JAVAsteroids

Just tried the current version on our schools computers Weston.

Unable to enumerate pixel formats of window using wglGetPixelFormatAttribivARB: 127

Isn’t that the problem that you only get on Intel cards? I thought these computers had nvidia cards in them.

Also, how do you guys read JAVAsteroids? Do you read it like Java-Steroids, or Jav-Asteroids?

Nope, all but a few of them have Intel cards. The ones that have nvidia cards were upgraded so they would run 3D studio max (and they are only in one lab, its in the admin building). And even with the upgrade, they are only GeForce2 32meg cards :frowning:

No comment on the pronunciation :-X

edit: I just tried it on another one of the school’s computers and it ran. Due to their security restrictions it isn’t easy to find out about the hardware, but I saw this while looking at System Information: RADEON 7000 / RADEON VE (Microsoft Corporation). The computers I have tried in other labs I was able to check the graphics card from display properties and they all had Intel cards.

Works just fine on an nVidia Ti4200.
Great asteroids clone!

I’ve always read it Jav-Asteroids. If the S were capitalized, it’d look like Java Steroids but since the S isn’t capitalized I don’t think it can be read to be a separate word in the title.

Awesome game. How about multiplayer?

  • coop (that would be the most appropriated mode)
  • deathmatch

Maybe even via internet in one big universe like SharpShooter Arena ?

Then also different types of ships would be cool (should be equally dangerous but as different as possible).

Just my two cents.

multiplayer would be cool, but this project is very dead :slight_smile: thanks for the comment though.

sorry dude i have a remark…it’s nothing bad though but you lost one beta tester :slight_smile:

it goes straight into fullscreen. I am at work and cannot allow myself that kind of freedom if you know what i mean?!

Peace out…

p.s. i am making a game too, based on asteroids. It’s got a kick to it since my openGL is not that great yet. You should check it out. It’s up on www.javagamesfactory.org the name is CroAsteroids. There are other interesting games there too.

yeah I guess that could be sort of annoying… the game was only made for opengl practice though, my first opengl app :slight_smile:

I know about javagamesfactory.org I even have a game on there, Fatman in Strangeland. I was thinking of fixing up my asteroids and sticking it on there but I’m sort of not coding right now so if I do it will be later.
