Here's my progress on a screen saver of a chase/battle in space. It's like the "Starfield" screen saver that comes with windows, but it turns and has two ships fighting each other.



Here's what I still have to do:
>Add an engine glow on the target ship
>add bullets
>add sparks, explosions on hits
>improve the foreship's afterburner
>optimize the code
>fix bug where it spases out every now and then
>put it in screen saver format

What else should I add/change?

This will be my first completed DBP app, so any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

P.S: <Never mind>

Wow thats pretty cool.

Although I didn't see much fighting... it was more of a persuit but I guess when you add bullets it will look better.

I'd definatelly use this as my screensaver. Far better than the original "Starfield" screensaver and entertaining too.

Let me know when its done.

What? It's not a fight without any weapons? Hmph.

Anyway, it's been about three years of working on this, but I was originally trying to use VB6. This is actually just a few months of DBP, so no telling when it'll be done.

Thx. There it is. But a picture is NOT worth a thousand lines of code...

Hmm....
I finally got the engine glow to work on the target ship, but it doesn't look too cool. Any ideas for a cool lookin engine flame/glow effect?
