I've entered the #7drl challenge. (Operation Roboid)

[Nickenstein79]

The 7-Day Roguelike challenge, is errrrm, a challenge to make a RogueLike game in 7 days.

I'm making an Ogre-based game, and so I decided to enter into the challenge in order to force myself to add some much needed gameplay to my game under a tight deadline.

Operation Roboid!




I entered a few days late, but I'm hanging in there.

Watch in HiDef if you can.

Here's my first vid, from when I started on Monday. (The challenge actually began on the Saturday prior.) :

And here is Today's progress:

Still, I have two days left to add some extra features.

Exactly. Awesome shader skills. I'd love some more info on what you're using for GUI and other stuff.

Amazing you did all that in so little time. Procedural levels FTW!

Thanks for the encouragement, guys!

It's the last day! EEP!

I spent all yesterday writing RogueLike room/dungeon generation code. So today I need to plumb that into the 3D world, add a bit more AI and then I'll be uploading my work.

@Mind_Calamity (nice name, btw)

For the GUI I am using a version of Moraldo's Ogre-SpriteManager-2D that I have modified to handle some extra blend operations, and some vertex interpolation code I added for a few 2D sprite animation effects. My GUI code is a horrible mess to be honest.
(Moraldo's original here : http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... eManager2d)

However: I will probably switch to using Crazy-Eddie's system when I find the time to plumb in all the required libs/dependencies, etc. What I currently have conflicts hugely with Ogre's post-process-filters (and I'd quite like to code some funky filter effects soonish). Also my GUI/sprite code is screwing with Ogre's shadow buffers, but I just haven't had the time to track down the cause of that problem yet.

I've just done a post about my expirements in procedural map/dungeon generation during the 7Day RogueLike - http://7drl.org/2013/03/17/4903/

#7drl is finished.

Here is what I ended up with - http://7drl.org/2013/03/18/operation-ro ... n-success/

Definitely a success if you ask me, it's an amazing feat to achieve in 7 (well 5, in your case) days.

Congratulations! I was also wondering if you released somewhere, and I just missed it.

That looks really cool.

How did you achieve the robots consisting of parts?
"Just" attached the player-defined blocks to an existing skeleton?
