Hello

Lately I decide to make my first game. To do so, I first try to make my own game engine and here I'm with GameCreator. Ok it's not extraordinary for the moment but it's a work in progress.

GameCreator is a small game engine with :

-physic (object are consider as point)
-camera options
-keyboardEvent
-mouseEvent
-event/action logic

You can check my demos here : http://www.gudradain.byethost12.com/GameCreator.html
Control the blue sphere with wasd. (Sorry the site is in french).

My goal with this project is to make a racing game in 2D a bit like Mario's Kart.

I hope you enjoy the demo

There are some slowdowns but it works here under Mandriva Linux 2007 with Firefox 2. Please avoid spelling mistakes on your website (French is my mother tongue too). Good luck.

Thx for testing it.

Could you describe what kind of slowdown and mouse glitch you experience? I'm aware that if a demo is running and you mouse over something that popup a message (like the X of the window that popup ''close'') but only when I launch the program from netbeans... Also, my cpu usage stay below 5% all the time will it run

I'm a little bit surprise that it works on linux  I code everything on windows and I never try it on linux. But I'm glad it work.

Thx for telling me about the keyboard azerty (I just learned that it existed). I will add arrow key control in the next version.

For, the Applet I must say that I never use them so I will check if the game can run fine on them without a lot of change and if yes I will try it.

Cool physics in your pong game but you should implement a computer player!

+1

yes it will be fun to play against CPU (maybe you can also see if possible to add some AI features on your game engine ?)

yes that's it, your engine aleady handle some graphics and some physic, I dont know how to present the AI module but yes basically it wil be something like that : trigger/action, but that's just an idea you can add it later if you found any interrest on doing it.

Mouse input are there  and I add a shooting Demo.

I also add multiple level for the object so you can choose with what object another object can collide (see the shooting Demo)

Hello h3ckboy


If what you mean is that the computer completely beat you, well that's the desired result  But seriously, I know it's a bit tricky at the begin but it became easy enough with a little practice (I beat it 90% of the time now)

What I mean by game engine is well game engine. I check the entry on wikipedia and it looked like what I was trying to do so I take the name and add mini because it only manage basic graphics (''circle...''), some physics and basic artificial intelligence.

For the source code, I'm still undecided to release it now. I was definitively planning to release it at some point but I wanted to get a better game engine first. What I realize currently is that I'm cruelly missing experience in a big complete game to be able to add the good feature with the right architecture in my game engine. (So if anyone want to hire a free programmer I'm here).

Hello

Here is the source code of GameCreator and of the Pong game I made with it in Slick.
