Nostalgia, a first try [source available, see post 5 below]

[robertgarand]

Hi to all Irrlichtians,

I finally decided that this first essay was OK to release.
You can have it here:
http://game3d.easycdholder.com/index.html

It is call Nostalgia, from the old time games with 16 colors and only bips...
I have ideas for other game, so I decided that enough was done on this one, and honestly, the code is so ugly needs reingineering... I won't release it, but if anyone wants a part or have question, I'll give all that is needed.

I want to thank all of you who helped me learn to use irrlicht, and have a better hand on c++. Without you, i could never have it done.

Comments are very welcome,

Best regards,
Robert

black on (darkish) green can be a little tricky to read

um, what do you mean my "essay"?
when I saw that word, I thought "oh great, he's given us something to read" (hint: sarcasm)

but it looks like you actually provided packages of the (playable) *game*

maybe you meant "version" or "demo" instead of "essay"?

but its quite a cool little game though, fairly unique.
great stuff so far!

the black on (not so) dark green is fine for me, probably something to do with different monitors and the like... crank up ya brightness/contrast fmx!

Anyway, pretty nice little game there, seems to work well and has some nice effects!

Hi testers

I'm glad you haven't found any big bug or bad aspects.

Thanks for taking the time to try it and give me feed back.
It may not be obvious, but this game made me mastered many techics in 3d game, now I'll move on with something more elaborate.

I do need to work on graphic esthetic, take more time to play with it.
If someone have a suggestion on where to start, tutorial, technic or flags and effects I shoud have used, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Regards,
Robert

This looks pretty cool, is it open source?

Hi all Irrlichtians,

Since it is a small game and I had so much help here, I decided to make the source available even if it is ugly. It's my first big program, I know most mistakes I made, but I don't have time to rewrite it.

It have many reusable code and working examples of: bullet trajectory framerate independant, ground movement follower, homemade collision detection, menus, load/save settings in xml, change terrain between level, pause game function, animated objects, joint movements, etc.

You can download it here:

Tanks again to community,

I think by 'essay' he mean 'essai' in French which is 'try' in English.
