PGDmC: Vectored!

[paul_nicholls]

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?!?!

Whoa. NICE!

Whoa. NICE!

Thanks mate I'm trying to get some simple 3d models into the game now (wire-frame only)...

Have you thought about adding some lines to improve the feeling of depth like in Tempest?

[paul_nicholls]

Thanks for the ideas pstudio

cheers,
Paul

+1 for lines.

Can SVEngine pull off the particle effects etc found in cap #2? It'd be quite nice to see something that polished - mind you, if your THAT good you might just land a job replacing Ted Carson (Red dead redemption for non-followers)

Looking good so far though. Might try get a few dozen lines in this evening on my entry - only spent a handful of hours so far on everything. Game kernel is uncommented - you have to be in the zone to grasp it fully. Mortals....
