This new api is a lot easier to use than current versions of Direct3D and has the advantage of being open source and portable across Win9x, WinNT, FreeBSD and Linux. It includes a simple event model and fullscreen support, allowing an application to be easily ported to supported platforms. </blockquote> | QDraw 0.5 | new | |
| 631 | 1055 | 1999-09-02 15:47:55 | I'm going to be helping Bob with the site. Hopefully this shall be fun. I'm going to college in about forty-five minutes though, so my next update may take a little while. For what it's worth, I like interactive fiction games, most which can be played on linux, and the occassional click-fest. <a href="http://happypenguin.org/show?XBill">XBill</a> is really just Diablo with the greater evil. Oh, well. If you need to e-mail me, then so be <a href="mailto:rybread@anok4u2.org">it.</a> P.S. Anyone have <a href="http://happypenguin.org/show?XEvil">XEvil</a> Mutant Strain?

Rating:</em> <font color=#ffff80 size="-1">(not yet rated)</font><p> <em>Description:</em> 5 on 5 basketball simulation for linux<p> <em>Changelog:</em> <ul> <li>Scrolling - You can now scroll accross the court. The rendering of the court isn't perfect, and the hoop on the right end is missing. I will address these issues in the next release. <li>Better passing - I've totally rewritten the passing code, so that you can pass between all the players on your team. It is not perfect and somewhat buggy (I'm working on it!) <li>Added draw.c - This file contains all functions that draw to the buffer and the screen. I did this to make the code a little easier to dig through. <li>AI improvements - The AI point guard now fetches the basketball and takes it up court after the human player shoots the ball and it hits the ground. The next release will feature the whole AI team moving up court and setting up a box offense. </ul> | Ultimate Basketball Challenge 0.3.0 | updated | |
