Pure Racer Demo

Tomcat · Post by **Tomcat** » Tue Dec 02, 2003 12:42 pm

Hi all,

maybe some of you remember the Racingtest, which I posted some months ago.
Well, soon after that I started Pure Racer. Now I don't have time to finish
it and my harddisk with all sourcecodes crashed two months ago, but I saved
a playable version on my other drive :) You can download it here.

If you got a 1.4Ghz-CPU and a GF2 like me, it should run at 60 fps without
problems. I hope you like it.

Bye,
Tomek

It works really good and it's impressive... Too bad you loose all your sources, keep up the good work !

Thank you Fred. The loss of the sources may be bad, but I will use OGRE next
time, if I'm going to write it again. Should be looking even better then :)

Oh, I forgot: you can add some of your favourite music (mp3) to the
musicplayer. At the mainmenu, select 'Options -> Sound and Music
-> Edit playlist', browse your harddisk and select some songs. If I'm
playing it along with some Metal/Rock-tunes, it is even more fun :)

I'm ready to assist you as much as I can if you want to use OGRE for the next version. Feel free to contact me, I plan to update the 3D features at the beginning of the next year (with OGRE 0.13).

8O *BAMM*

*Berikco gets back on his feet after falling down*

Whow, impressive!

i got white Square (Sprite3D?) in the right down corner thats rotating, and moving with the engine RPM.
I guess this must be a RPM counter?
GeForce 2 MX400

Uhhhh ... very very impressive !!!
Well done ... works rather fluently even on a 800MHz Duron + GeForce2!

Well done!

I think, I've messed up something with the transparent color, because I got some
problems myself in the past with the RPM-Counter (the white square) and the
minimap at the top (got a GeForce2 GTS, no problems now). Thank you guys, for
your feedback. Didn't expected, it would even run smooth on a 450Mhz-Celeron :)

Thanks again Fred for your assistance. I must admit that I've coded not much
since my harddisk crashed. Slowly but surely, I'm getting this special feeling
back ;) I think, I'll take a closer look at OGRE in the next weeks and contact
you, if I'm in trouble.

Bye,
Tomek

Tried the test and it was, well, not realy playable but this was realy nice... good work, looking forward for the OGRE-enhanced version.

On windowed modus, the trees has a lila boarder (in fullscreen-mode it is ok).

in the right corner are only two big white boxes (in both modes).

p.s.: Frame about 50-60.

Cool

SetMeshData will work with normals ? I hope

Yes, I wrote my own engine for this game (used only TransformSprite3D()).

Btw: any complaints about the gameplay so far? I would appreciate some
feedback about that, too. Is it fun or does the game just suck? :) What
do you think about handling/drifting?

Bye,
Tomek

First of all, the grafix and the navigation through the menus are very good and easily usable! So, it is fun to click through

.
By pressing [RETURN] to get a better view is also extremely good. For my point of view, I would like to have a little harder steering and additionally a bit more sliding through the curves.
Well, thats just my wish - lets see what the others think about.
