Little Strategy Game - Need Help with program

Post by ehenkes »

In a little team (three persons: developer, grafic guy, game designer / tester) we have entered now game programming with irrlicht. I'm the developer, experienced in C/C++ and MS Windows, but not in game programs. Currently I use MS VC++ 2008 Express, irrlicht, irrklang, irrXML. We have no financial interests and want to develop a little strategy game with movements and attacks. I would like to have some help and advice by another programmer. Anybody interested in experience exchange? (can be a beginner, too)
I am also interested to help in other projects, just want to improve my game development skills with irrlicht.

Here is an image of the design:

Well not sure what kind of strategy game you aim for ...its not entirely clear from your screenshot but you will probably need some pathfinding. As your "world" seems to be made of tiles you can look at A* algorithm.

Looks more like some kind of chess (very limited movement).

You should have a look at the chess programming series on gamedev.net
