Hello everyone!
I finally made it and now "PhysiX-Brick-Breakout" V. 1.4 is ready useing the nice FreshGUI to make it more comfortable to use!
It's still my first game, I just improved it by adding the GUI (and this was harder than expected)!
Screenshots:
The new menu/GUI:
1. Main-Menu:
2. The "General-Menu" with help-system enabled:
3. Game-Play-Menu:
4. Sound-Menu:
5. Graphics-Menu:
6. PhysX-Menu:
7. The Short-Manual-Menu with some kind of "Tab-System":
In-Game:
1. Shows how it looks like on startup (with enabled Parallax-Mapping):
Shows how it looks when the "Force-Field-Effect" is enabled:
Shows the Dark-Physics interaction of the particles:
Important things to know:
AGEIA-PhysX Driver needed:
To play the game you need the latest AGEIA-PhysX Driver (because the game uses Dark-Physics which is based on the AGEIA-PhysX-SDK)! A link to download a version is shown below!
Also have a look at the point
"How to download:", because otherwise you might be unable to get any files downloaded!!!
How to download:
1. ! IMPORTANT !: Disable any Download-Manager or say NO, if it asks you to download the file (it will ask after you clicked on the link!)!!!
2. Click on the link below
3. Click on the "Free-User"-Button on the left side of the browser
4. Wait untill the counter (big number changing slowly in the middle of the browser-window) reaches "0.0"
(4.1 optional: Select a server from the list)
5. Click the "Download"-Button
6. Click "Save" in the upcoming dialog
7. Select the place where you want to save the file and click "Save"
8. Unpack and have fun!

Feel free to put a comment here, if you find something like a bug or anything else that could improve the game! (As far as it can be improved, cause it's still a simple (stupid?) game!)
I would welcome everyone willing to test it in Hardware-Mode, cause I have actually no PhysX-Card (I hope to get one in the future) and give me some feedback, IF it worked at all!
Try it out, maybe it performs better on your machine! (Also try disableing the 'Parallax'-Mapping-Effect, it helps a lot when starting the game with a lot of objects!)
