2D Platformer - SDL/C++

Post by lalacomun »

Well, this is the current game im working on, its a 2d platformer made using C++, SDL and all its lib's such as SDL_gfx, SDL_mixer etc...

I started working on it a few weeks ago, and as you may have noticed the sprites/tiles, look like S*%/% since im not a pixel artist. :lol:

Here, some images:

Looks great man! Only suggestion I have is.. have you ever looked at Visual Studio Express Edition?

I used Code::Blocks for a few years, and it's a great IDE, but VS is light years ahead and a much better tool (once you make past the setup hump of getting something to compile).

It's looking awesome man. Maybe you could find some free tilesheets online to use as placeholder graphics though (maybe one of these? http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com ... -mslug.php)

The bullets made me think of metal slug. It might just be a waste of time but I always think it's more fun to look at nice graphics

Looks awesome, dude. One of my first games (NULL), just used untextured graphics and colored rectangles, because I couldn't draw for shit. :mrgreen:

Seconded. Your current IDE of choice is quite substandard. ;)

Well, just installed Visual Studio 2010 express, now im linking SDL to it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: and, actually the NULL game inspired me to start this project, i first saw it on "Elysian shadows team previous proyects" but im pissed i never saw a gameplay of it :|

Well, i think the original but still crapy art is part of the game, i think that with other games art it wouldn't be the same thing, i dunno its just a feeling i have :)

This has to be the first post in history that has no questions between "install Visual Studio" and "I just installed Visual Studio and linked to SDL".
