go for a blueprint style of drawing), it could be quite an interesting artis...

I think I've never understood the point of having different themes on a message-board. What's the point? I can understand choosing between a light/dark versions depending on screen type and lighting conditions around you etc., but having slight color variations .. who cares?

I'll post something more natureish. The rock model is so badly UV-mapped, but oh well.



Front Warrior

I think I like omaremad's screenshot best so far.

With an unexpected burst of motivation over this weekend, I implemented automatic turrets that fire at enemies. So now, nearing the enemy base is actually a deadly thing to do, which, ironically, make the level actually feel more alive. I also added an bullet flying effect (you know .. the fire line...
