Aliens invade the planet! With their superior laser weapons it should be easy to enslave humanity, is it? ... Not if they fight against mirrors!
Hi fellow game makers!
I'm working on a little game where you can reflect laser shots back to the attacker.
Some other participants had the same idea, but I didn't want to change it. I use the game jam as a reason to build a little game engine by myself to learn more about the inside mechanics. I use the LWJGL to get access to OpenGL from Java. Also, I started to learn Blender and made the terrain, the helicopter and the lighthouse with it.
Until now I added the following:
- OBJ file loader
- phong shading
- specular maps
- shadow mapping (soft shadows)
- collision detection (including the laser reflection implementation)
- 2D mouse coords to 3D ray
Unfortunately, I will not finish the game until the deadline, but I learned a lot!
