Progress

Paul Mueller — Sun, 19 Apr 2015 10:22:50 -0000

Its really slow. I have little spare time and coding the 3D-Renderer consumes a lot of time. To have something to show, the next step will be to code a 'walktrough' for the first level.

In the first stage, there'll be 'built in' geometry, which uses textures with fixed names, thus allowing to have different texturing for different levels. I work on simple textfiles holding the descripitons for the different levels. I add docs as soon as it is clear how this is solves best.

The editor is also another piece of code I work on.

Stay tuned!

Another start

After a few years I decided to drop the approach of 'Real-3D' and to return to a mode with animated steps from tile to tile. In the end it's a 2D-Maze-Game displayed with a simple 3D-View, rendered with OpenGL.

I'm working parallel on the game core as well on the 3D-Rendering engine. This makes the progress a little bit slow, but should result in code which is much easier to maintain then the old approach. It allows to test the game code in '2D-Mode' and then to attach the 3D-Presentation as needed.

The old code will be replaced by a complete rewrite, using the SDLGL-Library (which is based on SDL).

For a new start

As a first step, the Viewer/Editor will be rewritten from scratch, using the most actual version of the SDLGL-Library. It is planned, that it will support scripts from EOB1 and EOB2 as well as both types of "MONSTER"-structs. About the 'Event-Trigger'-Flags i'm not shure yet.
I'm developing this parallel with my other projects like FSC, so development will be slow, but steady. One project will benefit from another by using the SDLGL-Library and the script language written for JAD.

SDLGL has moved

Paul Mueller — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 13:13:07 -0000

The SDLGL-Part of the code has moved to it's own project 'sdlgl' on SF net. I'm don't plan to work furher on this porject. My main project is 'Free Space Colonization', a Turn based 4X-Strategy game.

SDLGL - Code for ISO map grid input

Here is the map-grid code extended for sensing of mouse input. Lacks of support for the adjacent tiles. This will be added in another package.

SDLGL - Code for map grid input

Paul Mueller — Sun, 08 Aug 2004 11:41:23 -0000

The new example is source code and display for handling key and mouse input for a 2D-map grid.
It is designed in a way that it can be used for nearyl any kind of 2D-map

SDLGL -Turn based example

Paul Mueller — Fri, 30 Jul 2004 06:24:33 -0000

The new example shows how turn based input can be achieved using the SDLGL - Game loop. Additional anymation can easy be implemented.

First of SDLGL-Examples

Paul Mueller — Sun, 25 Jul 2004 15:52:57 -0000

I added one of a few planned examples how to use the SDLGL-Functions.

Change to base on EOB INF-Files

Paul Mueller — Sat, 17 Jul 2004 17:23:50 -0000

I switched back to use the original EOB-MAZ format instead of the own created "JMZ". Thus, I can use the original levels as a game base.

SDLGL - 3D Part

Paul Mueller — Wed, 24 Mar 2004 15:26:56 -0000

The work for the 3D-Part is going well. Next plan is to have a hard coded example maze level and all the code to display it in a 3D-Window. Follow ups will be new screenshots and some bases to display 'decorations' and 'items'. If all is going well, I'll have an editor for items and item-types soon.
