game states / ODE / freeflight / XML io all-in-one demo

randomMesh · Post by **randomMesh** » Fri Feb 29, 2008 3:13 am

Overview
New: Windows binary!

I just released a first peek on my Irrlicht demo application.
It basically is a mixture of all the useful code found here in the forums.

The demo currently shows how to use
- oop
- xml io
- sound (irrKlang)
- freeflight (WASD / mouse look)
- a compass
- particle systems
- grass
- fog
- game states
- ode (physics and collison detection)

Planned features are:
- networking

Where to get
Linux
You can get the demo (binary with sources) here. (9.9 MB)

To build the binary yourself, you may use the provided Makefile.

Windows
Thanks to MasterGod there is now a Windows binary of the demo.
You can get it here. (4.6 MB)
Note that this is an older version of the demo without sources.

Known bugs and issues
Saving the config.xml by applying changes either in the options menu or the player setup, lags badly. Don't know why this happens, because the writing to file itself is done in a second. (messed up event receiver?)

Changelog
There is another new version. A lot of changes have been made

- improved documentation
- cleaned up code
- added goodies

Credits
A lot of code provided by vitek and arras made it into this demo.
Thanks a lot guys. Last but not least i want to thank bitplane for his wonderful GrassSceneNode.

Bleeding edge screenhots
These screenshot show the current development. The provided packages are older!

Runs fine on my debian derivate :-).

Nice code and very useful - I don't think we had good examples for freeflight so far!

The only minor bug I noticed was that it takes very long after saving options (username) until you can again do something (like 15 seconds).

One question mark would suffice I think

I did have the same problem though, something about the application configuration incorrect. I always have that problem when I try to redistribute something made with msvc.

Sorry, i don't know. The Windows executable is not from me, i don't own Windows. (and don't want to).

No, it's not different. All used libraries are cross-platform. Just compile.

I think you are currently using Windows Vista?? Irrlicht haven't got any problem with Windows Vista. You can try to execute the game exe file only.

Excuse me, may I reuse your source code in my program. It's a open source Irrrlicht game project.

Edited for: correct spelling

Hi there, I make a little cut/paste to your code and created a simpler sample with 1 state:
