(11-35,Dave Dillow) <g>
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Hi Randy!
(11-13,Lary Myers) Hi Randy
(11-7,Randy @ Safari) Hi all.. are we all re-rehacked out?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Naaah, never!
(11-35,Dave Dillow) Not here....
(11-7,Randy @ Safari) Bob -> ;-) Are we still on the rehack subj?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Wait till I tell them we're gonna do it in windows... <g> just...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) kidding
(11-13,Lary Myers) I don windows!
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Randy ... any topic is up for discussion, now
(11-35,Dave Dillow) That would be interesing, if not slow...
(11-35,Dave Dillow) I've always wanted to do a Windows game..
(11-35,Dave Dillow) <g>
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Interesting maybe!
(11-35,Dave Dillow) Difficult- yes!<G>
(11-35,Dave Dillow) Guys- gotta run- I'll D/L the files tomorrow..
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Ok Dave.
(11-13,Lary Myers) By Dave
(11-13,Lary Myers) Gotta go folks, X4+ is calling my name.
(11-7,Randy @ Safari) See ya Lary!
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Lary - talked to ya later!
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) er talk to you later
(11-13,Lary Myers) Bye all
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Hi Randy, how's it goin?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) Trying to figure out how to do this stuff.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Conference?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) Did y'all have a good discussion?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) On Rehack?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) Yes. I was hoping that something might still be going on.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) No, tonight we mainly answered questions from newcomers etc.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Interested in getting in it?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) Yea, but I am an amateur gaming compared to most of you. I have done a Tetris like game and a game that looks similar to asteroids.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Randy - I've seen your messages etc, I think you could handle it no...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) problem.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) What language do you normally code in.
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I use BCPP. Though I recently took over some code for a flight simulator that was written in Microsoft C.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Well, we'll be coding in C++ using BCPP.
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I am beginning to use Visual C++ also.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) So, where does your interest in games lie Randy? What part of...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Rehack are you interested in?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I have a big interest in the 3D engine. We also do Virtual Reality research. We are trying to find out whether a 3D VR world is a
(11-17,Randy Morlen) better training platform that a 2D screen.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Hiya Dan!
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Randy - you might want to help Lary out on his project then.
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I am interested in the underlying structures in game design.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Dan - how goes it?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Randy - well, I'm going to upload two files, RHAPP.TXT and...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) RHSUGG.TXT...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) one is an information for for Rehack, the other a suggested reading...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) list fromt he lib.
(11-17,Randy Morlen) It seems to me that alot of the graphics is the easy part. The hard part is coming up with a solid idea and then
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Randy - yeah that's true.
(11-9,Dan C) Rehacking again? :)
(11-17,Randy Morlen) figuring out the structures of the game
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Dan - yeah!
(11-17,Randy Morlen) Have you thought of a Windows version of Rehack? It seems that this is underutilized territory.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Seems to be, I mean to keep it going and finish it, evenif I have to...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) do it myself.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Randy - I'd love to, but not many game programmers are interested in...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Windows.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Maybe after it's finished we'll convert it.
(11-9,Dan C) Any thing carried over from the last Rehack idea bowl?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Yeah, everything.
(11-9,Dan C) The multi-player thing?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Hmmm, no, not _that_.
(11-9,Dan C) Hmm.. is it going to be 3/4 overhead view?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) When I first started accessing CIS (about 1-1/2 years ago) it was to get an idea on how tile games worked. It seemed as though
(11-17,Randy Morlen) Rehack fit the bill... then it went away.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Yeah, possibly 3D in a later release.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Using Lary's engine
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Ala Wolf.
(11-9,Dan C) Will this be for a 386 or a 486? :)
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Pentium required
(11-9,Dan C) I assume you know C++, Randy..
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I have done some C++. I am not an expert.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Dan's pretty good at it, for someone who doesn't consider himself a...
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) programmer!
(11-9,Dan C) How would you know, Bob?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) I can tell?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) Maybe I will put it on my wish list for next fiscal year.
(11-9,Dan C) <smack>
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) <ducking>... sorry Randy
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I'm kind of hard headed at times anyway.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) So are you gonna Rehack too, or what?
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I will do what I can.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) I was talking to Dan, but thanks Randy.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) RHAPP.TXT and RHSUGG.TXT
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Don't forget
(11-9,Dan C) Me? Well, I'm strictly mode 'x' + tiles these days!
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) We could go X, and stay tiled
(11-9,Dan C) Although, I think my 'engine' (well half an engine, anyway) would work great with rehack.
(11-17,Randy Morlen) I will talk at you all later. Take care.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Bye Randy!
(11-9,Dan C) bye randy.
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Is it proprietary Dan?
(11-9,Dan C) You mean, would I show the code to anybody? No way!<g> I guess that wouldn't work with that project, though!
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Dan C - thats what I meant, OK.
(11-24,Flying Gerbil) Hi, all
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Hi Gerb!
(11-24,Flying Gerbil) Is it true REHACK is coming back?
(11-9,Dan C) You guys do need source code, don't you? Well, sorry, but my code is the fastest scrolling code I've ever seen, and I'm not about
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Yep sure is, you're an original aren't you?
(11-9,Dan C) to let someone take that from me!
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Ok Dan, be that way <g>.
(11-24,Flying Gerbil) Bob, yes, I am. Any room in the team for me?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) Definitely!
(11-9,Dan C) Well, not until I get my first game out, at least (or at least a demo)
(11-24,Flying Gerbil) Bob, glad to hear it! I'll be around in the next couple of days
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) I'm gonna post a few files, suggested reading RHSUGG.TXT... much of...
(11-24,Flying Gerbil) See y'all later (running at 2400 baud, eek)
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) which you;ve already read, and RHAPP.TXT, information file
(11-9,Dan C) Ok, guys, I gotta be going (can't let my bill go too high), so see yas later?
(11-28,Bob P/GD SL) for filling out and sending to me.
