"Astro Miner" is a game based on the old "Asteroids" game, but with quite a bit of extra stuff added in. It is a "mini-game" for Windows -- presented on a Windows form with a 500x500 playing area.

This entry was written in 1 week's time. While it doesn't use a formal Nimble2D framework, it makes use of some of the concepts. (Warning: The code is horrible ... but the end product is what I was after.)

System Requirements: Windows OS with .Net Framework 2.0 and a minimum CPU of 1 Ghz. (Graphics card doesn't matter because the game uses the Windows GDI for drawing.)

Enjoy!

"Air Rally Ace" Tech Demo Install File

MattWorden — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:55:21 GMT

This is the installation file for a tech demo of the "air race" portion of "Air Rally Ace", which is an airplane racing game that I was working on. (The project is on indefinite pause at this point.)

I want to get Nimble2D into position to be able to deliver similiar style of gameplay and effects (pay attention to the colored smoke and explosion/particle effects).

System Requirements: Win2000/XP, DirectX 8.1 (or later), a graphics card that can handle DirectX8 games, CPU of P3/500 or better.

"QuickTrig" Class -- A 2D trig helper class

The ZIP file contains the class' source code file, plus a read-me with licensing, usage, and support information. This class assumes that angles will be in degrees, with 0 degrees pointing "up" and values increasing in the clockwise direction. It can be "plugged-in" to any 2D game code that wants to use that degrees-based approach, no matter what rendering engine is used.
