he doesn't dodge it. lol noob.

no not really.. he dies when he reaches home and commits alcoholic suicide from the overwhelming hatred he receives from citizens in a world he was trying to protect after a dishonorable discharge for flying too close to asteroids duuuhhh everybody knows this story didn't you see the ending to rambo V?

heh but seriously...

call him "dodger" and have him talk to base commander "under".

Very nice for beta phase!!!
If you have that much now I can't wait to see the finished product

You're going to release the sources, right?

How bout adding split screen for multi player?

Bugs:
There's a bug that the health bar is only shown in a new game, when I press the Try again button the game starts without a health bar.
Another bug, more annoying with the keys. I can't explain this so just play with left,right,up,down try to type fast, hold keys, e.g: left then fast-right then left while holding right then tap right few times and such games..

i tried the game, here are some comments:

1) during collision, asteroid should pop-out or change direction.

2) ship should show it is being banged by the asteroid.

Err, probably, if you want.

You mean online or just one keyboard use it both side?

Thanks for report... fixing this one.

I think it's affected by the frame rate... don't know how to fix this one though...

1. hmm...
2. I will try use particles to do this.

Thanks for the feedbacks.

One keyboard for this version

- Maybe later you can add network..

And maybe, just maybe you can make it the Irrlicht Begginers Manual project theme.
I mean make version 0.1 the first project that doesn't uses fancy things, then in the second project part add v0.2 which will use more advanced things..

I guess it only means you will have to have a very cleaned code but except that I think it would be a great idea

I'll be sure to want the release version code. Thanks.

P.S
Just thought of it, maybe you can add different asteroids with different texture and size

My intention was to make a simple mini game just for fun. So I guess I won't add any fancy stuffs in. I can send you the source code if you want when the project has done so that you can use some of the codes for the manual as examples, but heh, it is quite messy and... funny.
For example, you will see some funny codes like this one:

Code: Select all

Virion->addAsteroid(0,3000,18,-18,1.2,0.5,0.7,0.5,0.8,1);

It would be cool to see this extended to become a sort of Irrlicht standard game.

A lot of people got this error when run my game: (one of them sent me this)

I don't know what this means. Some people can launch it some people can't.

could it be related to that redistributable thing?
