I've been workong on this for about 3 days now... and it still looks crap but meh.. here's the latest two screenies...




I am in no way an artist.. I'm a programmer .. it shows painfully (but not as bad as it was without any lighting calculations ... *shudders* that was bad)

The White/Blue thing round the screen is meant to be a HUD, but nothing's on it yet.. hehe.. it's a placeholder ;)

You could also tell us what it is. It looks like a laptop, but there are planets on it... or it is supposed to be a cockpit in which you look diagonally up (I hope not).

Looks nice so far, wouldn't mind doing some 3D stuff myself. What language are you using?

Space Pirates is a prototype of an Elite-clone of sorts.. it'll need to be LARGELY scaled back as it's for coursework and is due in a couple weeks (28th April, to be exact.. hehe)

It's being done in C++ and as for screenshots, they work here o_0 maybe try going and looking at them manually:
http://gamez.stuckieworld.net/gamez/pirates/

That folder also contains the earlier ones which look pretty horrid... no lighting calculations and so on **shudders**

The White/Blue thing is a cockpit.. it's actually flat, the "perspective" you see is an eye trick cause of the angles I've drawn it... don't worry, it will be changed, I just wanted to get masking sorted out, and my "AMAZING" art skills came to the rescue ;)

Oh yea and apologies for not explaining what the hell it was... posted them when I was knackered after about 2 days straight of coding O_O

That's my hotlinking script kicking into gear (you're lucky it's not as evil as it was, it would be showing shock images like tubgirl ;) )... odd that it's doing so cause this site is in the except list so should be displaying fine :S

Does the hotlinking script need to set a third party cookie?

it shouldn't .. all it checks is the referrer that's grabbing stuff from my server.. the client shouldn't have anything to do with it really.

I've just added the domain itself to it, see if that fixes things

Yeah, it works at home anyway. Also it looks gorgeous. :moustache:

Currently having to rewrite the camera due to severe cases of Gimbal Lock (curse space and all it's degrees of motion-ness-ess...ess o_0)

Once I've got that done, I'll enable the JumpGates and then maybe release a small techdemo where you can atleast fly about :)

The final submit, basically...

Due to having anemia for a few weeks, it's kinda screwed me over and I don't have time to get it to what I had planned for the coursework deadline.

I WILL be continuing this AFTER the deadline however... just it's ended up a silly tech-demo due to illness :(

Yea, it's annoyed me no end that I literally have code for a Trade Engine and Collision Detection sitting waiting to be plugged in, but I don't have the time to implement it.

Best I did was fix the camera to use Quaternions so no more bloody Gimbal Lock... hell I never even managed to fit bitmap fonts in :( and that's piss easy.. ugh I hate being ill..

On the plus side, I can detail exactly what I'd do in the report, and hopefully get a decent chunk of credit for it even though it's not implemented.

I also have no idea what one is, but I know what Gimbal lock is. Am I working backwards?

Already looking much better, but just an idea, everything looks too aliased, and there are not much lighting effects...
