 Get it at http://www.dphrygian.com/bin/CockpitCrash1984.zip. Windows only. Source code: http://www.dphrygian.com/bin/cc1984dist.zip (This version has the audio stripped out so you don't need FMOD.) Update: Now with power-ups and minibosses! Random whimsy: Decided I needed a name for these graphics. [22:08] David: textor [22:08] David: vext? [22:08] David: vextor? [22:08] Kyle: vextor [22:08] David: vextor it is Updated again: Strafing and minimap are in. Yet again!: Added retro sound goodness. |

Bump. This was by far the fastest I've ever made a game (six hours, maybe?).
Actually, I'll probably keep iterating on this, add some power-ups and different kinds of enemies and stuff.

Technically you finished before the competition even started!
In this timezone, anyway.

I like it!
Nice an simplistic. And interesting graphics!
I made it to wave 9 one time, in a crazy trigger-happy rage. Then I was destroyed.

Behold, the power of text.
I actually tried to make something almost exactly like this in high school, but didn't manage to get beyond getting the 3d engine to (mostly) work. Honestly I was probably only a few steps from a real game. It is interesting and educational to code your own 3D raster engine (meaning: no OpenGL OR Direct3D, just pixels), I remember I coded mine to actually move the world around the camera instead of the other way around.
I am a bit tired right now, so I won't go off and find a link right now, but I remember seeing a few demos that do the same thing here. Also, text mode Quake or whatever it's called.

You just made my day. Actually, rather the time traveling ancestor of the trixel. Just fixing a small logic error there. So, even more triumphantly, you are technically the first! |

Yeah, totally. That's something I've wanted to do for years now, but it's kind of an exercise without a purpose beyond itself, so I haven't made time for it yet. Maybe I'll find an excuse to do it for a future compo. Getting this "vextor" engine running was fairly trivial, because I already had a 3D math library, a text mode interface, and a Bresenham function for drawing nice lines. Doing proper triangle rasterization with texturing and whatnot would be a meatier challenge. |

Wow this is really cool.
The only thing I kind of missed was strafing. I couldn't really avoid the enemies this way.
