Game Development / Re: Pseudocode discussion...

Wait....So what you are all saying that there's no other source code or phisics engine, that at least mimics RA2?
Damn...Well might as well ask atari if  they won't sell and start some sort of donation...Methinks that enough cash will convince atari to sell the rights to the engine.....(Kinda kidding myself here)

But that still seems a bit imposible, I know it would have to be something that runs on older machines as well, but aren't there any physics engines that enable dents and stuff like that? I mean come on Worms 4 has destructible terrain and that's 3D :|   
Or is it more complex than that.

Also about the mesh idea.
That would be painstaking to write, the code i mean.
But still if there are no other options?
It's kinda time for a new robot destruction game, and i don't mean arcade fighting.....

Game Development / Ideas for new Robot Combat Game

« on: February 09, 2009, 07:30:22 AM »

Well.....I don't know I usualy just use the ranged stuff and things like that on bots that I build ...Let's say just for looks.....I mean I built a Jumping bot once..but it turned our to be usless in combat.....The pistons can't be sincronised  and i just ended up tipping over on the side.
Well that aside It would be nice to use the weapons from custom components, but not the high powered ones...like the cannon,crossbow,and such.Maybe make them to do normal damage, i mean the one from like...dunno darkpack....
Also it would be nice to atach more stuff.I had this idea to make a scorpion bot once...but i can't stack too many burst motors on it.
Ohh by the way, i have as a custom weapon the micro flame thrower, and I understand it can't be used in onlines....well that is preety close combat if u ask me.Also for a realistic look it could drain the air tanks fast so you can't use it the whole match.
So what I am saying is that it would be nice to have some custom parts in online games.And dunno make some sort of separation at the parts when you build your bot like: These are for your game only, and these can be used online.
Well dunno it's just an idea.
