What gives you—or anyone for that matter—the impression that the OP is prepared to advance into graphical programming? Have you considered the OP's previous posts to ensure that the OP is not lacking in any fundamental areas? It seems empirical that the OP selects something that would increase ...

What is AppleScript exactly? I've seen it, but have no idea what it is/does. From what I've heard/seen, it's a high level scripting language designed to automate common operations on the Mac OS, like renaming folders, emptying the trash and executing other applicaions. A friend showed it to me once...

If you really don't want to go graphical using SDL or something similar (which I would recommend at this point), and you're bored of making text adventures, why don't you try something in between? Maybe code a game which is in a console window, where the player is physically denoted with an asterisk...

Make an ASCII cartoon, because they're always fun.

Or, better still, make some software to convert a regular .avi video into an ASCII cartoon...

Noooooo! Don't use Camstudio, it's impossible to capture anything that actually moves!

Anyway, I look forward to seeing your game.

Obviously there are no OS->LaunchBSOD() calls in Minecraft's code. That's a function I wish was included in the Win32 API! :lol: I'm sure there's something with a similar function xD The irritating thing is that there actually isn't! The only way you can really launch BSOD in C++ (I've found) is to...

Hmmm... When you consider the complex physics and gameplay mechanics already involved in sonic, the loop system starts to seem relatively simple

Definitely.
But it's free, so I use it

Looks amazing (I have no idea how I've been missing this thread) I really look forward to seeing progress on this :D Wow, this is why I love the Chaos Rift. The motivation I gained from that comment just translated into an 86 line C++ coding streak in about 10 minutes :) Thank you so much, eatcomic...

OK, I haven't yet posted an update for this project, so here goes: Alpha 0.2 of the Engine/Client has been completed. New features include a Playscript-style Scripting System, Scriptable NPC AI, Conversations System and Scriptable Conversations. Although I'd implemented an XML scripting system for t...

Nice screens ;) In which way are you using XML as a scripting language? Hey! Well, I'll be posting some actual in-game examples of this once I've finished working on it, but I thought XML would be an easy way to script in behaviours to NPCs, Monsters, Items etc. Here's an idea of the kind of thing ...

I was wondering why I saw that awkwardly familiar panda3d demo scene. Haha, yep our current main artist (Tun) is only really working on character concepts and 2D sketches right now, so I'm stuck with rubbish Panda3D demo graphics and random models I grab off the web for now :(. Considering I'm only...

Thanks guys, I didn't expect to get so many responses! :oops: Looks pretty cool! This is one of the few projects that I see people talking about that I actually feel like there is a good future towards. Seems like a cool idea! Thank you, that means a lot! There's not much to show yet, although we ha...

So, I've been working on a 3D game engine in C++ (OpenGL, with Panda3D for high end stuff) for a few days now, and I thought I would show off my progress. My development team and I have always dreamt of developing an MMO game, and we recently came up with the name of Azareal Online. We don't want to...

Ismetteren worded it better than I did: listen to him instead!
