He all,

After a long absence of any game programming I started a new little project today Its called Quick and Dirty FPS. It`s going to be very simple FPS multiplayer deathmatch game like Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 where the editing and levels are inspired by Minecraft. Unlike my previous projects with complex graphics etc this one is going to be as simple as possible Today I implemented:

- Basic editing
- Console with a simple scripting language
- Octree for rendering the maps
- Simple collision with the map geometry
- Skybox

Here is a little video


Some things I`m going to work on next:
- Optimise the rendering of the cubes
- Saving and loading of levels
- Static models to add to the basic geometry
- Per vertex lighting for the geometry

Regards,

Luuk

Neat!

It would be fun to play something very arena-based. How far does your Minecraft influence go on this game project?

[Luuk van Venrooij]

Like shown in the video the only thing minecraft is the use of simple blocks for constructing the levels

This reminds me a bit of "Sauerbraten" a.k.a "Cube 2"

[Luuk van Venrooij]

Yes, the thing that Cube 2 allows you to do is manipulate each individual vertex/edge per cube so you can have more complex geometry I`m just staying with cubes

Cubes rock, and good work! but I'm afraid my soul cannot rest until I've pointed out that Cube 2, with it's ability to manipulate individual verticies on a 'cube', is a mockery of all things Cube.

It would be more accurately described as "hexahedron 2" although those amongst you who require an exact definition may insist upon "non-regular 6 side polyhedron 2"

Although it has to be said it doesn't roll off the tounge very well.

Any why would it? all those flat faces.
