Game Engine Incorperatrion

[keen@…]

There should be a game engine feature that allows users to make games a lot easyer. The system could use OpenGL or DirectX and could look something like this:

#include <gameengine.au3>

;Creates the game window. The first item is the game name. The second is the size. Full = Fullscreen, Half = Half of the screen.
Gamecreate ("Game Name" , Full)

;Creates a charator. The first item is the name of it/him/her. The second is the type of charactor. Main = Main Charactor (All cameras parented to him), Second = Any other charactor.
Charactorcreate ("Main Charactors Name", Main)

;Creates a camera. The value is the name of the camera. You can use Cameraset () to set it up.
Cameracreate ("Main")

;Sets the camera properties. 1 = First Person, 3 = Third Person.
Cameraset (1)

;Creates a enemy. The enemy has 3 systems pre-programed AI systems. 1 = Crazy, 2 = Normal, 3 = Coward.
Enemycreate ("Baddy one", 3)

;Creates the level. The first value is the width, the second is the lengh. Each value is a cube that is 100x100 (give or take).
Levelcreate (3, 3)

;Sets the properties for the level. You program it cube by cube. 1 = solid bock, 2 = empty, 3 = wall left, 4 = wall right, 5 = Wall top, 6 = wall bottom.
Levelset (1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1, 2)

You could add many other features. Just an idea.

You should add these. Autoit is SO limited when it comes to gaming.

If you want a game engine UDF go ahead and create one.

Will not be created/added to the standard UDFs by the DEVs.

Why not though? Everyone would want it to happen. If I made them it would all be crappy 2D sprites with lots of glitches.

First you need to find someone who's interested in this kind of thing, and then get them to do it. You could maybe start with a forum thread.

And stop reopening this. The ability to reopen really needs to be administrator-only.

Closed.. and please do not re-open this.

I'm leaving it as closed but you should re-write the privleges so that members can't re-open.

Honestly, I find this idea to be incredibly dumb.

GameCreate()???

It would be like turning autoit into something 3 year olds would use without any relative difficulty.

Autoit was not meant to be a gaming language. Go play with the big boys in C++.
