Description:
Babylon 5:Sector 87 is an open source DirectX 8.0 project.
It is an asteroids clone in which you pilot the whitestar. The purpose
of this mission is available in the mpeg found on the download page.
Requirements
1) 1024x768 resolution in 16 bit color mode.
2) DirectX 8.1
3) Decent video card
Goal
My goal is to provide a solid OO based design for beginners to learn from.
Status
The current version is 1.0 (1/26/02).
Possible future enhancements
---------------------------------------------
1) Better explosions
2) Optimize code for better frame rates - possibly reduce
poly numbers on asteroids.
3) Implement 3D whitestar
4) Implement all code in an OO manner. Especially
GUI and all rendering.
5) Allow user to configure input and allow for joystick/mouse
support.
6) Allow user to configure resolution and other settings
based on their graphics card.
7) Put mission movie into game
a Babylon 5 single player game that will be similar to a top-view X-wing vs. Tie Fighter mission based game. Utilize friendly and enemy fleets for mission based battles. The goal is to create a few early missions and then allow anyone to create scenarios with custom graphics, models, ... Multiplayer functionality to be added later.
