Hey,

I'm currently develop Shadowshot, a 2D Shoot 'Em Up game, for the Delta Engine.

Features

  • level system
  • collectable items
  • weapon system
  • online highscore


Gameplay
The goal is simple: destroy as many asteroids as you can in 2:30 minutes (can be increased / decreased by collecting the corresponding items) and try to reach a new highscore, without losing all lives (the player starts with three lives). A life can be lost in two ways: First, if the player collides with an asteroid. Second, if the player collects a "remove life" item.

I have implemented collectable items that occasionally spawn and either have a positive or negative effect.

Positive Items:

  • Increase Score
  • Increase Time
  • Add Life
  • Upgrade Weapon (maximum level: 3)

Negative Items:

  • Decrease Score
  • Decrease Time
  • Remove Life

A rudimentary level system that increases the asteroids' speed every few seconds is also implemented.

The most important feature is, undoubtably, the online-highscore. After you have finished a round, you can upload your score. It's also possible to see the ten highest scores ever achieved by the players.

Cool, looks great. Can we include in our sample games?

We have actually created a site for Projects for others to share their creations (with or without source code, it is up to you): http://deltaengine.net/Gallery

Great idea! I will create such a project page, as soon as I have released Shadowshot.

Hey,

Finally, I have managed it to finish the first version of Shadowshot! (and yes I know, it took a hell lot more time as I promised Sad - sorry for that).

I have ported Shadowshot to the most recent version of the Delta Engine. And in fact, I have completely rewritten the code with help of test driven development.

Unfortunately, the complete "menu system" is missing simply because Delta Engine doesn't provide such functionality yet (please correct me, if I'm wrong). Also I haven't activated the HUD yet, because font rendering is missing, too (again correct me, if I'm wrong). So, the remaining time, the score and lives are displayed as the window's title. I will definitively implement both thinks as soon as Delta Engine provides the needed functionality. I have also disabled the online highscores, because it doesn't make much sense without corresponding scenes to display the high scores.

Download: Shadowshot v0.1

Shoot: Space

Now, I have a question for you: Should I release the source code of the current version or should I publish it, when everything is implemented? It's your choice. Smile

So long,
Marc

Hi Marc,

nice to hear that you finally managed to finish your game Smile .

Regarding your question about the source code, as more soon you release your source code as more soon we can add your game to our samples Wink .

Cheers
Enrico

PS: We currently working on UI and Scenes to support things like a menu system.

Hi Old Sparky,

Unfortunately there is no source code for the ShadowShot game in /DeltaEngine/Samples in github..Sad Did you forget to push the source code into Github ?? Can you please check once again at your end whether you pushed it correctly or was there some issue while pushing the source code ? Smile

Cheers,
Viv

Hey,

I have updated Shadowshot to Delta Engine v0.9.8.1 Smile

In the progress, I have activated the HUD, due to the fact that Delta Engine supports font rendering again since version v0.9.8.0.

Furthermore, I have rethought the asteroid spawning system, because the first version was quite ridiculous. Instead of permanently spawning asteroids, only new asteroids are spawned if they are really needed (60 asteroids are permanently active, even though not all are visible). I have also changed the way asteroids are treated, when they're actually moving "out of the scene". If this is the case the asteroid in question is no longer deleted, it is just moved to the top of the screen. An asteroid is only deleted, if it collides with the player or a projectile.

Download: Shadowshot v.0.2 Source Code
Download: Shadowshot v.0.2 Binaries

So long,
Marc
