Hi all, this post is going to track my progress from a DBPro newbie to a pro. I'm going to make games starting from the uber easy to more professional games. Here's a list of what I plan to make (to be edited in the future):

1. Number Guessing Game

Status: Complete, with source code below.



2. 2D Pong

3. 2D Shoot 'Em Up

I skipped 2D pong, it was kind of boring... So I'm on to 2D Shoot 'Em Up!

I don't have a lot of core gameplay done yet, but lots of the GUI handling and such is coded.



Right now all that happens is 50 ships randomly spawn and move down the screen, collision between them, the player, and the bullets is also done, and I can control how many enemies are alive at one time.

Also, it's all done in 3D using textured plains, allowing for lots of cool effects, such as when your plane does a loop it actually comes closer to you, and the bullets are 2 plains rotating. I'm also experimenting with different views other than just top-down.

Looks pretty cool, maybe after this you should try 3d games?

Thanks!

I started a WIP post for it now, it's come quite a long ways since I've been working on it, so if you'd like to download and test it out, here's the link:
