Rise of the Turkey

Here’s the little game we made in about 4 weeks for a class project called Rise of the Turkey.



http://code.google.com/p/imgd4000/



It is a multiplayer game with all kinds of cool stuff. the environemnt is done using my Environment System which i will release very soon to the community.



The networking is done using awesome JGN. thx frog  :wink:



and try it out  :smiley:

Server (edit: client too) webstart fails with me:

Which is weird cause that URL seems to work just fine…

Hope it's some kind of weird problem with my webstart or something.

No mention of jME?

and i dont know what the problem is. coz we have tested with alot of players from all different machines. and they all worked fine...

Yeah like I said, very weird. Probably something on my end then.

just download the jar and run from command line  :D

Nice work. :slight_smile:



Major flaw I saw was that the Java processes never terminate when the application ends.

Nice work. :)

yup, and that only happens if u run from webstart which we have no idea y that happens.

i also just made the server run from jar instead of using webstart jnlp.



for some reason, when using webstart, the server dies sometime…

Nice work…



Some crits (don’t take it bad)

The controls are not exactly intuitive, and I have not yet been able to absorb anything… and so, I run out of clouds before reaching the end…  :’(

I would have to agree…strafe instead of rotate would be good for A and D keys…that would help a lot…then the Turkey could dodge bullets in "Revenge of the Turkey"…you are planning on making a sequel, right? :wink:

the camera part definitely needs some work. but we didnt have enough time, so we just used the jme chase camera.

yeah, the controls r kind off too, but again, we only had about 4 weeks to make this game

yeah sure... y not  :D

Pretty cool! I agree to the comments made so far regarding the controls though. Also enjoyed reading your post mortem :slight_smile:



So, project finished eh. Does this mean you'll have time for other projects? :stuck_out_tongue:
