Off Topic / MagnetBall WIP Screenshot (No GLBasic)

« on: 2013-Apr-19 »

Hi guys,

this is a screenshot of my work in progress game "MagnetBall".
The aim of the game is to navigate a metallic ball threw many puzzle levels (this is only a testlevel) by using a magnet.

The special thing is that you "hold" the magnet in your hand using the Leap Motion Controller.
Kinect and mouse movement will be possible, too.

And the controller works pretty well!

Please tell me, what do you think about this game and it's controlling idea?

GLBasic - en / 3D in GLBasic games

« on: 2013-Mar-22 »

Hi guys,

I would like to know who of you use 3D in GLBasic games and if not, why?
If there is no option for you, feel free to answer in text.

It would be really nice when you tell us, if you use 3D and if not... why not?

Cheers

GLBasic - de / Mit GBAL/GLBasic Snippets Geld verdienen?

« on: 2013-Mar-22 »

Hi Leute,

gibt es eigentlich GLBasicianer, die schonmal Geld mit einer GBAL-Lib verdient haben oder es zumindest vorhatten?
Interessiert mich nur mal, ich habe das noch nie mitbekommen.

Und wie wäre dies überhaupt möglich, es gibt ja keinen GLBasic-Store.

Klar ist kostenlos immer gut, aber Entwickler für tolle Sachen etwas zu belohnen finde ich auch nicht schlecht. 

Solche Sachen wie der Unity Asset Store funktionieren ja tadellos, natürlich sind da auch mehr kommerziellgesinnte unterwegs.

Off Topic / Do you know 2D sprite (static or animated) stores?

« on: 2013-Mar-08 »

Hi guys,

do you know any portals/stores/places like Turbosquid etc. but mostly for 2D graphics / animated sprites?
I can't find them but I can't believe that there is none. 

It would be nice if you know one or more of them.

Thanks

Off Topic / My first Playstation Mobile game

« on: 2012-Aug-23 »

Hi guys,

today I want to show you screenshots of my PSM Game "FlipIt".
It only has alpha status but it's playable!

Aim of the game (cool rhyme xD) is, to turn all chips in a level with the white side up.
The "problem" is, that each chip next to the flipped chip will flip, too, so you have to think a little bit.

On Ps Vita the controls now are currently:
- Digital Pad -> select the chips / move the cursor
- Square -> flip the chip

Features of the game are:
- amazing 3D (Ok, now there are only dummy graphics and models ) in asian wood style
- It's easy to understand
- 100+ levels
- multilanguage support (english, germen, french, maybe japanese but I don't know any japanese^^)
- perfect for short playing on the way to work 

I would be happy if you could give me feedback, what you would like for features and if you would buy it when it's released.
Any other comment is welcome, too!

Thanks and cheers

GLBasic - de / Push-Pop-Matrix für 2D?

« on: 2012-Jun-21 »

Besteht die Chance, dass Push- und PopMatrix für 2D-Befehle eingebaut werden können?
Das wäre echt extrem hilfreich, finde ich.

Userlibs [ *.gbal] / 2DEntitySystem

« on: 2012-Jun-18 »

Hi guys,

here is my first verison of the 2DEntitySystem for GLBasic!
I added some demos where you can see how it can work.

It's really easy to use and I hope you like it!
The code isn't finished yet. If you have any cool ideas or functions then post it here and I will add it to the system.

Please comment it, use it in your games and mention me in the credits. 

Cheers

GLBasic - en / 2D - "Entity System"

« on: 2012-Jun-15 »

Hi guys,

would you be interested in a "2D Entity System" where you can easily create an entity like in the 3D Entity System and then use powerful functions to move / rotate them?

An example code with 10 boxes moving relative to there parents would look like this:

Code: GLBasic [Select]

// --------------------------------- //
// Project: 2DEntity
// Start: Friday, June 15, 2012
// IDE Version: 10.202

SYSTEMPOINTER TRUE //enable the system pointer

//grab a test sprite
LOCAL spr% = GENSPRITE()
DRAWRECT 0,0,10,10,RGB(255,0,0)
GRABSPRITE spr,0,0,10,10

//---INIT ENTITY STUFF---
LOCAL es2D AS T2DEntitySystem //create a new entity system

LOCAL boxes[] //entity array

//create 10 entities in a line
FOR i%=0 TO 9
        LOCAL box% = es2D.CreateEntity(i * 30, 0, 0)
        es2D.SetTexture(box, spr)
       
        IF i > 0 THEN es2D.SetParent(i, i-1) //the entity before is now the parent of this entity
        DIMPUSH boxes[], box
NEXT

LOCAL angle# = .0

//---MAIN LOOP---
WHILE TRUE
        LOCAL mx,my,b1,b2
        MOUSESTATE mx,my,b1,b2
       
        //move the angle with the mouse buttons ;)
        angle = 0
        IF b1 THEN angle = 1
        IF b2 THEN angle = -1
       
        FOR i%=0 TO 9
                es2D.Rotate(boxes[i], angle*i/10)
        NEXT
       
        es2D.SetPosition(boxes[0],mx-5,my-5)
       
        es2D.DrawSystem() //draw the whole system with only one command :)
        SHOWSCREEN
WEND
 

The result would look like the demo in the attachments :

GLBasic - de / GLBasic Suchverzeichnisse für Compiler???

« on: 2012-May-30 »

Kann es sein, dass die CMP - Befehlszeile in GLBasic ignoriert wird, oder benutze ich sie falsch, um ein oder mehrere Verzeichnisse als Suchverzeichnisse einzubinden?

Wenn ich folgenden Text einfüge, findet GCC trotzdem nicht die darin enthaltenen Dateien

Code: GLBasic [Select]

-I"%GLB_PROJ_DIR%/verzeichnisX" -I"%GLB_PROJ_DIR%/verzeichnisY" ...
 

Ich hoffe, dass es nur mein Fehler ist und es ansich funktioniert!

GLBasic - de / 2D - "Entity System"

« on: 2012-May-29 »

Ich bastel gerad sone Art Entity System in 2D (nicht GLB)...
Nun stehe ich irgendwie auf dem Schlauch!

Ich habe ein Entity, welches beliebig viele Entities als Kinder hat.
Nun möchte ich beim Bewegen oder Drehen alle Kinder Updaten und relativ zum Elternteil bewegen / drehen.
Könnt ihr mir mal einen Pseudo-Anstoß geben?

Code: GLBasic [Select]

//pseudo-schleife
foreach(Entity child in children)
{
child.Position = new Vector2(?, ?);
child.Rotation = ?;
}
 

Danke!

GLBasic - de / Wird GLBasic die PS Vita unterstützen?

« on: 2012-May-22 »

Meine Frage steht ja schon im Titel...
Ist geplant, dass GLBasic die PS Vita unterstützt?

Es gibt ein freies Beta Devkit und später wird es für 99,- im Jahr (nach meinem Wissen) möglich sein, für diese zu entwickeln.

Off Topic / Do you pay for 3D models?

« on: 2012-Apr-25 »

I have only some short questions:

1. Do you pay for professional 3D models they are optimized for GLBasic?
2. Would you pay for that if it's not too expensive (for e.g. 25€ for a animated cartoon character or 15€ for a car)?
3. Would you like to have an GLBasic 3D models store with optimized models? (it's only a crazy idea of myself  )

I'm just interested if you would buy 3D models they are optimized for the GLBasic 3D engine and payable or if you would prefer to learn 3D modeling by yourself.

cheers

3D-snippets / 3D - PolyCircle

« on: 2012-Apr-17 »

Hi guys,

I wrote a little function to draw a Polyvector circle in the 3D world.
You can only draw it on the z-axis = 0, but it's really cool.

Code: GLBasic [Select]

LOCAL rotationZ# = 0

WHILE TRUE
CLEARSCREEN RGB(0xff, 0xff, 0xff)
        Make3D()
       
        INC rotationZ, 1
        IF rotationZ > 360 THEN rotationZ = 0
       
        PolyCircle3D(-6, 2, 4, rotationZ/2, RGB(0xbc, 0xf8, 0x94), 90)
        PolyCircle3D(2, 5, 3, rotationZ, RGB(0xff, 0x8c, 0x8c), 45)
        PolyCircle3D(-8, 10, 3, rotationZ*2, RGB(0x78, 0x6f, 0xee), 1)
SHOWSCREEN
WEND

FUNCTION Make3D:
        X_MAKE3D 1, 1000, 45
        X_CAMERA 25,25,25,0,0,0
        X_AMBIENT_LT 0, RGB(0xff, 0xf9, 0xea)
       
        X_DRAWAXES 0,0,0
ENDFUNCTION

//Draw a 3D circle with this amazing function xD
FUNCTION PolyCircle3D: posX#, posY#, diameter#, rotationZ#, col%, _step%=1
        STARTPOLY -1, 0
                FOR i%=0 TO 360 STEP _step //_step=1 -> full detail
                        POLYVECTOR posX + COS(i - rotationZ) * diameter, posY + SIN(i - rotationZ) * diameter, 0, 0, col
                NEXT
        ENDPOLY
ENDFUNCTION

Bug Reports / EntitySystem - Licht Bug

« on: 2012-Apr-12 »

Hi Leute,

ich benutze für mein Spiel das EntitySystem (ich liebe es!)... Nun benutze ich für mein Level ein! Ambient Light, welches -150 auf der Z-Achse liegt.

Zu betonen gilt vielleicht, dass ich hinter meinem Level NICHTS anderes mehr habe und dennoch wird ein Schatten meiner Objekte auf den Hintergrund geworfen... Zudem gibt es einen "Schatten-Bug", wie gekennzeichnet...
Kenn ihr das Problem und die Lösung dazu?

MfG
Ole
