Wingman formation AI is done, at the cost of very much pain and wasted time yesterday. Today, in order: damage to friendly planes, cloud damage, alien behaviour, front end, large enemy stuff, interface tweaks, some optimization, general graphics and sound, rockets and missiles, more behaviour.

Well, I'm calling it a day, see the first post. I've ended up with a techdemo rather than a finished game. Pyglet is supposed to be multiplatform, so if anyone is interested in compiling it for mac or linux, let me know. |

I tried it under Ubuntu 8.10 / Wine, and it works Perfectly ! Not to mention your game is purely awesome ! The visuals are perfect, very subtle and yet really compeling.  |

Can't start the game because:
MSVCR71.dll could not be extracted!

Wine told me that as well, but I tried again and again and, suddently, it started.

The game looks great, but I find the controls too hard, or maybe I need practice, I don't know.

The executable was giving me that error too, but ran with no problems, so I was hoping it wasn't a big deal. After a bit of research on the internet, it looks like this may be from a bug in pyinstaller. Apparently it's fixed in the current code for pyinstaller, but I would need to compile the code myself  . I have changed the upload in the first post to include a copy of MSVCR71.dll in the game directory; hopefully this will run. Thanks very much for the kind words on the graphics. The plane is physically modelled and the controls control the flight surfaces directly, so it should handle like a plane would, kind of, for better or worse. I hope that using the mouse rather than a stick doesn't get in the way too much. |

Really cool game, awesome to see how much you finished. I think the regenerating health system is an interesting contribution from modern games. I still think the flight model is too squirrely, occasionally I would try to execute some maneuver but the wind or something would just flip me over a few times and send me speeding downward. It was great to get an enemy in my sights and shoot them down, though!

Probably that's the plane stalling; one wing usually stalls before the other, which will flip it over. This kind of thing can happen, but I don't expect that the way it happens in the game is particularly realistic since the physics model is about as simple as it could be. I've found a work-around for the msvcr71 problem and updated the download in the first post. Hopefully it will work for everyone now. I also realized that due to a last-minute change flying into the clouds had somehow suddenly become much too lethal; I've fixed this in the download. Hope this is okay. |

The game doesn't boot at all for me. According to what I see in the task manager, it starts and then immediately closes. |

How about this one: [oops] This has the console, and I'm running pyinstaller with fewer special options (and without deleting some extra directories it made that seemed to be full of junk, like I did last time). |

Doesn't work either. Managed to screenshot the console before it closed:  |
