Space Invaders Clone - Game finished

[Mortal]

Game finished

hello everybody i just finished reading the SFML Development Book. it really a great book many thanks to all authors. i have made a simple space invaders based on what i have learned from the Book.

here a new video with latest update where the player can spawn



source code is available hère:
https://github.com/MORTAL2000/Space-Invaders-Clone

NOTE: it tested on VS 2015.

Looks pretty well done. Good job.

thanks @Verra really i appreciate. i have made little changes differ than example in Book. it supports mouse in GUI when user navigate buttons , i dont know why in the book says it's difficult to implement mouse functionality. it's appeared easy to do it. it only needs to iterate throughout all components to see whether or not the mouse position contains in buttons boundaries. of course, the annoying part in mouse implementation is when it has sound and continuously beeps when it is hovering throughout buttons. now, in the game, sound only beep once when the mouse hover the buttons.

however, the game runs only in release mode. it doesn't work fine in debug mode, the frame rate drop to zero especially when i implemented the collision detection. i tried to use QuadTree as many people suggest but no avail, maybe i implemented the QuadTree wrongly i'm not sure.

once again thanks for your kind words

Hey MORTAL,

ah this is so old school and amazing, great work. Art and sound is awesome I love this stuff!
As I started working on my "practice games" Space Invaders definitly comes on my todo list

Cheers!

[Mortal]

thanks SeriousITGuy

nice to hear that you were back to practice games keep it up. indeed space invaders has tobe in your list. it easy to made and also fun. i have made it earlier but with ascii text-base. this is my first graphics game

btw, @Hapax is doing his practice games nowadays, whats that a coincidence  . i have looked to his practice game, he made awesome mini-libs, really it's worth looking at.

I've downloaded the source code and tried to compile it, but unfortunately my Visual Studio 2013 is sending back these errors:

(click to show/hide)

Error   1   error C3848: expression having type 'const std::_Bind<true,void,std::_Pmf_wrap<void (__thiscall Spaceship::* )(float,float),void,Spaceship,float,float>,std::_Ph<1> &,float,float>' would lose some const-volatile qualifiers in order to call 'void std::_Bind<true,void,std::_Pmf_wrap<void (__thiscall Spaceship::* )(float,float),void,Spaceship,float,float>,std::_Ph<1> &,float,float>::operator ()<GameObject&>(GameObject &)'   c:\users\bane\documents\visual studio 2013\projects\mortal_space_invaders_clone\mortal_space_invaders_clone\command.hpp   33

Error   2   error C3848: expression having type 'const std::_Bind<true,void,std::_Pmf_wrap<void (__thiscall Spaceship::* )(void),void,Spaceship,>,std::_Ph<1> &>' would lose some const-volatile qualifiers in order to call 'void std::_Bind<true,void,std::_Pmf_wrap<void (__thiscall Spaceship::* )(void),void,Spaceship,>,std::_Ph<1> &>::operator ()<GameObject&>(GameObject &)'   c:\users\bane\documents\visual studio 2013\projects\mortal_space_invaders_clone\mortal_space_invaders_clone\command.hpp   33

After searching a bit, I found out that it is a compiler error. So if anybody is using VS 2013 (like me), he is going to have a tough time compiling it.

hi Brax

sorry for what you had through, probably i should mention that in main post.

yes indeed thats why i installed VS 2015 since i realized, VS 2013 which i had, it has a bug with std::bind. but i regretted for installing VS 2015. most of third party libraries such lua and glew even current SFML need to recompile once again to fit VS 2015. special thanks to@eXpl0it3r for his night build for SFML. personally i don't know how to build those libraries by my own yet.

quick fix you may convert those error std::binds to lambda expressions

[Mortal]

UPDATE:

i have re-written QuadTree class. now, the game seems work fine in debug mode. i would like to know, how to get maximum efficiency from QuadTree. i know it can be done by storing the objects in leaves only. i have tried to achieve that, and somehow i managed to store objects in leaves as possible. but i'm not sure whether or not i did it correctly this time.

thanks in advance.

If you use tabs for spacing, code on github starts looking a little bit ugly

Well, the distance between function return type and name is still quite impressive even with ?ts=1
