I can supply you with stuff to draw if you don't mind doing concept art for my game.

The PTMC forum has been marked as 'weighted phrase limit exceeded' on our school network.

On a practical note (if you made a real heli like that) the center of mass is too far ahead of the main rotor. It would have an amazing tendancy to tip over forwards.
If you moved the rotor pylonn to over the 'wings' it would be a lot more realistic.

From the modelling side, it's looking good.

Amazing work there.

Does that type of tree grow natively down here? If so, I want one....

I really like this. Maybe on the second one a bit of the "glow" on the bottom of the tree trunk, like the first one.

@Everyone Well that's provided me with a good half-hours reading right there. Thanks guys. Let me summarise what you're saying: 1) You can plan things, and it is probably a good idea, but sometimes it's OK just to build from scratch. 2) Put enemy placements in logical areas, but don't make it monoto...

Work on DEEP Space is reaching an interesting stage, where coding is slowly giving way to modelling and level-creation. As part of this I'm having to spend some time making levels. I have issues planning and developing these levels, so I thought I'd ask some of the experts over here. So, a few quest...

Having the same problems as me, level design for 6DOF maps (I found this game on a concept-art/level-designer page)

Yeah, oops about teh binary.
You're right about the tally chart, you need some number to tell how long it is.

sdfgeoff

Decimal is base 10, and goes from 0 to 9
Octal is base 8, and goes from 0 to 7
Binary is base 2, and goes from 1 to 2
A tally chart is base 1, and you have as longer string as number you have
But what is base 0? Infinities?

The last 14 minutes will kill me. I have a new image to put here, along a similar lines to the "error executing executable files" popup. This time though, it is a time prediction of, well, 178 years: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17630723/Years.jpg Seeing as it's done 8% it would seem that I've...

Well, after the name-change I decided to abandon the old website. However, I hadn't built a new one yet, so here is the new project website:

I'm not ADD, but find it funny how the symptoms apply:

Takes Shortcuts
Reluctance to commit
Work best under pressure

That sounds like every college student to me.

I wrote a newtons gravitational law simulator recently, and you'll be pleased to know that planets could collide slowly. Or in my case, a planets moons together.
I have yet to get two moons to orbit each other and the planet, but it should be possible.

I'm wondering what the demand would be for a super-simple 6DOF game Strip it down to the basics: 1v1 online anarchy multi-player (manual IP guff) (no single or co-op) Only one weapon Only one tiny level Full 6DOF with configurable keys only control Only one Energy bar used for shield and weapon that...

Thought of a better way to describe it:
3x 2 axis joysticks.

And yes, I forgot to mention mouse-flying.

I haven't yet figured out the best controller for descent-like games (ie retrovirus, descent, DEEP Space, Forsaken etc) My reasoning is this: 1) Keys give a rough movement, making it harder to aim. While I have grown used to this I still do find it a little annoying 2) Joysticks never have enough bu...

Hey, it's my house.....
I like the sky and clouds, but to me the edge of the sun is too sharp/in-focus.

Great Job

Sergeant Thorne, you mention: Oh man... menacing, high-detail, shiny, and complex... I disagree with complex, at least for levels. I discovered, while making levels for DEEP Space (my descent clone), that if you give too much detail (ie pipes and things) to a level, then it becomes hard to navigate ...

Had some fun with a friend on Wednesday. He happens to own a 500-scale helicopter, which is about a meter rotor diameter, with about a 250gram payload (without battery counting as payload) So, we hoisted up: 1) A video transmitter. This was OK, but the screen I took along wasn't bright enough to be ...

The HUD seems to be what is done in Blender3D already. Hit a button, type the function you want, hit enter. I do agree that it is much better than searching through endless menu's.
Can you tell me it's approx memory usage with nothing open (ie, booted and logged on)?

Jump 2 left, 4 forwards
Activate hyperdrive.

And wouldn't it be:

+

Because if it was:

^2
(X^2)
then the progression of numbers would be:
0000000
or maybe
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
possibly
-1,1,1,1,1,1,1
or
-2, 4, 16...

It would be impossible for the mods to win if it was squared.

Ahh, you're right.
