Uffo2

[Aurel]

I just looking into source code and i was wondering from where you generate
all this graphics.
So ,Peter do you use BitBlt api for sprite blittering?

[Aurel]

What are you planning?  Do you intend to write Uffo3?
Yes,  the Api is very stable and you can do plenty of fine things with it.
I do not know why the other members want not write a super game with the wFunc library ?  Is so simple like the first school day.

Yes i have in plan write game like this but i currently dont have time for this.
I still study some things.And yes wFunc lib look fine
I do not know why the other members want not write a super game with the wFunc library ?
Yeah,that's good question...i really dont know why?

[Aurel]

I was wondering where you find all this sprite bitmaps?
I made some search and simply cannot find nothing similiar or some good free sprite creator...

Hi Peter

My computer don't have alien but sometimes i think that have gremlins.

Hmm about Charles comp i'm not sure
something is strange...out there

By the way thanks for links...
Allegro is a junk but Reiner tilemaker i will try...

The Sirians have shackled me to the motherboard until I make more progress with 64 bit compiling. I hope to be released soon.

Not really into games myself...

Besides: the only game I would make would be a "Perestroika" clone. But I think the hardest part would be to write the AI for the "Buerokrats" 

A driving simulator would be OK as well

That should turn PowerBasic and FreeBasic programmers heads in your direction.  

When do you see a Linux port in your crystal ball?

[Charles Pegge]

I dare not predict, John. The test and debugging phase is hard to quantify. Wherever possible I code and test in small increments to avoid embedding bugs, which have to be traced down later. Once buried in the code, they can be very time-consuming to flush out.

Do you have 64 bit Wine?

Charles

[JRS]

Do you have 64 bit Wine?

I'm running on Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit with Wine installed from the Synaptics software installer. Since all the applications I run under Wine are 32 bit, I think not. I didn't know there was a 64 bit version of Wine. I have no interest in 64 bit Windows. I'm waiting for a 64 bit Linux OxygenBasic.

[Charles Pegge]

It is available but perhaps not perfected yet.

Hio Peter...
As i say already...i want do some things with this small & simple and great game.
In first place because i don't touch long time ago any game programming.
Ok after few try-s with your new include i decide to download and use old release 036 because
work with game fine( UNFORTUNATELLY -last not work at all)

I downloaded the zip file from the first post and I get an error. Unknown type. overlapped line 303 wfunc.h

Peter why do you name the folder temp and the game Ufo2. The folder should be Ufo2 so when we extract it matches what is in it. As with other members here, I make a folder with their name in my oxygen/projects folder. So for you I have oxygen/projects/peter/  now when I extract your zip it should put in your folder oxygen/projects/peter/Ufo2. Instead you name a lot of things temp and it name conflicts. I hate to complain, but you put a lot effort into making nice things for us to try, but you don't put effort into packaging it in a nice manner.

At least this time you had the source, inc and bmps all together in the zip, so thanks for that.

Peter...
As i  say it compile fine but is execution is to to slow, on my XP computer.
I try change setFPs but nothing heapend....
What might be a problem, i really don't understand.

When i try old example i recive same error like kent with overlapped
It is something very strange, i also discover problem with coulor depth..
I don't know what to say more ...

[kryton9]

I got a score of 1025. The speed is right for me. It gives me time to react

This zip has all the files needed to make it run with a exe file with the runtime built in, so no need for the oxygen.dll.

Just unzip into OxygenBasic\projects\Peter

[Aurel]

Kent...
Is this some kind of joke or something goes very wrong.
Not work at all,just back image with white rectangles...
what a heck is that

Peter...
As i say and i repeat again.
You say that GDI is slow...maybe you right.
BUT how you can explain to me that your original program with version 036 work
incredible fast on my computer and
latest not ?

So mine conclusion is that problem is not in GDI,right?
If you don't believe , download old 036 and try ...
what to say else...
Im very angry about all that problem....
