At first I was thinking of having like 6 prescaled sprites for each asteroid. But I actually like the idea of on the fly scaling. I'll have to see how fast I can get it. The only problem with storing every possible sprite is that I'm kind of running out of ram. But if it runs really slow, that's what I'll have to do.

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Aah right, RAM might be a problem. I think you would need to only store the ones needed for the level to not use too much RAM.

@SirCmpwn Here's how it works. You have three options for polygons, light, dark and black. Then you make a list of vertices. Then you make a list of polygons that use those vertices. It's not very complex.

Yep, that's what indicies are (I do Xbox 360/PC 3D game programming).  Early 3D methods used lines, and each vertex would end up being re-used >9000 times.

From what I saw on IRC he is focusing on The Impossible Game and a few other projects first and Starfox isn't really a priority. I hope he doesn't ditch it, though, because people have been looking forward for a Starfox game for ages on calcs. Maybe he could release the source if he cancels it?

For now it's on hold. I haven't really had any motivation to make it better. It was cool when it was ground breaking, but now it is just graphics with no game play.

I hope this can eventually be resolved. Would adding many ships slow it down considerably?

Me too, I hope he doesn't drop the project. In any case, he should release the source maybe.

If the source is what you want, then it's the source you shall get.

And to answer your question DJ, adding a ton of ships would slow it down, but I would assume it can handle 5 without too much difficulty.

Ah ok. Well hopefully if you don't continue it someone could continue. If it officially gets cancelled (which I don't hope D:) I wonder if it should be put in the download section under programming tools? It is not really a programming tool but still some sort of engine to create a 3D shooter.

lol, you notice it after it gets taken of the Major projects list.  Although it stopped being active ever since it was put on here IIRC.  :P

well, at least it's triangle and quadrilateral drawing routines (which are pure works of genius, btw) are still being put to good use -- I'm using them in Z80GL with permission of Brian Coventry (he sent me the entire starfox source 2 months ago and said I can do whatever I want with it)

would you imagine the source is 100K, and over 2500 lines of pure code? (for starfox) O.O

I would believe that, given his reputation.  :P
