GroundUpEngine Development [7] - Part 2 (Engine)

[ccricers]

Good progress. Level editors are always tedious for me to make :D Maybe I'll combine my web knowledge and make a level editor that works on the web...

[hebronsawyers]

Thanks! I hate how hard Editors are to make but the result is great if you do it right, which I'm still working on lol :P

i like most of it except for a few things, the character slides too much. you need to like slow it donw a bit or something. abd the controls look kinda jumpy. other than that it's pretty good. better than what i have lol

[hebronsawyers]

aha well spotted! I agree the movement is pretty jerky, needs more work :D

[brockta7]

Hey this is Brockx7 on the Chaos Rift, awesome video man the engine looks sick!

What did you use to make this engine, C++ and OpenGL?

[hebronsawyers]

Cheers! Ya I'm using C++/OGL but also SFML for Windowing and Input :)

Great job man!! very awesome!

[Bearrick]

very nice work dude, looks like its coming along nicely.

[WSPSNIPER2]

great job on the engine, love the song when the engine starts. i love opengl but am going to stick with 2d for a while before the leap of faith into 3d ;)

[hebronsawyers]

Thanks! I think 2d games rock :)

[mrquazu]

Not much know how to programming and how games work and all but why does a collision box have to be a box? Can the collision be like a tight barrier around the object?

[hebronsawyers]

Yes you are correct in thinking this, but having a bounding box is easier to calculate, also it's easier on your CPU.

[superant10000]

With an animation for the gun, a boundary collision and maybe a different skybox, This would be so amazing haha :P

But even without it's still awesome. Nice skills man.

[hebronsawyers]

Thanks! I'll be sure to tighten up on these things next time :P

[vblazenka146]

Awesome work....Keep up.... :D

[Acefangamestudio]

nice! in game console? what are you using as your binding with open gl? bullets, collision detection. too cool. question how long did it take you understand opengl?

[hebronsawyers]

I use SFML a media library for Windowing, Input and use with OpenGL :)

[gtxx]

yeah lookin good!

[clsDevAaron]

5* for shooting tiny houses, and it looks pretty awesome, sir. Keep up the good work. :D
