Game - Jenga - 03/31/11 19:18

Hello,

Made a game without a real name

It's a small game (called as "Jenga") with PhysX
The gameplay is very "simple". Take or Push blocks and put them on top of the tower.

(Warning game has bugs)

Link to game: http://www.matudagames.com/Games/Blox
Link to download: Jenga Game

Small info on game control:
- Your most powerful controller - mouse
- Mouse middle for changing movement of block (push or move)
- Mouse left for camera rotate
- Mouse right for select and drop blocks
- Use "Submit score" button for uploading Your score

Some screens:

the clue of "jenga" is that the different bars have different friction.
some bars can easy removed some not.

Hi, try out this flat material for the wood-blocks:

Code:

MATERIAL* mtlFlat =

{

	effect = "

	technique flatShaded {

		pass p {

			ShadeMode = FLAT;

		}

	}

	";

}

This will make them look sharper, and not so round.

I whink I may call myself the worst Jenga player ever....
The game is nice, although it has some bugs as you already said,
as I could stil move blocks when the tower already collapsed.
Instead of applying the flat material, you could also bevel the edges of your blocks, which looks even better.
most modelling applications have this feature.
I didn't get the submit button to work.
I clicked it, and it did nothing.... except changing it's bitmap.

Thanks for suggestions. Will try to add all possible & fix bugs.

MrGuest & xxxxxxx : Reset button added.
mercuryus : Will try to add some difficulty to physic blocks
Roel : Will add different block styles and remake the submit button
Damocles_ : Somehow can't get the flat thing to work. (Used Your suggested MATERIAL (Result in picture))

"mercuryus : Will try to add some difficulty to physic blocks"

maybe you can set a random friction to each block.

Nice project so far - finish it please.

about the material:

this is what Flat does
it simply doesn't look good on flat surfaces, I tried once myself
You could either split the edges in a modelling tool,
or bevel the edges in a modelling tool.

Splitting the edgeswill give hard edges(just as in wed)
Bevelling the edges will give smooth edges:

Graphics are MUCH better. Well done! Though they look like marble/plastic now. Add a texture, maybe? Shading is great.

I would also change background/floor texture to fit the game.
Other than that, nice!
