That, sir, was pure genius.

Sorry, didn't see your other posts :/

Yes

I must say that you have done a well job in perfecting it and it could be used for basic FPS games if it was open source.

I'm planning to release it for anyone to use after I make at least one game with it.

I wish you the best of luck with this engine.

Thanks, and best of luck with your engine! It's amazing how much power it has, something the quality of the unreal engine 1.0, maybe even 2.0, in a browser... My enigne can't even to some of the things doom's engine could do.

In addition to my last post, will this be used for any type of multiplayer in the near future?

Hopefully. My goal is to make a 3D FPS death match style game eventually.

Yep. But I would rather make something all on my own that I can claim as mine instead of something completely amazing using someone else's engine.

Nothing seems to have caught fire yet, I think we're good for now.

True Love.

Me and a friend have been making a side scrolling platformer for a while now, but we haven't added much in a while. After a period of rapid development, our ideas have just run out.
You play a generic astronaught as he traverses first a robotic city, then a dark cave on a rocky planet, and finally grassland on earth. The levels are always a fixed width and height, and are generated randomly. You play for 4 levels in one zone, then the setting changes. You pick up jewels that can be spent on opening locked boxes you find throught the game.
So far the game includes:
1 and a half finished zones
13 different enemies
10 different useable weapons
15 items to pick up

The games controls are the arrow keys to move, Z to jump, X to fire weapon / throw object, and C to open lockbox or pickup object.
You can see everything so far here.

The game is intended to be quite hard, by the way.

We need 2 more enemies for the cave zone, and the earth zone hasn't got anything in it yet. What should we add?

Where in the .as have you put it? Before the class [blah] { ?

Up until that point I was certain deposit meant something else...

I completely rescripted the Render class, so it should be a higher quality with higher speed.

We need to know:
- What FPS do you get (first number)
- How much memory is being used (second number)
- Would you mind playing at that speed?
- What bugs do you notice
- Basic specs of your pc
I am aware that you can see through walls if you are close enough, that will be fixed when I do proper collisions.

Here's a 3D earth I found by Andre Michelle: http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/180709/6 3439_planet.php
And here's the .fla that has a movie clip you can use. Although I used AS2 to get it, it's easy enough to translate to AS3

When I finish this RPG, I want to include microtransactions to buy "diamonds", which will be tradable for the in-game currency. That way, you are not restricted content if you don't pay, it just makes the game a bit easier if you don't want to make the money yourself.

The audio credits say "same as last time". If you look at his first version, it has the correct credits.

Thanks!

Wait, your BA is displayed somewhere?

For a platformer, there is a distinct lack of platforms.

We need more GTA style engines! Keep working on yours!

Fuck, I just had a new idea on how to render walls from top down. But I really should finish the first person one... Maybe I'll just see how fast my idea runs.

By "doesn't work", do you mean the movie won't work because this code stops it or the code I supplied doesn't work? The code worked when I tested it.

var url:String = this._url;
url = url.substring( 11, 21 );
if( url != "newgrounds" ){
	// Do something
}

Should work. Just put it at the top of your code on the first frame. Make it do something like show a graphic saying "This has been ripped from newgrounds.com" etc.

I've stopped developing the top down one since yours seems much more capable, and there's no point in attempting anything similar. I've been focussing on first person, and have most things working albeit slowly.
And sorry, forgot my specs:
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX
CPU: Intel Core2 Quad (2.4GHZ)
RAM: 3GB or something along those lines

My FPS would be from around 50 - 75, MB would peak at 64.
Very, very good work!

Add a 3D genre for games!

So my shit can go somewhere when it's done

Stupidly I admitted to my ICT teacher that I knew how to code in flash, so he directed anyone with any question at all to do with flash to me.
The most common question was "How do you make games?", which would always be answered by something along the lines of "It takes months to learn, I can't tell you everything in half an hour". There was never any specific questions, like about using loops or arays. It was always just "How do you make games?", or a question about animation which I have no knowledge about.

I have $0.79 eCPM, but I expect this to die down as the game gets older.

Nevermind, found it.

Is there a function in AS3 which will return the ascii code of a character you input? Like:

trace( stringToAscii( "A" )); // Returns 65

Thanks for any help.

Fixed the problem with some ceilings I had before, and added sprites. I think that's everything to do with rendering done, except some optimisation.

I'm developing an RPG at the moment, and adding micropayments with MochiCoins (?) seems like a good idea. But would it be better if you bought more of the game's currency, instead of something you would only get by paying? Would people mind if you had to get something by paying?

Yeah I've only used basic movement for now, later when I've made an entity class I'll attach the camera to one that will be the player, and have proper collisions with it.

Thanks :D
If you mean the problem with the ceiling, I've just noticed that to. I'll try and fix it. The engine hasn't been optimised much yet, so I should be able to speed it up.
