13447 Crack Attack! games 8437 great game First, this is a great game. Of course Mr. Nelson didn't come up with the main concept (some guy at Nintendo did that ^_^ ) but this is a very nice implementation of it. This would be 5 stars but I've got a few complaints. Like previous commenters I've noticed the game using vast amounts of cpu time in order to get something that is relitively simple done (well compared with UT2003 or Enemy Territory in actuallity this game is fairly complex in what it has to do all the time). The Windows, Linux, and Mac versions have the same performance problem. I believe that this is simply due to an always moving system writen in openGL (that really didn't need to be but it does make it look cooler). Also, some of my favorite things are missing from the game, such as puzzle mode (again reasonable problem and one that I may be the only one complaining about ). I've decided to write another 2D clone of this Tetris-Attack who's goal will be to run on a 100MHz system reasonably well due to this. If I get a reasonably playable version done soon (I've already got quite a bit done)... check it out here on happypenguin.org. 2003-08-26 10:35:14 0
13448 Crystals of Holy games 7841 Crystals of Holy Kewl! A very promising game with ambitions. I'm a great fan of FF and I love it (ok i love FF7 most)! It runs a little bit fast with timer (why isnt it activated by standard?)... But its sad it isn't GPL'ed! 2003-08-26 10:35:19 0
13449 Spacewar games 8487 Cool This game is very funny.Especially that BOOM is funny. But there is 1 minpoint and that is : If you play it too much after eachother it's getting boring :P....... And The rest is nice....I think for a starting programmer i would give emm... 4 stars. 2003-08-26 11:41:44 0
13450 Crack Attack! games 4553 Crack Attack! In the latest Windows version the CPU utilization bug has been fixed (it now uses about 7% of my cpu's time in the middle of its most complicated special effects instead of 100% all the time even before beginning a game). Has anybody looked at the cpu and memory utilization of the newest version under linux? 2003-08-26 11:46:01 0
13451 Crack Attack! games -1 Re: Slow! I agree that its slow on some machines, although it has no problem on mine(533Mhz P3, 512 megs ram, 64meg ddr GeForce3). It gets about 19 fps on a k62 500 with an ati rage, and 256 megs of ram. However The engine can be made faster without killing 3d. 2003-08-26 14:51:59 9447
13452 Crack Attack! games -1 Re: Using more cpu than it needs... It takes about 70% of my P3 600. 2003-08-26 14:54:11 6984
