12221 Cube games 7030 Rock'n'Roll! Plays and feels like Quake and has a builtin map editor. A very promising and fun game that is even playable over network with a slow link! I really can recommend playing this if you like FPS games. 2003-06-24 04:55:30 0

12225 3815 news 506 Re: "*****craft-like?" ...be carefull!! Mentioning that game 'foo' is similar to game 'bar' shouldn't be really any problem, after all Warcraft is similar to Dune and without a doubt the boys and girls at Blizzard got more then a tiny bit of inspiration out of Dune. I am simply honest in that matter, RoboVasion will not break any new ground and due to the use of Freecraft it will be pretty similar to other RTS games already available, there is not really anyway around it and beside that its perfectly legal, its not that Blizzard would have any patent on the "build a base and crush your enemy concept" of most RTSs. 2003-06-24 09:31:16 12224
12226 Soccar games 7778 Re: how to compile sources ? Hi, I'm the soccar developer. What is maniability? I guess you mean maintainability. I used VC++ 6 on Windows and jam on Linux. Jam is a make replacement, I used it because I don't really like autoconf or make. I used them for a while, but as a developer I consider jam being a superior tool. It is also portable across OSes, not just unices. I saw it first on the Boost homepage, and later in Crystal Space so I tried it. Now I know never want to write a Makefile again. :) 2003-06-24 09:52:33 12218
12227 3815 news 8162 Re: "*****craft-like?" ...be carefull!! i'm just being cautious ...you've seen what happened to FreeCraft ...i agree that there's very little to no legal base on which Blizzard founded their complaint, but still ...it worked ...i just hope that FreeCraft forks won't suffer from it ...well, for these 3 forks that i've seen unil now, i'm pretty certain that they've got no obsticles ahead in that matter :D 2003-06-24 10:22:56 12225
12228 3815 news 506 Re: "*****craft-like?" ...be carefull!! Freecraft got shutdown mainly due to the lack of motivation on the developers side, the Blizzard letters doesn't really seem to be the main cause for it. Btw. which is the third fork? There is RoboVasion, ProjectInferno, what else? 2003-06-24 10:43:48 12227
