Racing Game

[Super Bakemono]

I am now recruiting programmers for a new project of mine. A 2D racing game, 3D if anyone can help me do that :) email me at bakemono@scurvypenguin.net (http://mailto:bakemono@scurvypenguin.net) if you are interested in helping.

Peace

A couple of questions about it. Primarily what language are you planning on using, C? C++? Java? And are you looking for somebody with graphics abilities (I couldn't draw a car if my life depended on it), or just programmers? Oh, and are you planning on using a lib, or tool kit. Or doing it all by hand?

[Super Bakemono]

Doin' it in c++, and no art is really needed at the moment. And I'm doing it all by hand, well..using SDL for the graphics and stuff, but everything else by hand.

What are you racing? Cars? Spaceships? People? Penguins (TuxRacer has this covered though)?

I might be interested

[Super Bakemono]

cars, was the plan, but I guess anything would work. I'm just interested in creating a basic physics system for a racing game. If you are interested..my ICQ number is 67886717 :cool:

I think I'd be interested, though I'm not sure how much I'd be able to do until exams are over in mid-april :(

[Super Bakemono]

well, anyone who is interested is welcome to help. Contact me through ICQ =] :)

ok, there is a discussion going on on my irc server
scurvypenguin.net:6667 #racecar
go there to talk :)

Just a page of interest... This is something I'm currently using to teach myself game programming. Excellent source for learning by example (as the actually documentation on it is very sparce, though there always are the manpages for all the functions they use). It doens't use a game programming lib, but in fact uses the X-server libs. It includes a good walk through, from creating a simple window, to Networking games. It's all done in C++. The only thing I had to really do was in the Makefile they suppy with the source code, I had to change X11 to X11R6 other than that it works perfectly. Definately check it out (I usually open the source in my browser and type it in by hand with vim so I know exactly what's going on) Again, although a little sparce when it comes to actually explaining what functions you're actually using (for which there are man pages) it's an excellent game programming site for beginners. Aimed directly at Linux.

<edit> Opps! Forgot the page itself.. hehe anywho it's http://game.ncl.ac.uk IMHO a must see for everybody interested in game programming under linux. After seeing this site, I don't even want to use any libs.</edit>
