Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT I have to agree with Camlorn here. While I like BGT for what it does I believe Python is actually a better choice in the long run. There is a lot of choices for APIs and modules, and it is fully cross-platform to boot. these days with the number

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT I dont agree that this project is for complete newbies. I think a project like this could mainly be used when a person gains basic familiarity with a language, including data structures etc. A side scroller could be useful for gaining understanding

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT Im not saying that it necessarily has to be. But thats the impression I got from the first post.You cant learn too much from a side-scroller codebase by itself. I can already tell you the broad points and save you the trouble of reading the code

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT Python is a better choice, especially if/when libaudioverse is working and/or someone makes basic panning alternatives. This is not to do with language, however, its to do with libraries. You can get all sorts of stuff in Python land: easy networking

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT try digging for an old version of battle zone. if I remember correctly, that game did not become closed-source until version 12. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=182359#p182359

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT When BGT wasnt free, I was forced to put my games and projects in a .bgt format, but now that I use sound encryption I dont plan to do so. A simple game like Guess the number will be boring.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=177585#p177585

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT Maybe I was a bit confusing. Im not talking about some sort of generic side scroller framework which was intended from the start to be used by everybody and his dog to create side scrollers. Using the example of a side scroller, what I think would be cool

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT Hello,From what I have seen of BGT, it is not particularly built for open source development.Have you seen the topic on Sound RTS? That is becoming quite open source. Arent the swamp maps kind of like this as well?Just because we dont think it can be done

Open-source complete game in BGT

Open-source complete game in BGT Heres something I think would be a cool idea. A game, which is a playable and enjoyable game by itself, but for which the source code is freely available, and from which people are permitted and even encouraged to use bits and pieces of code as and where

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT

Re: Open-source complete game in BGT Jaybird, I certainly see the merits of such a project. Although, people would still have to understand basic coding skills with BGT else the example would be confusing for a newbie. A side-scroller is a fairly advanced program, and even with comments
