1. Game clones
The question of a Descent clone got me thinking, since Descent's texture
mapping on everything would be too hard to do in Euphoria effectivly, why
not start simple? Perhaps an X-Wing or TIE Fighter clone? (Or Wing
Commander, but I know more about the X-Wing series! ;)
All that would be needed for that is simple flat shaded polygon
starfighters. Then perhaps garaud shading could be added (rounds the
polygons so they don't look so square, or something like that)... and
texture mapping LAST. (Of course, the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter flight model
could be used... it's something like twice the turning rate on 1/3
throttle as 0 and full throttle.)
(Ok, I really like the X-Wing series of games... I figured a clone of
X-Wing wouldn't hurt.... Since building your own missions isn't possible
AFIAK with the CD version, and I've always wanted to create a large scale
battle for it just for fun.)
