It's taken ages just to get this far (object-wall collision test - crap physics in action!):

@3DzForMe what version of win7 are you using 32 or 64 bit?

You're probably not doing something like that but this really does look like a prototype for some kind of Pinball game?!?!?

No, but I can see why you might think that! My game (Bot Cave) involves various objects (projectiles, certain collectables etc.) bouncing off walls/surfaces or exploding on impact. I've spent (or wasted) a surprising amount of time trying to get this collision detection thing to work reliably (it still doesn't, but it'll have to do).

@3DzForMe this is a test release for windows 7 64bit for you to test

Not at home at the mo, however think I've clocked the issue......I'm 32 bit windows. Yeah I know, rubbish innit!

I almost certainly won't have anything to enter after all - mostly because of bad time management on my part, too far behind, and too sleep-deprived to code. Wishing the other participants well with their projects.

Aww a real shame.  Maybe the Christmas Competition then?!...Sleep is over rated anyway.   ;)

I'm with you there - I used up a fair old slice of last Saturday morning wrestling with B3D native collision detection - Have opted for using the x,y,z co-ords of different entities in my own function now.

If you've got the collision detection cracked (to a point - which is what I settled for in an asteroids thing I did a while ago) hopefully you'll have time to revisit it by the deadline.

Yeah, wish I could get by with a bit less!

Think we've got just under 4 weeks left on this competition and we've not seen that many games announced as yet. Regulars are being suspiciously quiet - or just aren't playing this time?

Hoping to see a compo that will beat the 11 entries we had last time. Come on people, tell us if you're partaking so we get an idea of how many games we might see this time round.

I won't enter: no free weekend the next month. 2 birthday parties this weekend, next weekend is wife and first son (two parties - big family ;)), week after I am "planned" to help brother with the house, the week later mother in law's birthday and so on ...

Enough of the excuses. Will try to take part in the next one and use my now "free" sparetime to bugfix my other projects.


bye

I would like to propose that if a competition has less than a certain number of entrants (lets, for arguments sake...... say 6) then......

As long as the current entrants have no objections - Qube has it within his power to extend the competition by 10 to 21 days.

As Mrs Doyle would say...... [edit - found it]



or, if you need more encouragement.... ;)

I disagree. It's the deadlines that give me focus to get on with it and complete the thing. if we break the cardinal rule on deadline day is deadline day then where do we end up? Making up the rules as a we go along. Rules are there for a reason and I think for these compo's the sponsors decision should be final.
