Marbles 1.1

Post by Brainsaw »

Hello,

I have uploaded version 1.1 of my first Irrlicht game to my Homepage (http://bulletbyte.de/download/marbles.zip) yesterday. I do now (really) declare this project finished. The changes I implemented are mainly in the source code, I tried to "clear" it a bit up, make it more "object oriented" :wink:. The main idea behind this game was to get going in Irrlicht, so I have some ideas for my next game (I think I will call it "Marbles 2" :wink:). Things to change for the next game:

- move the ODE worldStep function call to it's own thread
- add joypad control
- add SDL (if I get it running :? )
- 2 Player mode (I think I will stick to splitscreen for that)

I hope that nevertheless this game is fun for a person or another. Me and my brother (my Beta-tester) do especially like the "Stunt Marble Racer 3" level, the "Bowling" level includes some pins that must be kicked away to reach the finish of the level.[/url]

OK, just got a message on the german Irrlicht Forum that this version doesn't work. Strange thing, I tested it at home yesterday before uploading it. I replaced it by an older version that should work (just the fine new "Bowling" level doesn't work here) and will search for the problem on the weekend.

Sorry I have no feedback on the game (yet) but some screenshots (use imageshack.us) are always welcome :)

Cheers :D

OK, I think I have found (and hopefully fixed) the bug I mentioned above. I have also put some screenshots on http://bulletbyte.de/pix/marbles/, but I have to explain that I am not an artist for sure (at least no 3D artist :wink: ). Still hope for some feedback.[/url]

Hi, Brainsaw.

Just tried your demo on nvidia 5700LE 256 mb, 256 ddr. 2.4 intel celeron.
First windows throw message (after setting resolution) "Application or DLL d3dx_30.dll is not valid Windows image..." then i press OK and game loads. :?:(probably problem is this PC). At start point ("Beginner's First") in game sphere penetrates thru
and fall down but in next try it run fine. Can you set option to invert camera
because its hard for me in current setup to control it.
If i exit with alt-f4 console throws endless message "DIRECT3D9 present failed" but it quits fine when selecting "quit" in menu.

All in all very good. Nice idea for menu btw.
