Ok, I decided to try some AI stuff for games (this is something fascinated me for long).
For this I put an old-fashioned space shooter together. Until now its only the raw program with no NN-AI.
I want to test it as is before starting to code the AI.

Here are some screenies

nearly after game start

And here is one of level 4



What I want to know...

Does it run (or better: on what machine doesnt it) - Processor, speed, graphics, memory...?

It should run smoothly with 31-32 fps.
At what machine does the framerate drop under this value? - Processor, speed, graphics, memory

Arghh - my old problem
I used absolute pathes... I should have learned it... but unfortunatly it seems I didnt..

The easiest way is... create this dir and copy all the stuff in it...

C:\DarkBasic\Projects\Space shooter

Runs very smooth. One critisism so far: the ship responds far too slowly for the amount of firepower coming at you. Otherwise, looks like it could make into a cool game. I love old-school space shooters.

Hm, see the bar at the right upper side of the screen. There are addons that let the bar grow and coor it more toward green (orange, yellow). With this the ship respond more quickly to your mouse move.
Maybe I should add some text as "speed" to it.

Concerning my interests: Could you tell me what your machine specs are? speed etc. to see what me minimal configuartion is needed

If someone is interested - here is the source:
it uses the BlueGui plugin (only for messages) and the image enhance plugin (for ost of the 2D stuff) - so to compile maybe you have to code around...

I have a suggestion... maybe you should make the ship smaller. Also, you could add a 'Custom Fighter' mode, where you build the ship with cash, upgrade the shields, etc...! It would make you incomprehensibly rich!

How are you at 3D modelling?
Can you model. I have one suggestion, this game is so cool, I'm going to beg you to make it into a 3D version, because if do the graphics good in 3D then this game will rock!!!!!!!!!!

@Iron Condor
I coded it so, that it uses the image size. If you want tohave smaller ships, just resize the media files included. Should work without problems...

+ @RPG Freak
I´m not really good at 3D modelling, but it should be enough to make some ships and bullets...but...mainly I wrote this game to work on neural networks using at game agents (for this I needed a not too complex game...)
I´m not sure if I would add much more time to improve the game. If you are intersted, feel free to use the source and add such things.

As stated above, my interest is more, if it runs smoothly on your machine (mainly if you use slower machine, please add some specs - as far as i know, it should run on 2400+ machines fine ...)

Currently i`m fondling with NN and GA. If it runs, I´ll add this to the enemys and release the new version.

Cheers
