Need testers for my little opengl game
It's not finished. Most of the game has been tested pretty well, however, I'm having trouble testing the network gameplay portion. I really just started working on the network part, and I suspect that there will be some race conditions that will mess things up. I can only run it on one of my machines at the moment, since one machine is a dinosaur with video card/opengl issues, and the other is being used for an experimental Linux distro that I am working on, and at the moment it only has kdrive xserver (no OpenGL). So, anybody that can test the network portions of my game would be a big help.
Also, I have released the source, so you can look at it if you want, but be warned that I wrote most of it in highschool, so its kinda sloppy. It's licensed under the beerware license. Here is the link: http://www.betteros.org/games/download.html |
It say: "package is of bad quality" when i attept to install

when i click ignore it fails to install. However my software center seems to be broken somehow. |

If you are determined to test it, you can try to compile it from source. It's quite easy, just: gcc ut1l.c -lGL -lGLU -lglut -DAUDIO -lalut -lopenal -o UntitledOne You can leave out the -DAUDIO part if you don't have openAL or if the sound is too annoying (its not done yet). |
~/Desktop$ ./UntitledOne
freeglut (./UntitledOne): glXCreateContextAttribsARB not found Maybe you should provide more detailled info about required dependencies or how to build and run the program, or a functional debian package. |
Just got back from Korean class, now I hopefully I can fix some of these issues.

The dependencies are: libGL libGLU FreeGLUT or GLUT or OpenGLUT (OpenGLUT is untested) Optional Audio Support: OpenAL libalut |
Ok, I uploaded a new .deb package, the files are now owned by root instead of prushik, so it should work.
I also added a list of dependencies on the webpage. I also changed the source package to a little tarball with a makefile and a pseudo-configure script. Although just compiling with gcc is still just as easy, ./configure && make is more familiar to many folks. http://www.betteros.org/games/download.html |
now i can't downlaod deb package, ita says 404 error not found.

Ok, just uploaded my updated source code. It should fix the glXCreateContextAttribsARB problem, and network play should also work.
Debian packages have been fixed again (hopefully). Changes: -missile sound has been changed to something less obnoxious -explosion sounds are in place, but they suck -network play connection fixes -added a (hopefully) more accurate method of measuring time (which can be compiled out by passing -DSLOPPYTIME to gcc) |
I get the same error again (glXCreateContextAttribsARB not found).
I have: GLX version: 1.4 OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 7.10.2 |

Nevermind... I checked my source again and I seem to have added the problem code back in... If you want to get it working, remove line 307 and recompile it and it should work. The line that says: Code:
glutInitContextVersion (3, 1); Sorry about that. |
I could run the game but it's very slow and keys are not working as expected.

However, I have not yet tested the new timing mechanism on more than one machine, so next time I will revert to the old timing mechanism. Where did you see speed as an issue? During solo gameplay, network gameplay, or in the menus? Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit? It's really not a very resource intensive game, speed shouldn't be an issue (except in network games). |
Something is wrong with keyboard mapping. You probably should fix that first.
