Primitive Pong
Author
Well, I finished it! My first Irrlicht and my first C++ game ever, so go easy on me ;).
Player 1's controles are A Z
Player 2's Controles are K M

Nice one. Have you done the background flame yourself? It looks beautiful but my eyes hurt after a while.

A) The background is a 3D Particle System
B) I tried making the sprite by using transparent png, but the engien doesn't support it. Then I tried using code to make the sprite transparent, but it messed up the particle system.

I just gave a quick look and noticed a few things:
1) There doesn't seem to be any boundaries for the paddles (they can go right off of the screen!)
2) The collision detection is a bit off, it seem to detect collisions with the backs of the paddles instead of the fronts, causing a couple of confusing deaths
3) You might want to think about letting the paddles move smoothly instead of making them move in discrete intervals
4) I don't know anything about Irrlicht, but I'd be very surprised if it didn't offer a way add transparancy to the ball and paddles without affecting the particles
Otherwise, good job. Just keep at it. [wink]

That much is obvious; I believe he was asking if you wrote the code for it yourself.

Basicly, with irrlicht you creat an emitter, you tell it what sprite you want it to emmit, you change all these color properties, angles, and position. Sorry for not being specific the first time.
I am working on V2, which I will try to make smoother movements. And I have already added better colision detection. I'm hoping to add AI so you don't NEED a 2nd player. Then maby make V3 with online play.
