My first game in DarkBASIC. No score system, none of that yet. Just drive the truck around and hit the animals.http://www.angelfire.com/games5/me0/cow.html

Ok,I love the animals!! Dont get me wrong, I know it's your first game but...driving around running them down? Whooaa!
Imagination!!! A bit of Gaussan blur followed by noise filter on the grass map would sort that out - in Photoshop - then use offset to make it seamless. I think theres a great game to come out of bouncing animals though - and NOT involving a truck!
Maybe you could make a game using terrain/matrix which
involves rearing/herding animals!!! You could have all the
different farm buildings for milking and feeding ...might sound wierd but a good designer could make a good game out of it. FARM simulator!!! Running down the
animals within this game structure would then make it VERY amusing!! Like disciplining/slapping your beasts in Black&White. All anybody wants to make at the moment is boring RPGs(using a fifty year old world invented by Tolkien)/FPSs(yawn)/Zelda!/MArio...EVERYONE - Do something different!!!!!

yeah that could make for a good original game. A farm simulator where you had to manage the farm, but also get your hands dirty with stuff like driving your combine harvester, shooting vermin, watching countryfile, posing for charity calenders, and whatever else the farmer of today does.

What would really rock would be a game where you had jayce`s car from jayce and the wheeled warriors (the name escapes me), with the big gold claw arm on top- you could pick up the cows and chuck them. Outstanding!

Agamer: Sorry if going around aimlessly running down bouncing animals is your idea of a good game then man...you'll be one of those people causing the death of the games industry by buying any branded tat that gets released like FIFA 2020 Winter Edition, Project IGI 12 3/4 and Delta Force 29 ...

Could you please include cats to be rum over as a few years ago a destroyed my XJ12 trying to avoid a cat. I went thro a brick wall across a garden and into a green house. A bloody cat fell out of a tree that was over hanging the road and on to my bonnet. As you can imagine revenge would be great.

Dark Basic Pro drove me to drink, I really should E-mail them to say thanks.

It should be obvious that I'm not trying to make a game that's commercially marketable at any level. That's not the point. I just thought it would be a cool idea. And it ought to be fun for a few minutes at the least. Mainly just a programming experiment. I'm posting the source on the site, if anybody wants it. I don't care what you do with it. Nick, it ought to be pretty easy to replace one of the animal models with a cat model. Although, it somehow seems meaner to hit cats than farm animals. Maybe because farm animals are doomed to death anyway....

Vegephilles be damned, more blood!

Veggies are only persecuting plants by sparring the animals anyway.

I want bigger animals! Blood! Windscreen blood smears! and Splattering sounds!

Project IGI 12 3/4 - sounds very interesting....

Looks very good, especially for you first try!

Herding Animals - that could be quite a good game idea - a very niche market, though.
