Title: Warships
Post by: seba174 on September 27, 2017, 03:27:00 pm

Warships is an open source (https://github.com/seba174/Warships) logic game
where the only thing player has to do, is to destroy his enemy's ships.

About game

• Single player and two-player mode(hot-seat)
• Languages: English, Polish
• Platform: Windows, Linux

NOTE:

• it is my first project ever
• by this project i learned both C++ and SFML libary, so the quality of the code is not so high

Any criticism, advices or questions are highly appreciated.

This is really cool! :)

The music and sound effects totally sell the game!

While I intuitively guessed correctly the first time that right click rotates the ships, you may want to add a little text at the start.

Thanks eXpl0it3r!
To be honest there is a question mark in the screen, which displays help, when you touch it with the cursor (it's on a black screen).
But that isn't too intuitive, so i definitely has to change that.

I tried running it on Arch Linux, without luck. Wine wasn't able to run the exe, and building the source not possible, because lots of your code depends on Windows-specific stuff. Examples:

- stdafx.h includes windows.h
- Includes ignore case sometimes (e.g. including "enumGamestate.h" vs "enumGameState.h")
- Using types like POINT or functions like GetCursorPos. Those are unnecessary, as SFML has alternatives that work cross-platform

Screenshots look nice though, I was eager trying it. :)

Thanks for your reply, Tank!
I plan to get my game running on Linux, but first i have to install it :P.
I think i am going to distribute Linux version by the end of this weekend.
So please stay tuned :).

Warships v1.2

New features:

• small help information is displayed at the beginning of a game

(https://i.imgur.com/lXidEWj.png)
Fixes:

• fixed an issue, when sometimes setting audio volume did not work
• fixed an issue, when rarely player could not properly place ships
• fixed a bug with displaying player's name

Performance:

• heavy textures are now loaded only when they are used
• compressed (lossless) many textures

Added Linux support, although you may need SFML dependencies to run it (stuff like OpenGL etc., SFML libraries are included) as i wasn't able to build project statically. However, i run it successfully on Ubuntu and Mint with just standard libaries installed :).

You can download version v1.2 here (https://github.com/seba174/Warships/releases/tag/v1.2)
