Why call it Robot Arena in the first place?

Sage · « **Reply #141 on:** July 31, 2011, 11:22:14 AM »

All we need is thing to bot be able to go through eachother besides the chassis, but also the ability to make our own components in-game.

Can we even call it Robot Arena? I'm pretty sure the names TM'd

Zog · « **Reply #143 on:** July 31, 2011, 12:28:31 PM »

Yeah but no-one really has heard of it except for everyone in GTM.

For fuck's sake. Each time there is a talk about some possible work going on, it ALWAYS, ALWAYS ends up on a discussion about naming.

The name doesn't matter for now! Jeebus almighty! The next person to talk about naming will receive a stab in the face over the internet. Don't worry, I'll find a way to do it.

@nightcracker
ad 1. Bullet looks really promising.
ad 2. I have been working on anOpenGL engine, it doesn't do much, but it's enough abstraction to get started quickly. I've looked into Irrlicht before, I'll take a look at it again.
ad 3. I was thinking about Lua (Garry's Mod Lua implementation is kickass). Possibly Python. But it doesn't really matter right now. As for the GUI toolkit, it doesn't matter either, basic widgets are very easy to implement (I have some code with that floating about somewhere in my github, too).

@zog and @nightcracker:
What experience do you guys have? Programming? If so, what languages / platforms / frameworks? Design? If so, what kind, what tools? Do you have any projects to show, some sort of portfolio, code (finished or not), anything? Do you work in the industry?

I have intermediate experience using BSP map/level editors, and a fairly basic knowledge of triggers with I/O connections. Part of my work is showcased at www.moddb.com/mods/awakelostfaith/. I work amongst the modding community.

Hm, I think I might have seen that on Facepunch... Did anyone from your team post it there?

Zog · « **Reply #147 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:02:25 PM »

Well I definitely haven't, and my other team member isn't even aware that facepunch exists...

I have experience with Lua (http://tukui.org/), Python, C & C++ (just my own little stuff). Windows and Linux platforms, WoW API Framework (if you can call it that). I have no real portfolio yet, finished projects include TukUI (coauthor/founder, inactive now): https://github.com/tukz/Tukui, and a shameless Tetris clone (SDL messing around with C++): exe/src.

Other than that, check out my site: http://nclabs.org/.

I currently have a little job (I'm 16) coding the site and backoffice for a photo store.

Hey, things are starting to come into place.

nightcracker · « **Reply #150 on:** July 31, 2011, 04:27:35 PM »

I don't want to disappoint you, but not really. Not one line of code has been written yet.

That's astonishingly impressive. We can try to think of something once I finish some paid work :).

I can make the music.

Thyrus · « **Reply #153 on:** July 31, 2011, 05:45:57 PM »

and I can play it when it`s done.

Zog · « **Reply #154 on:** July 31, 2011, 05:55:44 PM »

Thyrus that's the best contribution ever.

Thyrus · « **Reply #155 on:** July 31, 2011, 05:56:44 PM »

I know. It`s all about teamwork
