|
|
I just wanted to annouce the new project I started in dsource.org, a simple space strategy game, inspired by Qonk.
It uses Derelict (just SDL for now, and probably SDL_ttf, SDL_net and SDL_mixer later). I also ported SDL_gfxPrimitives to Derelict.
I believe it's not far from a playable state (everything works, just need to finish the interface and some small details).

Heh. That sounds scarily like my D project, which is basically done and already supports multiplayer. What a coincidence! |

You forgot to to name and link to your project.
Is it hosted here in dsource.org? I can't find it. |

Hehe. A README.txt is on the TODO list. But you could have checked the original Qonk. Here it is:
The objective is to conquer the planets and moons. The gray ones are neutral. You control the white ones. Colored players are bots.
The three white dots around your home planet are ships. Every non-neutral planet produces a new ship now and then (larger planets produce more.)
You don't see the enemy (or neutral) ships. The neutral planets start with a random number of ships (max three).
Right click on any planet to send a ship there (from your nearest planet that has a ship). You can hold it to auto-repeat. When a ship arrives an planet that is not yours:
1) If there's no ship on the planet, you take it.
2) Otherwise, both your ship and a defending ship are destroyed.
You can use command line parameters to alter the number of planets and bots, or you can use the B key to add a bot in the middle of the game (it will take a neutral planet). The format is:
./qonkd fullscreen=1 screen_width=1600 screen_height=1200 planets=30 bots=8
(Well, I'll just copy/paste this as an initial README.txt now :) |

I didn't forget, I omitted them intentionally.
The project isn't released yet, and I don't plan to make it open source. It'll be commercial/shareware. Evidently I have some open-source competition! But that's okay - It's half serious commercial venture and half learning experience, so I'm not too fussed if the commercial part doesn't work out. Either way, I will have learnt a lot for my next game! |
