Fear , My first Game

Below is a video of my first game in first year in computer engineering , i made it using c++ and panda3d game engine http://panda3d.org/ .

i made an OOP design of the game and then used the engine and c++ for the graphics part ,

actually it took me a hell of a time and effort to just link the engine as it was made primarily to be used with Python and its support for c++ wasn`t good.

The models of the game was taken from a gallery that i downloaded from the engine website and also a game that was made by mit students.

i recommend anyone who wants to use this engine to program in python not c++ because even i didn`t use collision detection functions supplied with the engine because of the lack of documentation for the c++ and also for my little experiment with code and games , but i managed to make a simple collision detection algorithm and use it.

Finally it`s a gr8 engine if u exploited its functions. Also i saw irrlicht and OGRE which i think is gr8 too .

hope this article help anyone wanna start game programming using game engines and waiting for ur comments and responses.

*I used a version of panda3d that is a year old from current date so they may have made enhancement to the documentation of c++. i hope so :)

Introducing myself ....

hi everyone ,

Live from Egypt Wael Mahmoud is blogging and welcomes you into the tech jam , this is my first blog and my first place on the net that holds information about what i do , the blog will be mainly about computers,coding,Cutting edge technologies, hardware, software and maybe get out of the box sometimes to share some opinions with people outside the tech bubble.

Hoping everyone find this blog helpfull and interesting and most important enjoy their time in it as their own place to share thoughts , i am still learning and always be so if i made mistakes ,please comment and tell me what`s right and we all will be more than grateful for you.
