Dungeon Digger / News: Recent posts

The game runs with a menu now. You can either choose to play on the local server you will run, or on the test server arthy.org or type the address of another server.
The movements in the game has been modified, and you can use the keyboard now for that.
The cursor in the game area is now in 3D, it helps to locate. Be aware: you need the new data packet!

Good game, and don't connect too much on the test server: there are only 32 places. ;-)

The client now uses a thread to update the map, so the display is no longer slow down by the refresh.
The server updates more often, and there is a little beginning of fights.
The server could load a map from a file.

Hi,

We finally release a testing version as the windows binaries finally
work :-)

You have to download the binaries corresponding to your system as well
as the data files on the sourceforge download page :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=174129

If you use another system than Linux or Windows, you will have to get
the sources and try to compile. You will need some libraries :
- Opengl
- SDL
- SDL_image
- lua 5.1
- lib3ds... read more

The new tasker has been coded. Workers and Warriors are supposed to be more intelligent now. For example if there are several tasks to do, they don't do all the same thing.

Hi,

There are some news since the beginning. Now the rendering is in 3D (since a long time actually). We still have only lairs, treasure rooms and training rooms. The only buddies are still workers and warriors. Workers can dig, grab gold, convert cells and build rooms. Warriors can train and sleep.
The network begins to work: we can run a server, and several clients can connect to it. However, there is still nothing interesting to do actually: no fights except if you say the winner is the one who manage to convert all the enemy's cells :-).
It's on a good way, but we still have some work to do.... read more

Hi everyone,

Here it is, the project is now hosted on Sourceforge. We are about to upload the first verion on the CVS. So at this time what does already work actually ?
- Widgets: Windows, Buttons, EditBoxes, Labels
- Lua console: it is only useful to manage visual stuff like borderwidth, colors, etc. We still have some problems to update the impact of the variable value on the stuff that uses it. But that's not so important at this time, and could be fixed easily
- Text management: we can display text : wow ! :-)
- create some creatures : workers and warriors. It's mainly to test the implementation of interactions like digging, building, sleeping, training, etc.
- create rooms, etc.
- object creation: beds and train dummies already work. Objects usage is implemented too.... read more
