Elysian Shadows

Oh men, I looked in QT website and all those screenshots look cool, also I know that Elysian Shadows Level Editor are created with QT, I might learn QT, but one question: I already learning SDL, Lua and plan OpenGL, it is not too much ?

One more thing: cause I will create it in SDL I think it would be nice to use some old school game sounds like sounds RPG games used 15 years ago, can I download all this assets for free somewhere?
For audio I will use SDL_mixer

Thanks guys, your Idea is awesome :D I will use SDL, maybe later I can make it even cooler and add graphics, I think I will create several SDL_Surface pointers ro represent text.. I can't wait to get my hands dirty :D Along side i will learn Lua and implement it in engine, but one thing I need first...

Thanks for this Idea. I thought same way.

Well for RPG type game, scripting would be needed, with Lua implemented game code would be cleaned...
SO thanks, I think I will start designing it after I will finish SDL Pong clone.

One more little question, as I first try to create it, I think it will use text commands and of course for storing them i will use char* or std::string... What you think of each of these and what you are recommending? I am familiar with both ways.

1. I completely agree with you that it will be boost in my programming career and experience EVEN it is just console game but it could have all game specific things like game loop and etc. 2. What do you mean by C++ wrapper for Lua. It id\s some sort of library for easier use and implement scripting...

When I can add some simple colors or graphics in console... Maybe windows.h can handle that?

Ahh sorry, I didn't realise you wanted to make a console window, text based game through choice! - I thought you were dismayed at how to start a bigger game project. My point still stands about dull coding though - maybe it's worth considering using SDL, just to give bitmap fonts and some colour to...

But I don;t need collision detection, tilesheets or level editor now - it is text- based game in console, not 2D graphical RPG Yeah I don't think the others read your first post correctly. I honestly think you should just give it a go and see what comes of it. Thanks, but really the thing what is b...

But you don't get it, it is not my first project in C++, I already have done bunch of SDL applications, SDL Tic Tac Toe, Console fighting game, console Tic Tac Toe, and I already are comfortable with Collision Detection, Timing and other things in SDL and in many topics in C++ such as classes, polym...

So I can do this in future, and what about scripting? where to start?

Hi I'm new to this forums, I'm here because I watched all Adventures in game development series and I'm glad what there are people like Falco out there... Best wishes to you guys.. Ans sorry If I write something stupid. Sorry about spelling in topic title... Although I have programmed for SDL over m...
