| 1036 | 2 | 2000-02-07 10:21:25 | <a href="mailto:hellcatv@hotmail.com">HellcatV</a> has written a 3d space combat game for Windows and is looking for help porting it to Linux: <blockquote> I completed a while ago a multiplayer 3d space sim (cross-universe, similar to Wing Commander). It was OpenGL and GLide compatible and had great gameplay (at least I was addicted).<br> Then I turned to Linux...and I didn't feel like working on a game that would only secure MS's control of the galaxy...so I've come to you with a request that you perhaps post some information about my current game in windows and a request to any gamers/programmers out there to help me port it to windows...I've spent extensive time making the engine modular within windows, but I have no idea where to start with the port to linux from MS Visual C++...<br> so if anyone at all could help me port it to linux in a sort of cooperative manner, then I would appreciate if they mailed me here.. You can download the Windows game at <a href="http://wc.questgate.net/vega/">http://wc.questgate.net/vega/</a><br> I am planning on releasing the source code as soon as I get programmers to help me port it to Linux </ul> | Help wanted porting space game | default | |
