The Abandon Wars

Sunday, May 18, 2008

I've been 'briefly' side-tracked yet again ;). So instead of Space Crusading I've been working on... well... Harrier Attack. Now renamed to Harrier: The Second Sortie. Enjoy the screenies below.


The frametime shouldn't ever climb above 16ms but as I haven't optimised the collision detection yet the shot below has made it all the way to 20ms. Also when running under linux it's significantly slower (by about 3ms a frame). I'm not sure why yet.


I've also got a project manager now, thanks to Justin and his 'self correcting schedule'. Sadly the self correcting just refers to the estimate. It doesn't self correct by doing work I should have :p. Maybe in version 2 ;)

Later!

  • Optimizing Java?!? What's the point? It's fast enuff! :)

    Keep up the good work. I wanna see the finished version of this :)

  • Still working on it. Diorgo should be nearing the end of his sabbatical so hopefully new art will appear.

    I forgot to mention that DirectX doesn't work in Java (fullscreen) which is why I have to force openGL.
