PGDmC: Vectored!

[paul_nicholls]

Here is my first screenshot of my game. I have finally added in some software 3d routines to draw 3d objects.



I am experimenting with a retro tunnel effect that will probably move towards the user

May be some Elite style starships?

Sounds good
So what was the image? it didn't show up...

EDIT: haha! it showed up AFTER I posted

Sweet bro. Is this one running in SvPascal?

Yes indeedy Jarrod

Nicely done with the software! Thanks for making it

@paul_nicholls
No problem. Thank you for testing and sending the feedback.

Looking at the pic reminds me of a Star Castle type game I was working on some time ago. Wonder if I still have the sources. I love retro style games too BTW. Fond memories. I lost a many quarters playing Gyruss, Asteroids and others.

Keep going bro!

I have managed to get my tunnel to move now - it was quite easy too!

http://fpc4gp2x.eonclash.com/downloa...ng_tunnel.html

I just stored an array of tunnel segement Z positions, and decreased those over time.
When the first segment goes past the near clipping plane I move all the segments in the array down one position and make the last one equal the second last one + a segment distance

procedure TVectored.ScrollTunnel(const aTimeSlice: Single);
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  for i := cMaxTunnelRings - 1 downto 0 do
    FTunnelRingsZ[i] := FTunnelRingsZ[i] - cTunnelSpeed * aTimeSlice;

  if FTunnelRingsZ[0] < FGraphics3d.NearZ then
  // move tunnel rings forward and put 1st one in back
  begin
    for i := 1 to cMaxTunnelRings - 1 do
      FTunnelRingsZ[i - 1] := FTUnnelRingsZ[i];

    FTunnelRingsZ[cMaxTunnelRings - 1] := FTunnelRingsZ[cMaxTunnelRings - 2] + cTunnelRingSpacing;
  end;
end;

PS. hey guys, when are we getting Pascal code tags?!?!

cheers,
Paul

Anyway I'll say it: If I remember correctly that is a Coriolis Station. The rectangle is the dock-entrance.

I think you've been typecast as the retro style game maker. Looks very interesting though. I used to love playing Gyruss on my old NES.
