Irrlicht Game Logic Engine Released! [ GHS-GLE ]

[Systemerror]

GreyHat Software - Game Logic Engine [pre-alhpa demo]:

This engine is aimed for games developers using the Irrlicht 3D engine developed in C++. As Irrlicht doesn't have any game logic within it, this aims to help solve this problem by giving the game programmer a framework to run off. It is built upon functions and classes which are easily used, powerfull and portable which can save the programmer tonnes of time as this will do most of the work under the hood (A few lines of code can have amazing results) - which in this pre-alhpa demo build has the following features:

* Easy rendering device calling with one function call using GHS-GLE default parameters
* Easier event handling managment
* Finite State Machine
* Game logic functionallity, such as: Play, Pause, Un-Pause, Quit
* Default shell from which to work from
* Easy OO code managment
* Good documentation and commenting
* A real-world sample, exe and source

License:

Basically, this pre-alpha demo build is freeware and all we ask is, if you use this within your project (Whether you edited resources/code etc or not) that you put This Image on your game/application, and if you really want to show your appreciation then feel free to link us on your site, lastly, some feedback would be nice so we can taylor future development to our audience as best as possible.

System Requirements:

N/A

Irrlicht 3D 1.5 or above.

Download


Also you can wath the video of the example provided, which uses just a few lines of code

in your video it look like very cartoony im developing a game for kids could you give advices and examples to make my game look like yours
mine is SAJAN i want mine to look like yours

[Systemerror]

You're missing the point, the game animation is just meant as an example of a game running, the graphics has no relevance, it's what it stands for.

P.S

The poor video quality doesn't help, but either way it's irrelevant.

[moekkog]

i know that it doesn't have anything about your project i just want that my game look like yours if your are using some effects or textture or whatever and thats what i asked before

[Systemerror]

If you download it, that is the demo source, exe with all media files so just use that.


OK back on topic.

Moekkog I know you are interested in his videos art style, but please don't derail his project announcement post. This question could be asked via private massage.

Systemerror, Yet another good looking project from you. Keep it up!

This could not be called engine, but this is extreme stuff for newbies who's just starting to program games or another stuff. You fully explained to me(and I hope to others too) how to make menu->game and backwards to menu system(was working on this for 3 days, and it is so simple, that I'm feeling -> ) I appreciate it. Good work.

EDIT: I was allways confused on these damn menu->game, game->menu systems

[Systemerror]

Thanks guys,

Yes, this is aimed for people new to the Irrlicht engine, and also for people who are struggling to make simple game logic from it.

When I first started out with Irrlicht I really struggled trying to get a menu based FSM to work with simple game logic, primaraly because you have to have a good/reasonable knowledge on the engine and then have to hard-code a lot of it yourself, that said, I thought this could really help the people that was in a similar situation as I. One can honestly say that I would have found this very valuble when I first started with Irrlicht 3D engine so I hope some of you guys do too.

interesting submission, probably not helpful if you making a game but its probably helpful as a learning tool. The community thanks you.

[Systemerror]

This is only a light pre-alhpa demo though, I am working on making it full scale, maybe into a full blown game engine with (free) middleware API's for audio and physics on top of Irrlicht - I dunno, I am currently busy working on Deep Sleep right now, but something to think about in the future.

[MasterGod]

Its a nice idea but the demo is "C" code..
I mean it could be useful making it in C++ and doing it OOP. You could do it in C and it would be great and good and all of that but.. but you know what I'm saying..

And I also understand that it's pre-alpha though I wouldn't code a single line in a pre-alpha phase so its kinda weird that you submit an executable with code at such early stage..

P.S
Pre alpha is still a designing stage as far as I know so this is why I'm saying that..
I'm still interested in the full version though, or at least something close to that..

[Systemerror]

Ive just completed version 1.1 of this which has improvements on it's prior features, more "menu" and "in-Game" logic, also IrrKlang audio and other features (I'm working on a Save/Load feature for 1.2) man, this has made my life so much easier, you can literally have full blown game logic play within approx 10 mins, of-course that will only be a shell but has everthing prepared for you to use and insert custom code.

some feedback would be nice

This reminds me of programming job interview questions where they give you a section of code and ask you to highlight bugs and issues. With just a quick perusal of the header file I can find 10 issues.

I would recommend some investigation into coding techniques/standards/methodologies and going back to the "drawing board" to start afresh.

It's up to you to decide what you do with this feedback.

Well, I just had a (VERY) quick overlook. On this (VERY) quick overlook, I didn't (YET) see any problems by itself However, there are some nomenclatures which aren't respected and could mean problems for some.

1. Multiple class in a single file. That's a classic.

2. "using namespace" with no or little use of their members. Worst, you both use irr and std, meaning you can have conflicts on say map since both implements one version.

3. Lack of comment. Yeah, seriously, that one should be fixed

Well, just a quick comment, good luck
