About time I made a WIP about something, don't you think?
darkSMASH is another Smash Bros. Clone, like TGC Heroes, but it's a little different. For a kick-off, it reads all characters and battlefields from notepad-editable unicode files and then runs the simulation using Box2D via Diggsey's awesome plugin.
It's not very far through development, but it parses half-c files correctly and even has a little error detection (checks that files exist and that the right amount of parameters for a command have been given) and I thought maybe it's time I uploaded a WIP after about a week of development.
All of the media in the screenshot was done in Paint by myself. With the exception of the logo, which was done in Paint Shop Pro.
It probably seems like a bit of a copy of TGC Heroes, but it's very different (fully 2D instead of 3D) and I've been making failed SSB clones for years.

Now, now... You can't just go and copy a succesful game formula, Nex. That'd be copyright-breach and stuff. I think this is absurd! Blasphemy!

On a more serious note, it looks very good. Lets see if the competition spices up some things

. And we're glad we're so known that you'd mention us

Go to the site (http://www.darksmash.dbjournal.org) to see a video of the physics engine. Or else.

Looks good

Erin Catto made Box2D btw

Hopefully when Box2D V2.0 comes out, the engine will be much improved

(With continuous collision detection, you can have objects travelling at bullet speed which still react correctly with other objects

If you have any suggestions/criticisms for the api, just tell me in my thread, and I will hopefully have them done for V2.0

Thanks. It is awesome how easy to use it is; it's one of the first plugins that I've been able to use without constant referrals to the documentation. Every command name makes sense.

I've spent a lot of time doing clean-up, and got it to run quite quickly. Scans for files (characters, worlds, items) and loads a set in under 250ms.
Just implemented the basics of items, can't pick them up yet, but they're loaded from text files containing details of their looks, physics, rarity, whether they can actually be dropped from the sky, and what should happen if you pick them up. Pity I forgot to include some code to drop them at random intervals rather than at each frame.

Fixed.

Oddly enough, NeX has a hammer. A technically advanced one. Using tricks with asset sharing, the game uses only 23mb of RAM even in that bezerk scene. I was expecting into the hundreds.

Very impressive use of physics, animations, and 2d! I'll be keeping an eye on this. Has the potential to become another "classic WIP", as I've just decided to call them.

So like Xbox controlers and the likes? Sweet. I assume not all 8 people play on the same computer either. Makes the game that much cooler, I say!

...yes, all 8 can play at once on the same computer. BTW, the mouse trails are because my screen has a 32ms lag. Not because I activated them in the options.

32ms?That would suck!

You can't see much in the video, but the controller option sounds nice.

I'm having problems with GLFW.DLL hanging on initialization. It's gotten worse, and the game only starts about a quarter of the time. If I disable the DLL and therefore gamepads, there's no problem. I can't get SDL to work at all. I'm not old enough for a PayPal account so I can't get my hands on MultiJoy. Does here anyone have any other suggestions for input DLLs? I found MyJoy11 but a lack of direct axis reading makes it a bit limiting.

You can only use two controllers at once, and that's useless for a Smash Bros. game. The lack of plug 'n' play is annoying, too.

I just thought I might give you a slight update.

The basics of items are implemented. They can be enabled/disabled, are dropped at random according to a rate inside specific zones on the map and are subject to Box2D. The picking up took a lot of work to implement, due to my slightly clumsy coding. I was forgetting to update the item indexes in the character arrays when I was deleting items, took me ages to figure that one out.
Characters are split into three layers - front arm, body and back arm, so items can be drawn in the left hand, the right hand or in front/behind of the character. Each item has a set of actions it can alter (i.e. pick up, physical attack and up) with a simple item scripting system that can take up to 16 commands per action. I'm hoping to make the attacks deal damage and knockback, etc. next.

Your gameplay looks to be very smooth, I like it.

All you need now is to start setting a basic character framework so that you can mass create characters with ease once the animations have been created.

I'm becoming increasingly impressed by this game, your animations and physics are near perfect, the style is awesome and aesthetically appealing, and everything seems to just flow together. I really don't have any criticism other than work faster!

Seriously, I want to see this finish.

Looks sweet. I'm annoyed at the smooth video taking. Fraps is always too laggy for me, If I want to post a video I have to code it so it takes a screen per frame (fps of about 0.02) and then string them together in virtualdub so there is a 30fps, and then compress it in windows movie maker. The process takes about 3 hours per 30 seconds of video. And then there is no sound! Geez!

nice work! Always enjoyed super smash bros.

I'm working on a 2d Fighter engine at present (more like street fighter). From what I've read your game can run at multiple resolutions. Just wandering how your doing that does it just give a wider view angle and reposition the GUI? I'm guessing your using plains instead of sprites.

My engine is fixed at 1024x768 I hadn't considered variable resolution. Any reasons for your choice?

The menus run solely on sprites, and just rearrange slightly to accommodate bigger resolutions. The minimum resolution is 640x480, and there is no technical maximum resolution. The rest of the game is done with 3D, and so doesn't need any code to scale it, but none of the HUD extends beyond the minimum 5/4 ratio in game. When the game is playing full screen, it automatically corrects the in game ratio using the sizes of the monitor, fixing squashing I quite often see on wide screen systems.

I had a break for about a month whilst GCSE coursework and exam preparation madness took hold. A bit long, perhaps, but I was spending 1-1.5 hours extra every day doing coursework after school.

I'm back.

Also, I hope you're aware that fangames are illegal - you might want to not say its a super smash fangame because then it may be shut down. I've seen it happen, and I'd hate for it to happen here.
