Hey guys! I don't actually need help for once, I was just wondering what everybody's doing, if anything. Does anybody have any cool projects that they're working on right now? I'm still working on my first game engine, and it's going pretty well.

I'm working on a Minesweeper kind of game, but development has been delayed due to school ._.
(Which also implies that I have no working example/screenshot yet)

I'm doing the Duke Nukem Forever version of a racing game, and all these GUI threads have gotten me to redo the GUI to the stuff I'm using now. Here's a textbox test from a few minutes ago. (yes it looks like 1980's I know)

<gripe> I can't get the Attach files thing to give me the link</gripe>

Seems I need to give it less margin on the right side.

[EDIT]

Stupid disk crash on Mar 21 means I get to redo a months worth of coding all over again >:(

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

Apart from rebuilding a house and updates for apps, my main squeeze project is music composition software.

latest WIP looks like this:

Still working on this. Spent the last couple of months completely reworking the world/genre it is set in, and changing it from the previous single-unit/character orientated game, to a squad-(<20 units) based game, and making it more survival based.

Wow. I knew there had to be more going on arond here than I thought. Lots of nice stuff! Here's a screenshot of my current project:

{"name":"603674","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/0\/10320d850738321fcfe1a7f4c0716fd6.png","w":646,"h":508,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/0\/10320d850738321fcfe1a7f4c0716fd6"}603674

The player sprite isn't mine, but everything else is. The trees are a slightly modified version from an old version of the project; I'm going to be tossing them when I'm ready to do more artwork. I'm still testing(and writing) the major systems of my game right now, so art is irrelevant.

>edit<
Got layered drawing working. I had the framework to do so, I just hadn't implemented it yet. I know it's a simple thing, but it makes me happy ;D

I'm working on my GUI API, which I will use in many of my games, and will probably make it Open Sourced.

(Yes, the artifacts are intentional. I'm still working on making them look better.)

I'm working on Panel Panic again after a little break to work on my tactics game, mostly to get used to Allegro 5. I ported PP to A5 and somehow lost that work, and then I apparently got some sort of stomach flu this week, which has been a bit distracting. If I can get it compiling soon (and I should), maybe I'll post a current screenshot. :P This is basically my "polish" milestone, so I'm going to keep working on it until it's done.

Wow, some nice stuff going on here. X-G, I like the look of your game, very retro, very nice looking!

Todd Cope - is that multiplayer side scroller? Looks kewl.

Kronk - you have really improved on your background art, even though you said it's not the final artwork, looks great compared to what you started with.

I'm doing a little of everything. not 100% sure what I want to to do be honest. Experimenting with isometric graphics and level editor, pixel drawing functions for A5 and other experiments. I want to start a new game, but unsure what...

You should do... a... RPG! No just kidding, you should... see how fast you can throw together pong. See if you can do it from scratch (no allegro templates) in under 30 minutes. ;)

I've been working on a GUI (yeah, I'm working on a GUI, too) that, hopefully, I will use on a level and sprite editor for a really old project. I started this project on Allegro 4 and I'm porting it to Allegro 5. It's moving slowly but it's not abandoned yet.

I may just do that Mark... I have actually never done a pong before... hmmm.. Deluxe Pong with guns, explosives etc... ;D heheheh....

Edit: I started making a pong style game just for fun using Allegro 5 and C++ (give me practise coding C++ classes)... after a couple hours puttering around I have decided to move back to Allegro 4.4. Allegro 5 is far too frustrating.

Several, actually.

  • lycounterpoint, a command line utility that reads a lilypond fragment and calculates a counterpoint, also in lilypond syntax; ideally, this would enable me to highlight a melody fragment in vim, then go %!lycounterpoint, and it would replace the melody with a suitable counterpoint. I'm still experimenting with various algorithms, and the results are far from correct, but it's an interesting project.


  • lyindent, also a command line utility; re-indents lilypond source files. This one already works well plugged into vim, replacing the built-in formatter for lilypond.


  • A super-lightweight HTML template library for Python (well, technically not templates but functions, but you can write functions that look a lot like the HTML they output); the idea is stolen from a Lisp library a colleague showed me, and it works exceptionally well with a functional programming style. For anyone interested: https://bitbucket.org/tdammers/pfft

Whee! How are you going to solve the exploding horses problem?

Apart from rebuilding a house and updates for apps, my main squeeze project is music composition software.

If anything, it definitely looks pretty.

I'm still working on my Android platformer game. Here's a recent development screenshot of the third boss monster (taking screenshots of the emulator is a PITA). It's basically a disc-throwing body builder. ;D It looks way better animated, though.

{"name":"603699","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/8\/f\/8ff56ee27058ddc1f681b64dcebc30b6.png","w":1280,"h":800,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/8\/f\/8ff56ee27058ddc1f681b64dcebc30b6"}603699

I'm basically following the "update often" rule, getting an update out each week with new levels and enemies.

It doesn't get much attention in the market (yet). Maybe I should start marketing instead... :-/

Thanks Neil! I like my current approach a lot better.

I really like that art style. X-G's art is pretty sick too. I've pretty much decided that my next project is going to be a platformer 8-)

learning!

Fellow noob! ;D

Why isn't any of this on IotD ???
