tuo sei luigi da super mario bros

[Kelarre653]

Simply inspiring.

[FL1PP3RR]

Mr were is mario? :PP

[killyourlovedone]

This video has the best intro I have ever seen on a youtube video.

[BallsOnFire83]

@killyourlovedone i lold hard

[YTubeMoralAction]

1992 called. It wants its engine back.

[leonardoboselli]

Probably you wrote the wrong caller's name: The engine dates back to 1999, not 1992 ;-)

[Siryath]

@YTubeMoralAction Lol, this would have been something like crysis where it to be released in 1992.

[xalener]

@Siryath

Nah. This in 92 would be like Crysis in 99.

[FantasyJam]

I like that the engine uses CodeBlocks, few do.

[acerookie1]

what r the operating systems for this. can it run on windows 98?

[leonardoboselli]

Yes, it can run from Win98 up to Vista (and probably on Win7). It runs also in Linux using WINE.

[robloxiapuffin]

can it use LAN ?

[leonardoboselli]

The engine includes the luasocket library, but there is no example in the docs that shows how to use it.

[aspecmaps]

very nice engine.

[leonardoboselli]

Thank you!

[AnimeMaster9514]

can you make a game with this engine? like a game with a storyline..and such??

btw good job

[leonardoboselli]

It's possible, but I have no time now ;)

[AnimeMaster9514]

lol k thx, but i do xD

[ramdy1978]

how old are your PCs? :D

[leonardoboselli]

The Commodore 64 (not shown): 1983

The three PCs on the left: 1993,1996,2000

The PC on the right: 2004

The notebook: 2007

[eyhexs]

the engine looks nice, but the demos are painfully amateurish

[leonardoboselli]

> the engine looks nice, but the demos

> are painfully amateurish

Do you know any free engine that ships demos gracefully professional? ;)

[sourcerror]

If you consider, that these demos are made in 200-300 lines of code, it's quite impressive.

Good job Leonardo!

[leonardoboselli]

Thank you!

[zocy87]

Ciao Boseeeee! Come mai hai tolto la mitica foto sul tuo sito? By la peggio della sua 3H (istituto d'arte)

[leonardoboselli]

Come ben sai, è opportuno rinnovare la grafica ogni tanto e devo ammettere che il sito è molto migliorato dopo aver tolto la foto ;)

Ciao!

[zocy87]

eh si,io d grafica me ne intendo :P per quanto riguarda la foto era epocale probabilmente gira ancora da qualche parte all'istituto d'arte come la caricatura che ho fatto ^。^

[leonardoboselli]

Ho ancora la fotocopia della tua caricatura da qualche parte assieme a quelle fatte da Rossi ed altri. All'Arte ne avevo raccolte parecchie ;)

[zocy87]

Anche Rossi le ha fatto la caricatura???Graandee!Il bello di stare in una scuola d'arte è proprio il fatto che alunni e prof spesso si comportano allo stesso modo :)

[leonardoboselli]

In effetti, più che una caricatura era un ritratto: con poche linee è riuscito a creare una figura perfettamente riconoscibile. Una mano davvero efficace.

[edo93ilfenomeno]

bella prof...straordinario...sono emmolo della 2^b

[leonardoboselli]

Grazie.

Che nick modesto: edo il fenomeno! ;)

[edo93ilfenomeno]

lo avevo messo qualke anno fa e ora nn so come cambiarlo...mah...fa lo stesso...

[leonardoboselli]

Did you never program anything in Lua?

[tigerseyecreations]

You know what you need my freind don't you LAN/Network Play i've done that sort of thing before in 3 Scripting Language's C#, C++, j#.

[Leccio22]

ai, i'm an spagnol students and i uant to survied your programmation. Can you help me in the missions??

[BlaBlaBlaZ2]

does it require Open GL? please tell me that it doesn't..>:*

[leonardoboselli]

It is an OpenGL engine, of course. Don't you see how it looks nice :)

[Jaketheleopard]

For XNA Game Studios 1.0, what graphics creator should I use? I mean, what do I use to create everything? Also, maybe it's cause I'm on my friend's vista computer, but when I download the visual c# express sp1 (or whatever it's called, but I know sp1's at the end), I try to install it but it says it has an error and the update may not be for any existing software. I need it to install XNA so where do I get Visual C# Express Edition SP1? Is Sp1 only for xp? I know nothing on XNA! need basics!!

[leonardoboselli]

> For XNA Game Studios 1.0...

Why do you ask here? This movie shows an engine that is NOT based on XNA.

[vonbrune]

much better, ill look into it...

[vonbrune]

:) Im sorry let me refrase myself - is learning the language easy and using to develop multi media and games, say compared to pure direct x. I want a rate plz!

[leonardoboselli]

If you already know a programming language, to learn Lua is very easy. To program a game, as already said above, is very difficult istead. APOCALYX provides several high level functions, so you can avoid OpenGL or DirectX low level calls, but even to program the simple demos that you have seen in the movie takes considerable time and efforts. Sorry!

A rate of simplicity: from 1 to 5 (5 higer), let's say 2.5 :)

[vonbrune]

is programing easy?

[vladthedestroyer]

you're so naive to ask something like this. It's hard work, many times you have to try a couple of times to get things going and it's a long road to make 3d games. It may take you a couple of months just to learn basic stuff but if you have motivation it will pay off.

[bombboy125]

i like making stuff so i tried 3d animation and it was one of the hardest things i ever tried I STILL CANT FIGURE IT OUT

[katnician333]

Excellent stuff!

[leonardoboselli]

Only the "ShadingLanguage.lua" demo uses the Shaders. It's enough to understand how they works in Apocalyx, but more demos would be very useful.

[GegoXaren]

does the engien suport self shadowing and swlf reflections?

[leonardoboselli]

No, sorry.

[nlavagna]

Wow! You need urgently a toupe! Just kidding :P

Good work, but don't show yourself so easily.. it keeps the mistery of the man behind the work..

[leonardoboselli]

The next time I'll write a 3D engine, I'll follow your suggestion :)

[Jagguar20]

mario!

[jarreserodriguez]

waow nice job!

[leonardoboselli]

Thank you very much!

[GhostFire218]

Non e che mi puoi aiutare?volevo costruire un motore grafico bello potente ... :D

[leonardoboselli]

Contattami per email all'indirizzo che trovi sul sito dell'engine 3D APOCALYX

[zzzCoccobellozzz]

Sei un grande...Con halflife2 hai mai lavorato??Potresti fare miracoli!!

[leonardoboselli]

Ti ringrazio per i complimenti. Non ho mai lavorato con HL2... e poi perché farlo? Ho già Apocalyx! ;-)

A parte gli scherzi, anche se non posso competere con un team di decine di programmatori (ovviamente!), mi diverto di piu' a potenziare l'engine che a costruire giochi veri e propri: scrivere una demo di tanto in tanto e' molto meno noioso e impegnativo :)

[curlybrownlocks]

nice looking engine will this be available with english menu and documentation if not you guys will miss the boat stick a gui on it and i'm interested i am already going to APOCALYX 3D Engine website now but please guys do an english version couldn't understand a word but i got the drift translation "very cool xna engine" good work and a pat on the back.

[GMPB]

Aha... and where is Mario???
