    Lightbulb My DirectX games

    Perhaps some of you are interested in trying out my two of my best games. They're written in C++ using DirectX 8.

    Please let me know what you think.

    Bandii - platform game

    AI Arena - AI development game

    They're not quite optimized yet, especially AI Arena requires a good graphics card to run. (GeForce2 style)

    Heh, cool. The "beam-shot" is really nice. Will you release the source, it would be an interesting reading (especially the platform engine). One thing though: Why did you have such a complex starting-button-sequense? (Ctrl+Alt+End). Wouldn't Enter be simplier . Anyway, great game.

    A few bugs:

    ¤ Sometimes, the player walks backwards.
    ¤ The dialog at the end of the first level is too quick, no chance of reading it all.
    ¤ It crashes when exiting.

    PS: I recognize some of the sound effects from Klik n Play .

    >> Bandii - platform game

    Cool Game man! Good Job

    and as for the AI Arena, I couldn't try it because 54 meg is just too big for me to download in this connection...it would take 2.5 days But looks cool in the screen shots!
    oh i'm sorry! i didn;t realize my fist was rushing to meet ur face!

    I don't remember really, but I think it's supposed to be that way. Hmm.. sometimes you say...

    ¤ The dialog at the end of the first level is too quick, no chance of reading it all.
    Hmm, I thought the timers was system-independent, it looks good on both my 350Mhz and my 1.7GHz.

    Your memory isn't kidding you, I have used Klik 'n' Play, but I've learned a bit since then..

    That was a pretty cool game (platform one). I'm on 56K so I didn't get to check out the other one. Also the music in the first one. I definitely heard some Doom MIDI's as well as a very familiar intro midi. I cannot put my finger on what it is though. I think some cartoon I used to watch??

    EDIT: Ah ha! It's the McGuyver Theme!! Cool
