SFML projects / Re: It Always Ends In Nuclear War

Thanks 

It's single threaded.  I'd like to eventually have it be multithreaded, but I think it's worth it to optimize the pathfinding regardless, as I think the game is going to have to calculate large paths quite a bit.  Not going to lie though, a lot of the reason I want to do it is also because I like working on that type of thing. 

edit:  It's also the type of thing that's almost entirely self contained, so I can play around with it and have it be useful regardless of what changes I make to the rest of the game.

Ah damn, I thought I was grabbing the public URL.  Thanks for the heads up, and thanks for the invite

I’m still working on this.  I admittedly don’t have much progress to show at the moment, but I am putting in a great deal of time and effort.   The hard part is coming up with a design that I like



Graphically I like the direction I’m headed, but there’s definitely something not quite right about it. I’m about as far from an artist as one can possibly get, so I think what I’ve done so far is pretty good, but like I said, it’s still not there yet. As you can see, the current thinking is that the entire game is going to have a textureless look, possibly even going as far as to have no sprites or external images used at all. This serves a dual purpose - It takes some pressure off of me having to somehow get high quality art assets, and I also think it gives off a unique stylistic vibe.

Hopefully I’ll have some actual progress to report soon.

Well done . 

It's really simple, but it's surprisingly fun.

Congrats!

Would you be willing to reveal how many votes it took to get greenlit, and how many of them were yes vs no.  Feel free to ignore this if you aren't comfortable with that

Sounds good.  Made an issue of it here https://github.com/SFML/SFML/issues/744

Feature requests / Maximize window on startup

« on: November 30, 2014, 07:09:30 pm »

It'd be convenient to have an api call to create a window which was maximized on creation.  I've searched for this and the answer was that SFML is not a dedicated windowing library. . .  However, maximizing a window is one of the options that might be added to SFML 2.

It's honestly not a huge deal, but I'm wondering if there's any room for reconsidering this now that SFML 2.0 has been out for a while and the SFML team has expanded quite a bit.

Thanks for your time.

Pretty exciting.

I just took the three minutes to download, compile and test it out.  It seems to be working just fine in my project / on my machine, but I'll post back here if I notice anything.

Voted.  I wish you luck, I don't think you'll have too hard of a time getting greenlit.

At the very least you should make the hitbox for the ship bigger, as well as make it a bit more obvious that the goal is to click and drag from that ship. 

Either way, this is pretty cool.
