YAY! Finally a decent shoot-em-up!

:)

very cool :) i still want to see a good software 3d engine though... nostalgia i guess

forgot to add: it crashes on my pc after a while :/

i'm using w2k, maybe check for memory leaks, pointer juggling, etc... i know that w95/w98 have a certain "tolerance" for memory management misbehaviour :)

Very nice! Are those 4 screens / split or screenshots?

Wow, thats a nice little project! :D
How exactly are you doing the astroids? (2D vs 3D, and still vs animated) Is that red and blue firey stuff on the sides animated?

A good software 3d engine... hmm, maybe i'll finish mine one day ;). I have a descent 3d software engine, but the trick is that it runs under my own OS. It's still only a 16-bit OS, so it's very limited in memory ;). Once I can figure out how to get 32-bit stuff working properly (like a 32-bit floppy/harddrive reader, mouse, svga, etc.) maybe i'll update my engine. Runs fast, but doesn't look to pretty (320x200 (13h)). Also it runs in 16-bit Mode (no 32-bit code, and no optomizations (mmx, 3d! now, sse, or even the FPU for that matter!)). Anyways, I've been working with Windoze and OpenGL lately, much simpler than writing a software engine, I'm about to give up on it completly, and just get with the times ;). To bad nVidia woulnd't respond to my emails about getting info on their graphics cards so I could write my own driver for my OS. What's the point of writing a 3d GUI Shell if you can't use hardware acceleration? Oh well, maybe someday I'll get fed up enough with m$ that I will finish my own OS, but for now it's pointless.

Badass.

There are no spit screen shots on his site so I assume...

I am conholio! Wauhhhhhhhhhooooooo!!!!!!!!

Nice job =)

I played it and I found it fun. But the game froze after I hyperjumped... Might want to fix that. Anyways, I had fun. Nice graphics and stuff, although I never did get that cool gun:( Just variations of the blaster (I got triple shot and double shot, and double shot kicks a lot more ass than the triple shot imo).

pookachuu! VERY NICE :-)

I like it. Fun, nice graphics, and brings back memories from the good old days.

Sweet!! The panning sound effects are a really nice touch. The graphics are nice and smooth. Great game. It crashed after the hyper-jump, but heh you said it was an early beta :) Keep up the good work.

ah, its Galaga.
Have it on my NES :)

huhuh - a decent 3d-engine without fpu, 32-bit code and linked to a single screen-resolution ? :-)

Good old Deluxe Galaga, I wore out at least one joystick playing that :-)

You tell them, those mean big companies with thousands of worthless employees, you'll show them how a one-guy-coder-army can do a decent 3d-engine/OS/driver all by himself!!!!!

Hey, you have to respect somebody who's managed to write an operational operating system !

roxxx! :)

ive been waiting for a demo of this for some time ...
it just so happens that im making something quite similar ;)
(but my game has more of a Phoenix bias than Galaga)

i thought Deluxe Galaga ruled on amiga, so really looking forward to playing your new masterpiece!

it seems like my game has a lot to live up to,
what with these 2 gems aswell:

Bugatron

GloryZone

i will post my game as soon as i deem it fit ...

best of luck!

p.s. I started a game on amiga called Deluxe Pacman,
then one day i look in a magazine and you've stole my bloody title!

Very nice graphic and alot of fun. Well done!

Btw, you know know of good open-source terrains?

Hey I wrote an OS, when I was 13, In QBasic! It did lots of amazing things like, erm, arh well it had a cool random blue screen of death crashing effect, which was fully programmable - you change the tollerence level, timing etc.
On the plus side you could load and run some software (mainly my own), had multple screen savers - what more could you want.
I once started making my own software engine but gave up and decided to learn OpenGL instead. Maybe sometime I will get back to making a software engine. It might be better making it a real time ray tracer for the future.

Uhms, if it wasn't operational it would just be a system, wouldn't it..? :-)


> Hey I wrote an OS, when I was 13, In QBasic!

Uhhhhhh....
Well, yeah, I recently wrote one in a batchfile..

Very nice graphics and sound.

Is there a mouse option?

And more ammo?

Its great.
Fast and furious.
I didn't have any problems with warps or anything.
