Just a simple demo of spaceship physics.

Availible at http://avinash.apeshell.net/stuff/?dir=./ship/ or directly at http://avinash.apeshell.net/stuff/ship/flyaround.rar.

View the readme.txt file for some important info.

It uses FMOD for sound, but the source is made with conditional compilation in mind, so in the readme it will tell you how to easily compile with nosound.

Compiled with fB 0.12b.

To AetherFox:

From your flyaround demo that you just presented here, what I see interestingly is a *truly* good start to show users how to build an Asteroids-based game in FB. And also, the music here is pretty cool, too! Overall, I liked it, man! =b

Very good job, AetherFox, and be seeing you later!

P.S. AetherFox, from your second link on your post (not your sig) in this thread, when I first clicked it, it caused a “Page Cannot be Displayed” error. But, when I removed the period mark ( . ) at the end of that link there, a full .RAR copy of your demo was instantly ready to be downloaded at last! Just wanted to let you know that, man.

Pretty cool.

I changed the Sleep(0) to Sleep(1) in the main loop, and that brought CPU usage down to 0% from 100%. But it still ran just as well.

For a minute, I thought this was a 3D space ship fly around demo.

Sterling: Cheers for the tip, I'll have that on the next update of this.

AAP: Thanks, but I'm still not sure if this is going to be an asteroids-style game...I may change it to make it scrolling or something...

Smoth and fast...nice work!

:x ".rar",.. Life sucks... *walks away*

I'll upload ZIP. Get WinRAR, n00b

:lol: Nevermind, I got something that should do it ^_^

noob? no, take the fact my comp sucks, has little to nothing great and powerful on it,. not even sound as thats fried.... and a boat load of problems to boot.... you name it(problems), I've had or have it.. :wink:

Yeah, get WinRAR, it is superior to ZIP. Just like the old Betamax vs VHS. The most common version won the battle, despite being inferior quality
