Cell game - testers needed

[Pyritie]

I need as many people as I can to test this game thing. You can't do much in the game but I want to see how many people can run it.

How to run

• Unzip it.
• Double-click RunCellGame.bat to play. You need to have java installed to run it.
• If it crashes or won't start, copy the last few lines in CellGame.log and paste them into a comment here. You can ignore the other error text files it creates.
• Sorry, but I've only made it work for windows (for now). Please try it under Wine or something though!

Controls

• Arrow keys to move
• Click anywhere to fire antibodies
• ` to toggle the debug info
• Esc to quit

You should see something like this if it is running correctly

OoooOOOoOoO!!Do we get to guns and lazers?

Works fine here

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Well it appears to work on Vista but the colors are all very dark and weird.

Appears to work fine, though what's with the FPS? 950? Oh and colours look odd, uploading screenshot.

Could you tell me what version your directx is? (Run > dxdiag)

That's good. Can you tell me what version your directx is as well? (Run > dxdiag)

And 950FPS? Sheesh, you got one hell of a computer! :0 I only have 350ish

(The colors are fine by the way. They're just temporary textures )

DirectX 10, Windows Vista 32-bit. Haha, yeah.. it was pretty much the latest news.. one and a half year ago. GTX280 isn't half bad still though.

Same lol! Though mine didn't work...It might be a Java problem..

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Probably, I'm a Java programmer, so I've got pretty much the latest Java software installed.

 

[Pyritie]

It's not a java problem. It's either a problem with directx or a problem with the java wrapper for a graphics engine I'm using. Or it's just a problem on my end.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

-- Direct3D9 --

.. from the error report posted further up. Would that mean it is trying to access DX9 and not 10, which is the version he has? Seems odd though.

 

[Pyritie]

Yeah but people who have d3d9 on their dxdiag still get that error. I don't really know what's causing it :/

(I'm trying to get an ogre4j dev to help out: https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3376312&forum_id=707387 )

It works totally fine on my computer. I have Windows XP 32-bit. DirectX 9.0c
And the highest FPS I got was 100. But I have a question though, why does the FPS increase when my little "thing" is moving from the black stuff and towards the models? Shouldn't it be more "challenging" for the GPU to process the models instead of the blackness?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

It also needs something to update. A completely black picture (sorry for misspell.. dunno how it occurred to me) does not need to be updated and would produce very low FPS, while movement on the screen increases the FPS until your GPU can't handle any more.

I don't think so. The program just keeps updating the frames as fast as it can, no matter what you're looking at. So I dunno why.
The models themselves though are not very high poly so that shouldn't be an issue.




By the way, could those of you who are having a problem try the attached program instead? Use the RunCellGame.bat.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Well, I always get higher FPS when there is movement on the screen, though I get a more stable FPS while the game is paused/standing still. Of course, if the movement increases over a certain limit, the FPS goes down again.

 

[Reaper2008]

Worked fine for me. I have Vista 32bit, and DirectX 9 & 10 full, plus 7 and 8 runtimes.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Works fine for me also.

 

[Pyritie]

I edited my last post up there. ^

 

[Numerion]

DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) <---mine version

 

[Pyritie]

- added physics
- added antibodies (click anywhere to shoot)
- added bump/normal mapping

 

[TheDivineBoss]

It's not enough Py!

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Indeed

 

[hazy]

works fine for me, and I have windows XP DX 9.0c

 

[Pyritie]

It's not enough Py!

What's that supposed to mean?

 

[Billy the Cat]

I'm only not too sure about the background
Looks too fake realistic to me
I'd say go for totally fake or totally realistic

The rest is nice

 

[Pyritie]

It's just some texture I found on google

 

[Huurka]

It's just some texture I found on google

The game works for me. But the texture is quite disgusting.

 

[HailFireer]

Works fine with me. FPS average was 34. Max was about 40, and worst was 0.9something.

I had hours of fun with it. Shooting things and stuff.
Hehe, joke.

I wish I could make something remotely like that. Best programing I ever did, was in robocode, and it was still lame...

 

[Billy the Cat]

Average FPS stays above 160 for me.
Max is about 180.

 

[Numerion]

Average FPS around 59 here...worst was 52, best 65 (Xp Dx 9.0c)

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

If Pyritie's final game doesn't have volumetric lights, depth sprites, normal mapping, HDR and all the other interesting shaders, it will suck.

Got that?

 

[Pyritie]

why would you need volumetric lighting inside a body

 

[Billy the Cat]

accidental swallowing of light emitters.

 

[Pyritie]

Go here for the download link and other information

as you can see, the style changed a lot

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Hmm. I haz high fps

Scrnsht

Anyway, TURN EET INTO A GAEM NOAW! Plz?
And make some enemies

Just wondering, but how fast is the movement on that fps? Like... stupidly fast?

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Just wondering, but how fast is the movement on that fps? Like... stupidly fast?

It's normal. It doesn't look like it 2x speed or anything, or maybe a little. The thing spins really fast when I'm moving along the sides. But the "walking" is normal, unless it's supposed to move slow.

 

[Pyritie]

How fast is it compared to this?

 

[The Reborn Devil]

It's slightly faster

 

[Pyritie]

Okie doke, so the speed isn't increasing too much then

 

[Dr Super Good]

You are not using a FPS cap? o.o what a waste of system resources.

High FPS is awesome

@Py, you don't happen to have the first version do you? I want to see if I can beat shiiK's FPS

 

[Pyritie]

NO Ul

 

[Pyritie]

You are not using a FPS cap? o.o what a waste of system resources.

Also the physics is capped at 60FPS I think

 

[Dr Super Good]

Ewwww, needs java to run.
(not everyone has java on their PCs)

And I will only install it when I need it (next year).

 

[TriggerHappy]

I tested it and it ran at ~35 fps.
It seems a little low considering I play Warcraft III at ~25-30 fps and it doesn't look like your game is very graphically demanding. I would not suggest using Java for this, as from my experience java is fairly slow compared to other programming languages. IMO it shouldn't be used for game development at all, but I am not very experienced in either so I could be totally wrong.

Anyways, good job and it's looking good.
