I got bored so I made a platformer

[dormantlemon 219]

Technically this goes here.

The title says it all. I got bored so I wrote a 2.5D platformer in OpenGL. All i can say right now is LOLPLACEHOLDERS.

Currently:

Builds the world from a .txt file

Full .obj model support for all world objects.

Bounding box collisions + player control

*relatively* accurate gravity and friction models

Missing (with intentions to finish):

Texture support

Basic enemies & AI

DAT HUD

So how long until it looks like Crysis?

So how long until it looks like Crysis?

As long as it takes for me to write an engine that uses defered rendering..

I'd play it.

I might as well keep this updated.

It looks a lot cleaner now. Both onscreen and the code itself.

Changelog (v1.1 + 1.2):

-Updated player (is still borked) and collectible models. [1.2]

-Finished collectible animation (has constant linear bobbing and rotation) [1.2]

-Rewrote gravity and friction. Is much more efficient [1.1]

-Optimised collision checking (only does 0.45x as many checks as before)

-Redesigned level data format; own LLD style format [1.2]

-Added in static environment props definable in-level, constructed purely from coordinates and file location. [1.2]

-Touched up the menu: play and exit now actually work. Level select and options currently disbaled [1.1]

-Improved a few sprites (still placeholders mostly) [1.1]

Incomplete:

Half written 3d keyframe animation code. Not Implemented. [1.2+]

seems solid, I'd give it a whirl.

Doesn't seem that hard ;D. Now you need to make a 2d sourcemap. I'd donate $10 bucks to the first person who makes a sidescrolling source based map.

i'd play it. it probably wouldn't work tho, would need some crazy mods

How much longer until you put hats into the game for purchase?

[cookie eater 965]

Its looking sexier and sexier as you code.

build 024 - February 7th

Changelog:

-Full alpha channel support on textures that include them.

-Fixed up PNG image support

-Fixed collisions (mostly)

-Wrote an animation system. Support for following texture animation types: scrolling, bounce, loop(multiple frames per texture) and texture swapping. No skeletal stuff yet

-Wrote a simple pause menu. Does nothing but literally pause and unpause the game (for now).

To do:

-Finish highscores
