Nice prototype. Maybe moving around can be made more challanging. bc the timelimit was in none of th levels a problem and the traps didn't really bother.
Another thing is after playing i wanted to make my own level. But there is no level editor so i checked on the levelformat. unfortunatly its the irrlicht sceneformat so i guess u placed everything by yourself. Maybe write a leveleditor. having a simple leveformat like that makes an editor pretty simple to code as well and u could click together level pretty fast.
I made a bomberman clone ones and wrote a mazeeditor and generator for it. so even random levels are no problem. but that would mean u have to change your whole levelformat. Anyways nice work

Thanks.

I used IrrEdit to create the levels, so you can use that to create new levels.
I'm not planning on creating an editor for this game, at least not at this point in time.

About the difficulty, I too think it's kind of easy so far, I'll see what I can add to make it more challenging

Great, finally someone writes a game with Irrlicht that actually runs on my linux system :-) (debian-lenny for info). Looks very smooth, nice mirrors and controls work also good.

Needs a little more action, maybe drop in a few ghosts ;-)

@BlindSide:

lol. Thanks.
Supremacy Errands will be released as soon as I fix some annoying bugs with the scene management.

@andres: Thank you.

@CuteAlien: Thank you, I'm glad it works fine. I'll add more challenging elements.

The game was made as a request from a friend, and it is more of a small side-project, to learn how to program cross-platform.

Did you use a shader for the reflection on the floor.

andrei25ni · Post by **andrei25ni** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 10:29 am

No, it's a simple work-around.

The walls are simple cubes, which I cloned and positioned them under the original ones. And the floor is 50% transparent.

The poly-count doesn't influences the game speed, and the end effect is quite nice.

Thus explaining the lack of reflexion of the spikes ^^
