What kind of game are you making, and how far have you got?

As for me, I'm writing a 3d space shooting game which is a bit like the n64/SNES game StarFox.

I've got the following done:

Player: class, movement, shooting, collision detection
level: loads level, currently from a .ms3d file put into an octree.
enemy: class, shooting, need to add AI and different types of enemies
art: some basic 'programmer art' for the levels and ship and enemies.

so now i've got to finish the AI, and test for level finishing, and add some bonuses (for the latin-inclined on these fora: boni

), and then clean it all up a little bit.

Looks cool. As for pacman AI, making a simple AI character that just goes towards the player can be cool enough.

Yea, but the problem is... collision response. I can't get it to "call a functio when two objects collide" if ya know what I mean...

yeah, that's a problem. Personally I'd keep a representation of the map and use my own tile-based collision detection thing.

I'm working on making a simple 'kiddy' game if you will. The objective of the game is to fly a crow through NewYork against the traffic in order to get back to you home =P I haven't been able to get that far with the project, as I'm fairly new to C++ and the Irrlicht engine. But I'm learning

Shadow_wolf, sounds cool and unique.

Can the crow be hit by cars?

Yupp, the crow can be hit by cars. One of the next things that I'll be adding is a particle system for when you get hit by a car/truck that it will send feathers flying in an explision style.
