Hi there,

I'm working on a little RPG a.t.m. The game holds no content within itself, it's in scripts that you create in notepad. I just finished the basics of the UI, so I recorded a little video, here : http://youtube.com/watch?v=fqBwQeUwfZ4

Greetings

Pontus

p.s.: It's far from completed.

Very interesting, Which graphics engine are you using?

Keep up the work and it should be really cool.

Thanks, b.t.w., I'm not using any engine, I'm using the SDL API.

Pretty nice project, I'm impressed, especially for your age!

I wish I could've got into programming earlier...

Good project!

How long did it take you to get the UI up and running?

About 1 day for the UI itself and 2 days to implement it into the script engine.

I've been working for the last 4 days trying to understand how to get stuff up on my UI with SDL...(still banging head on wall)...and 13 y/o can do it in a day. Guess this goes to show that game programming wanna-be's should start as early to birth as possible biggrin.gif

Regardless, I am still impressed icon_up.gif icon_up.gif

Thanks, but I doubt anyone would wanna help with VB.NET projects biggrin.gif.

Due to my redneck of understanding C++, I have to do just about everything in VB, then try to port it over to C++...it makes it easier for me to comprehend since VB.NET is the only language I have ever used. This has worked for my tetris and pacman clones I have made.

I have found 1 great source example of a 2D tile game in VB.NET, but I have been racking my brain as to why the map moves, and not the sprite...since the source is really choppy, I am going to need to start from scratch confused.gif
