TO DO

[Justin Leighton]

this is a beta virtual reality sim. the walk and ai (npc) characters work in 6.1.5. it is using a 64 object main gameplay / character array

[Justin Leighton]

compiler-devc++ 32 bit debug mode. copy the included libs and inc to your dev orwell folder...compile...you need toi set the linker options to irrlicht.h etc

[Justin Leighton]

linker opt

lib/Win32-gcc/libIrrlicht.a

[Justin Leighton]

libirrlicht handles rendering of opengl based milkshape objects. milkshape supports skeletal animation and lots of object import. this is a good game or sim skeleton.

[Justin Leighton]

tested on win xp thru win 7 64 bit

[Justin Leighton]

version 6.1.6 working
-added object and character system
-primitive npc walking system based on angle. believable human walk achieved
-can "destroy" objects with laser. proximity based, no aiming
-changed 1-2 zoom rate to dev mode. this will be too fast on nice computers.

next goals
-efficient traingle selector. write collision generator function for imported objects
-add counter based random walk and speech to npc, 3 npcs in scene believably
-add polygonal animation to scene objects
-a few lightweight vegetation and rock objects for better looks. mesh based deform for wind, local translation etc
-script based scene generator / player. some system of having scriptable and generative scenes overlap
-wiki based system for tracking game progress and changes with new devs.
-web based texture pack upgrading. perhaps a small c++ app in the media/tex folder. wget microbrowser could work
-addition of animated textures inside the irrlicht engine or use gl commands
-a couple of new void fnctions for collision, animate texture, mesh deform, etc. location and proximity based
-npc talking system with fact list, thoughtlist, and relation list. generative talking that is realistic, perhaps most challenging
-mocap data based template animator. morph mocap data to different species and characters for believable and intersting scene generation,. ie gesticulation , wave hands. perhaps a dual skeletal mapping function over a base human
