Game Engine 4.0

[Tomb]

I have been working on a game engine for quite a while. While it is still very early in development, I thought I would finally like to share some of my progress with you.

It features basic combat and movement as well as online tcp connections to play multiplayer with a friend and chat.

Multiplayer can be simulated locally by running two instances of the executable. To play online with a friend, the host will need to forward port 7000.

I originally started with GDI+ and eventually combined GDI and GD+ as well as various optimizations for a much needed speed boost.

I would appreciate any feedback about game performance or bugs. It is still a very early alpha release which I work on regularly and will update again as more progress is made.

I have included x32 and x64 bit versions of the main executable file.

Gameplay:

Arrow keys to move

Enter key to use chat. Type a message or command and press Enter again to send.

/Help to see a list of commands.

F11 for full screen mode.

Left and Right Click for attacks.

The game files can be downloaded at http://unwarped.com/Game Engine 4.0.zip

GDIP.au3 can be downloaded at

Here is a recent video I uploaded in July. Although many changes have been made since.

I have uploaded the latest files this morning. Various bug fixes. The source code is now included.

I have been working on another update. Bug fixes, added particle effects, and more. I will be uploading it sometime soon. Surprised I haven't had any reponses yet.

Hello,

It seems that you forgot to include the file <GDIP.au3> in the zip. Where can I find it?

PS: your .zip file get flagged by chrome as "Game Engine 4.0.zip is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous". Follow this link to fix the problem (maybe that's why you don't get any comments ?).

Ignore it and click "Keep" and it downloads just fine. It appears that Google is just being paranoid.

This includes are not needed in Game Engine 4.0.au3

#Include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#Include <EditConstants.au3>

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>

#Include <SendMessage.au3>

#Include <GDIPlus.au3>

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

#Include <Misc.au3>

#Include <Math.au3>

#Include <File.au3>

For avoid errors when running au3 check, you can declare global variables at script's start instead in function as PathFind.

And for avoid browser false alerts, simply use high fileinstall compression instead of upx when compiling the script you put in the archive.

Nice engine, and game, good work.

I have been doing a lot of work on the Game Engine lately. Although the updates aren't ready to upload yet, I have a video showing some of the new features.

The update will include an inventory system, some basic particle effects, and some interesting 3D-ish effects I have been working on.

Thank you BrewManNH for providing a link to GDIP.au3. I have added a link to the main post.

Wakillon I agree about the global variables used in the pathfinding and these have been fixed. Although I'm not sure what you mean about the includes.

While I agree that some of these are not needed others are absolutely necessary for the game engine to run properly.

Please clarify about the includes comment.

This is pretty neat. I never knew Autoit can capable such an engine with single thread.
