Tank Wars 3D Demo - Very early stage

wolfman8k · 2000-10-19T07:40:19

Here''s a cool game I''m working on: http://www.geocities.com/wolfman7k/tankwars3d.zip (~100k) It''s sorta action strategy. Basicly you gotta defend you flag while trying to steal your opponents. Right now you can only drive around and build. But I''m working on missles now. Please download(it''s really small), and tell me what you think and also the framerate you got. Thanks, wolfman8k

About the game being dark: This is because I plan to have the explosions give out light, and the tanks have headlights. I might make an option for day/night, but then only in night you''ll get the pretty lighting effects that I plan to have.

It was too hard to tell my framerate when it was unlocked. All I know is I pressed the right button and my tank was on the other side of the screen instantly. (I love you Geforce2)

It's cool now. I added real volumetric fog, and am working on rain and lighting effects. I can't update now, cus I'm at school. It's my first "real" project, but I've done a lot of Qbasic games when I was little, and a few Dos games with allegro. I have to really clean the code up though, it's full of constants that I have to replace with variables so the user can change them through the options. One question - Is it ok to ask the user the resolution/color-depth in a window box, before the game loads, or do I have to do it ingame? I've only seen two games that pops up a message box requesting the resolution(Rollcage I & II).

Don't forget to visit the webpage(under heavy construction):
