Don't hold down the planet generation button.... might break everything

1. Google infinity Universe.
2.?????
3. Destroy hopes and dreams.

Mooooon!

Better make it epic.
Some Polish guy invented The Powder Toy.
And Poland cannot even into space.

It's the beginnings of a decent engine, but as of yet, it doesn't really do anything. I mean, sure, I can wander around in space, but why?

Cool, so you generate circles of different colors and sizes and it's supposed to be some revolutionary system that creates "planets" that are "never the same"?

>>1013241
>never the same
I wonder what the probability is of creating an exact replica of a planet on his game. Same size and color.

>>1013241
for now, im obviously not done.


>supposed to be some revolutionary system
Where did i imply this?

>>1013124
Well, you've gotta start somewhere.
Just wondering, what's your level of programming knowledge, and also possible career goals?

>>1013285
Know a tiny bit of some stuff, im making this in AS2, trying to learn AS3 at the moment as well. I'm not really sure what my career goal is, most likely making a really good AS3 (good enough to get really popular) game and letting people purchase the full version for $5 or something and get rich like that.

>>1013267
>supposed to be some revolutionary system
sorry I didn't mean to say that

>>1013327
You wanna get rich with Flash? good luck lol

Already being worked on
There doing a better job
http://www.infinity-universe.com/

>>1013381
Yeah, that's what inspired me pretty much (said on my blog)

Its pretty amazing, but looks like its a few years from release, they have been working on it for 5 years..

>>1013381
bam! someone just got the kibosh thrown right at him.

if (Scroll wheel != works with flash in most browsers) {
OP -> fixGaem(&now);
}

>>1013427
Doesn't work for me.

>>1013427
Other than this scroll wheel zoom problem, is alright, I suppose.

>>1013427
wat,

What do you mean the scroll doesn't work? what does it do? works fine for me, but its different for ever mouse... i thought i fixed this problem... fuuuu.

>>1013453
But I want to zoom out to see all the planets I created.

>>1013468
>its different for ever mouse.
Fuck, I want a forever mouse. All I have is this piece of shit default one from Dell.

>>1013468
just add two keys to zoom in/out.

>>1013483
I propose @ for in and ( for out.

>>1013468

Make e/q zoom.

Also, automatically zoom the frame to encompass the local planet. Introduce gravity which effects the ship.

Give me something to shoot at.

Amazing use of code, OP. Keep going! Favourited, and will be watching.

>>1013539
If WASD is used to move, than q and e would be needlessly awkward.

>>1013539
Just made Z and X zoom, and i plan on adding gravity soon! right now im making the auto planet spawning code, will update the here/the blog soon for the new version

>>1013561
I'm witnessing progress in action.
This is making me want to fap.

1. Develop in AS3
2. Set publishing target to Adobe Air
3. ???
4. Desktop application!

>>1013570
:D

>>1013561
Up latest build?

And this laser shoot at?

>>1013591
I haven't decided yet, i might make gameplay mining or something, and have the minerals unique to every planet, and the mineral name and property will be completely unique and random for every planet, or i might just make it where you can select different lasers and you fly through space trying to survive while shooting other ships, etc.

>>1013585
Soon! want to finish some things first.

>>1013608
>want to finish some things first.
Some work to complete

bookmarked. i want to see if you go anywhere with this, or if you get bored and drop it. do you having any plans for what to actually do in this game? some reason for me to spend time on it?

>>1013693
Thanks, and i will most likely go somewhere with this if i get at least some verbal support haha.

as to what the gameplay will be about, i really dont know yet but i have many interesting ideas. once i fine tune and add a lot more to the basic engine i might narrow it down.
Right now i just finished my garbage collector! if a planet and moon are to far from the player they get deleted!, now i gotta make the procedural generation code, should be fast.

I'll be following this OP to see if you do anything with it

might want to do something about the spawning of worlds. if i hold down r i get trapped and lagged straight to hell.

you're a tripfag and nobody likes this shit

>>1013762
you're a fag and no one likes you

Oh Talisman~ :3

Sorry for the long wait guys, i was pretty lazy when i made the hittest for the ship hitting things, it didn't work right at high speeds to i changed it, NOW i can qquickly do the generation. then i can add stars.

If you make stars, then make the planets not-as-glowy.

>>1013865
the glowyness of the planets was supposed to be a sort of atmosphere that was different for every planet. i plan on making the color generation for planets not pick star red, completely white, or light blue so you and make stars have like 3x as much glow as a very glowy planet so you cant confuse them
