1. Just For Fun - OpenGL goodness.

Hey Fellow Euphoria-ites.
I have been working the last year on my homespun OpenGL game engine Zapox (Zombie Apox). The game engine is now to the point I want to test it out on other machines for performance/optimization. Now its not quite a game yet, but most of the foundation work is done to start working on the game content. In short, don't expect anything too exciting but I am fairly proud of the capabilities so far.
Anyway, if you wouldn't mind giving it a run and sending me some test files I would be highly appreciative.
Game Engine Features:
•Full color picking for selecting and manipulating 3D objects.
•Multiple Custom Shaders (Fragment and Vertex)
•A* Pathfinding
•Full screen anti-aliasing and Mipmapping.
•Collision Detection
•Tile Mapping
•Animation via MD2s.
•Built ground up with OpenGL 3.0 + SDL for windowing.
•On the fly text generation using a character atlas.
•Model loading using both ASSIMP as well as home grown implementation (MD2 & 3DX).
•Fully functioning (time stabilized) game loop utilizing state codes.
•Rudimentary AI Scheme.
•Flexible Camera and Rendering Pipe implementation.
If you want to give it a try and help me out you can download it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/v71n1w713va8zn9/zapox.exe
Also, posted on the RDS archives.
Once you play around with it for a while I would appreciate if you could send the following files to me: info.txt log.txt crash.txt
There is a README file in the game folder once you extract it. The game engine is Windows only atm, though nothing prevents it from being portable with a bit of work. I plan to work on that once I get the engine finished.
Send to ssallen(AT)gmail.com.
Any other feedback is also highly appreciated! Steve A.

Don't host or download stuff from Mediafire; its not safe

Fair enough, what is a safe file hosting site?

Theres the Eu archives, if thats still works; as far as filesharing hosts, there aren't many left that aren't either shut down or sponsored by malware installs (the EXE you upload is randomly swapped for a virus on some % of downloads).
Actually, is there a reason its a .EXE in the first place? Why not just post it in source form?

Huh, good to know. I'll see if I can figure something else out.

The exe is a self extracting 7zip archive. The archive contains both an exe and the source code.
Its now posted to the RDS archives as well.
Thanks!

It would probably be better in the future to just post the .7z file (less risk of viruses and smaller too)

No real argument here, just saying, fyi, that self extracting (7zip) archives are just as safe as zip files *if* you use 7zip to extract them.

"there aren't many left that aren't either shut down"
That is not true. http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/best-cloud-storage-dropbox-vs-skydrive-vs-google-drive-vs-icloud-1120024

The file sharing sites have INCREASED exponentially in the last 2-3 years. I have used Box.net, now box.com for the past 4 years without any problem whatsoever. Dropbox is more popular.
Somehthing more - Dropbox is the preferred cloud storage and sharing solution for Cisco employees worldwide.
