Cell game - testers needed

[Dr Super Good]

I play Warcraft III at ~25-30 fps

Theres your problem, by the sounds of it your PC is pushed to its limits as it is playing 7 year old content.

On top of that pyritie is making a game in a slow and unefficent language (for speed realted computing, its ok for general computational solving of tasks) using a highly demanding graphic engine (the engine can do a lot more than he uses it for so it is not optimized for his use). Logically it will not work well.

Some understanding of your specs would help him debug what is bottleknecking it, but I doubt he even cares (if he did he would have used C).

I am using JNI so even writing the whole thing in C would not make it much faster than it is now.

I think it's mostly because I'm using so much transparency and Ogre wasn't really made to handle that. It is a 3D engine after all and most 3D models do not have very much transparency.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Next to the fact it would not have to load the whole java run time environment to start and all code could be compiled to be optimum efficency (do not think th java does everything as fast as possible).

Well then complain to the makers, as even WC3 uses hellish ammounts of transpariency, from billboards to water to water elementals. to firelords.

You must remember that he has litterally used a plug together approcah at programming for his game, you can not expect it to run that well (think of GTA4 which also used the same approach and how it is one of the most demanding games ever made). I am sure if he built it from the ground up as optionally as possible, there could be major speed improvements (especially 3D wise as like he said the alpha is probably not being accelerated properly).

Anyway, this still does not make up for the fact that you run WC3 at substandard speed.

Interesting game, only problem for me is I don't know the goal, what am I trieng to do in it?

You're still only able to test the system

Nothing at the moment, just see if it works

 

[ACdestinydream]

lol i tot it was cell game as in game for cellphone lol.
will test it later after dl, running very slow. around 1.2mb/sec

 

[Numerion]

will test it later after dl, running very slow. around 1.2mb/sec

see the funny part?

 

[ACdestinydream]

wads so funny?

 

[Numerion]

man , stop trolling...its obvious whats so funny for everyone...nuff said

 

[ACdestinydream]

i dont understand u. say clearly pls?

 

[Numerion]

Look at your post...you stated there that your connection is very slow only about 1.2mb/sec ... now count...if the cell game has got 24 mb , how fast will you download it?
in other words...to most of others it took around 5 mins...so please dont troll with that your connection is slow...

 

[ACdestinydream]

5 mins? how come?

 

[Pyritie]

1.2mb/s is very fast, not very slow

(sorry about that download by the way. It has two music files in there that are never used that I forgot to remove D

 

[ACdestinydream]

well if 1.2mb is fast then wad do u consider 5mb then? my dl speed is one of the slowest compared to many who lived in our country. ppl like my fren who gets good broadband can get 5mb/s so mapling isnt a prob but ppl like me whos only 1.2 is like snail.

 

[Pyritie]

Well I dunno where the heck you are but most people in the world get anywhere from 5kb/s to 700kb/s

You mean megabytes, right? And not megabits? There's a difference you know.

 

[ACdestinydream]

megabytes yes

 

[Pyritie]

Where are you?

 

[ACdestinydream]

singapore

 

[Pyritie]

Ah no wonder, when I was there I saw posters for 100Mb broadband... I was like "O____O WANT"

I think singapore has one of the highest (if not the highest) internet speeds in the world

 

[Numerion]

D: i am scared

 

[ACdestinydream]

lol some1 still say i troll =.=

 

[Pyritie]

yeah, people really need to learn what trolling is instead of just labelling any sort of disagreement as trolling

 

[Dr Super Good]

Can people please stop showing off their insanly fast connections, there are already 2 threads doing that.

With 1 mb/sec the game would dl in seconds, so do not bother saying it takes long.

People in the UK like me are stuck at 300 KB/sec average max DL with it occasionally peeking for a few secs to 800 KB/sec while a peer to peer speed of 16 KB/sec DL (yes 16 not 160 or 16000) during the day. Yes I mean KB/sec not kbps (1 KB/sec = 8 kbps).

When I was at home I could get speeds of around 50-60kB/s. It all depends on how many seeds you have

 

[Vengeancekael]

lol my fps was too high i didn't have any problems, you're game is compatible with windows 7 too, cuz i'm running windows 7^^

 

[Dr Super Good]

Its java, there is no reason for it not to be, just I do not have java installed.

Get Java you caveman

[Billy the Cat]

High fps is good or bad? >.<

 

[Numerion]

good until it goes over 100 FPS ---> thenyour monitor must give more frames then it should ----> 1.more electricity 2.danger of destroying monitor >.<

lol'd

Your screen's refresh rate is fixed Can't change that

What it's basically telling you is how many frames it's rendering per second. It'll still only show frames at the speed of your monitor though.

 

[Billy the Cat]

Ah I see.
My Average FPS on the game is around 120 and I was wondering if that would be slow. ^^;
It doesn't feel slow anyway.

lol damn it what computer do you have?nasa pc?:O

 

[Pyritie]

- You only get 20 antibodies. Press "0" to reset (this is because of a work in progress of antibodies disappearing after a few seconds, giving you more)
- added an enemy. Press 1 on your numpad to make it appear (Num lock might have to be turned on)
- the enemy might go through itself for now but that won't matter once I get the enemy to move around by itself
- spent a while reorganizing class structure/hierarchy
- antibodies are no longer recycled. Was getting to be too much of a hassle for only a very slight performance increase
- few other changes

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Wish I knew what's solid and what isn't. This game sucks. 2/10

 

[Pyritie]

omg D:


yes, that's something I'm looking into. I'm not sure what would look best though - thin black line around the border? Or what?

 

[The Reborn Devil]

lol damn it what computer do you have?nasa pc?:O

Specs: linkz0r
It's not done yet
I'm going to buy Windows 7 as soon as possible and I'm going for more RAM and better HDD and a better PSU and possibly a new case xD

So in other words, get a new pc XD

 

[The Reborn Devil]

A new PC would cost too much. I'll just buy some more parts and put them into my comp. The OS part might be harder.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Just get XP. I think the OEM version can be downloaded free or something.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

I already have XP
I want Windows 7 ^^

 

[Dr Super Good]

Windows XP is just too dated to use nowdays for anything serious.

Businesses use it purly cause it works and many computers use it only because they are dated like the OS. If you require an uptodate PC or are serious with PC gamming, you would arleady have vista or W7.

 

[Pyritie]

or are serious with PC gamming, you would arleady have vista

lol'd

 

[The Reborn Devil]

I don't have so much money :/

 

[crl]

it would be smart if you put it into a jar file (i've got a java.lang.NoClassDefException)

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Rofl.

 

[Dr Super Good]

All computers in my university in the computer science deparment are using vista, and probably 7 in the comming years.

People are just ignorant if they think there were major problems with them as my vista and W7 experience has had no faults what so ever. Yes I would not trust dated hardware with 7 or especially vista, but for anything new there is no reason not to get it (unless you are some strange linux or mac fan in which case you probably do not need a modern top range PC.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

... fascinating. Clearly everyone else must be wrong if they don't agree with you.

EDIT: Although W7 does look just fine.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Um, most people do not care, so I have no idea where this "everybody" comes from you so clearly reference. A lot of people are just ignorant or reject change so their opinions can be discarded.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Alright, there are better places for this sort of argument. Back on topic.
