Thread: AirDogs 1942, a TBDI sample game

    AirDogs 1942, a TBDI sample game

    Hi folks,

    after 3 weeks part time work, I proud to show off a little 2 player game.

    I have to say thank you to Petr Schreiber for providing the TopDown3D
    sources as they helped a lot during the development.

    The game is called AirDogs 1942 and is a WW2 dogfighting game. It's not 100% finished
    but allready fun to play. My son and I enjoy it very much.

    The controls are simple:

    JoyY to go faster or slower, or UP and Down
    JoyX to turn
    Button 1 to shot
    Button 2 to select

    If no joystick is connected, you ADWS and space or LEFT,RIGHT,UP,DOWN,L

    Once the bundle functionality is working again, I will create an exe for it.

    Like allways, comments are welcome.

    Take care
    Michael

    EDIT on June 7th, 2008: Updated the code with bug fixes and singler player code by Petr Schreiber. Also the menu buttons have a better size now so the FPS isn't dropping down anymore.

    Mike,

    this is perfect !
    Finally my joypad got some use

    Really good, nice and clean look ... fantastic !

    I tried to use my PC steering wheel and joypad to control planes and it worked perfectly.


    Good work!,
    Petr

    Steering wheel, not that is something. Thanks for the nice words.

    FANTASTIC !
    Thanks a lot to you for this astonishing example and for your new TBDI module. Tell me when you will be ready for official release.
    Also a big thanks to your son, that I imagine he was your beta tester ;D

    I will play with my son too and will give you back impressions.

    A big :-*

    I can tell you, he had a blast.

    The game isn't 100% finished because I was suffering from headaches and neckpains a lot this week. But the publisher made me releasing it. ;D

    I will work further on it, as I have some ideas.

    Single player mode, different planes, options, maaaayyyyybe network playing.

    It's a simple game but you can do a lot with it.

    Well, not so simple. All is present: presentation, interface, multiple controllers plus keyboards, graphics, sprites, sounds. An impressive job, Mike.
    Code is perfectly organized, clear. A joy to have a look for study purposes.

    Mike,

    I hope my work on new TBGL will go ok as till now,
    when released, it will simplify even more whole source of AirDogs

    Just after playing Airdogs I finished attaching camera to entity which was making problems before,
    so your game has brainhealing efffect too

    That was another goal I had. Writing a playable game in that short period and still having a codebase that is reusable and readable. Overall I put around 30-40 hours into it. It also helped me to figure out how fast and far I could come in a given timeframe.

    has brainhealing efffect too
    I'm glad I could help out here. I can't wait till you release it.

    Thanks Mike, as Eros said, you did a complete job, I really liked it from start to finish. A beautiful splashscreen, a nice menu, sound, sprites, action, and scenery, plus wide support of input. Excellent, thanks so much for the hard work and release!!!
