It's not that complicated of a game, but the idea is to show how easy it is to make 3D games with Irrlicht in C++.

I look forward to trying it out! I'll keep you posted when I do.

Cheers!

My goal is that any game I create be available for download for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
Stay tuned.

Buddboy, you can exclusively use OpenGL in Windows which makes the DirectX SDK unnecessary ( I think ) . Otherwise, you have to have the SDK to do builds. Irrlicht engine allows you to use either one.

CPUFreak, I am going to try to install linux tonight and maybe have a build of the game ready in the next few days. I don't know how much work, yet, is needed to get things running. Irrlicht & Audiere libraries are both supposed to be easily cross-compatible but sometimes there are hoops you have to jump through to get things to compile.

Lol, I remember a tutorial that showed how you could load up a BSP level and then tell the camera to have collision detection with the level in like 6-8 lines of code.

Good work.

I downloaded the OpenGL version and I get an access violation when I try and fire the gun. I was able to run around and dodge ninjas though -- looks good!

HanClinto, the access violation problem with the gun sound should be fixed. I wasn't checking if there was a problem loading the gun sound. I still don't know why it was unable to load the sound file. I'm using the Audiere sound library, that's why there is the audiere.dll file.

I also posted vcredist_x86.exe which is probably necessary to run the game if you don't already have Visual C++ Express 2005 installed. If that doesn't work, you may have to use Microsoft Update to update your IE and Microsoft Installer first. This should fix the "Application not configured" error. If it doesn't, let me know.

while(true)
{
// update (logic)
// render
}

then just check if the ESCAPE key was pressed and then break...

while(true)
{
if(GetKey(ESCAPE))
break;

// update (logic)
// render
}

I haven't really looked into Irrlicht recently so I don't know how to exactly do so... but if that'd work the you only need an extra 2 lines.

If you already know all this stuff, then please don't ask the questions, and I won't have to waste my time answering you.

Respectfully,

Also, thanks for everyone trying the game out and helping me work out the bugs. I'll post the source tonight.

Yay, it worked! Great job figuring out the access violation -- good job!

I tested it without sound, so I don't know how it does with sound.

Very nice! It was pretty slow, so I tried it with the -nosnow option, but it still chugged some. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the number of bots on screen -- it seemed to be more general than that. I would guess it was around 10-15 FPS.

Athlon 1800+
512 RAM
Windows XP (freshly reinstalled a couple of weeks ago, so not bogged down by spyware -- yet)
GeForce 2 MMX (which may be my problem, as it's a card that's a good 4 or 5 years old).

This is a pretty good card though, and can run intensive games like Jedi Knight: Outcast and Serious Sam pretty handily -- I'm not sure why it would chug so hard with this game.

Optimization aside, it looks really good! I'm impressed you were able to write this in so few lines of code -- I'm really looking forward to your presentation on this at the CGDC. Great work!

I was able to get up to wave 5 or so before I got bored and decided to write this post.

In Christ,
clint
