This is the Shoot-em-up or Violent games Construction Kit (VGC) page.
So far I am at Version 0.06 or the editor and Version 0.03 of the game,
having scrapped all my work before I started 5 weeks ago. It has gone
quite far though - the editor has the following features now;
(a) Graphical editing system (GES) like TP 6 IDE except in graphics mode.
(b) Top menu bar with working pull down menus (mouse only at the moment).
(c) basic windows added - sprite window displays, palette window displays.
(d) File|Quit option works (Yippee!).
(e) Games run from editor menus, but do nothing - simply wait for escape
key press.
(f) Window environment is completely portable between graphics modes -
fully object oriented.
(g) Many basic objects done. Some things almost useable.
(h) Windows are able to be resized and moved.
(i) Preferences object will allow setup of everything to be modified and
saved, including full editor current desktop. This means, just like TP,
when you exit the editor, it saves all of the windows current positions and
states.
***** Version 0.06 is now complete ! *****
Download it now ! It has a background, loads and saves all images and maps,
even the game section has a simple but buggy scroller (use the arrow keys).
Everything is much nicer now ! Get it while it's hot.
