Math-Attack game for my kids

Hmm, don’t think I’ve heard of Lemur or Zay-ES? Unless Lemur was your gui you posted in the other thread???

Lemur is my UI toolkit. Zay-ES is my open source entity system. Forum search is your friend there. Or just go to the simsilica site.

Now that I saw the video I realize it’s all 2D from what I see…??? So did you use JME with just 2d textures moving up and down? It seems that the “space” looks like it extends in a 3rd dimension, but maybe I’m wrong?

It’s all 2D. The star field is multiple layers that move at different rates.

@KonradZuse

Also, It looks like the space ships move slow enough, but I find clicking the space ship, and then entering the number to be a “hassle” imo… Is it possible to use a tiny bit of real-estate on the side to have a calculator that you could enter the number, and then click the space ship to destroy it?

I mean, in the end it’s personal preference, but I find that approach too far disconnects the problem from the answer. I tired to design it so it could even work with a touch screen as I may try porting it to Android someday.

You mention “Mythruna” a lot, is that a JME project

Mythruna is my commercial project. http://mythruna.com/ It just hasn’t gotten much love lately.

I may swing back and cleanup Math Attack to open source it. I don’t really have time to make it presentable right now, though most of the code is pretty clean.

Edit: actually I’ll save you some other clicking: Open Source Tools - Simsilica, LLCSimsilica, LLC

by the way… sim silica…?

Simsilica = simulated sand. silica = sand I make sandbox games or that was the idea.

Make up a name. Check google to see if it exists. Instant SEO.

Edit: any in case it wasn’t clear, the Simsilica logo is some silicon dioxide molecules.
