walter_J64bit Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Can the Lynx pull off a first person shooter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 You're going to have to be a lot more specific than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 It did. Or do you think Battlezone 2000 doesn't count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedenLynxer Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yes, I guess Battlezone 2000 and CyberVirus would be the closest u can come to a "first person shooter" on the Lynx. Lucien Kleijkers created a nice 3D demo. Hopefully it will turn in to a game someday. I dont know if he still is working on that project?? Also SIMIS has a 3D demo.

JagFan422 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 also you can play the Alien vs predator rom. It's a bit stripped down, but it gives you a pretty good idea what could've been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very late reply, but no unfortunately I haven't been working on the 3D demo anymore. Just too much work (at least at this time). That said I'm sure it could turn into a real 3d FPS but it has to be mostly assembler to pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Any chance Lucien, since your not planning on working on this anytime soon, you would release the demo so the rest of us geeks can play with it? Please Please Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please Please Please? A demo was actually released on http://ataritimes.com/article.php?showarticle=157 I haven't made many changes after that (I did add action functions so in the last demo you could open a door after you found the key). I have given the source to couple of lynx developers last week so maybe someone could finish it. Perhaps I could finish it one day but for now I definitely won't have time:-(. I do think a raytracer is definitely doable on a lynx. you can speed up the demo pressing option 1 and speed is quite acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucienEn Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) I did notice that demo didn't have any objects. I've attached a newer version where you can pick up items and use action buttons to use them. You can only in this demo unlock doors after retrieving some items. Okay the attachment failed saying not permitted to upload this type of file. So not sure where to post it.

Gregory DG Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) Ok, I've updated the page with the latest version. You can get it here. (It's the Dec. 2004 version.) Edited June 14, 2007 by Gregory DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucienEn Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Ok, I've updated the page with the latest version. You can get it here. (It's the Dec. 2004 version.) Thanks Greg. The only thing really missing is collision detection and I was thinking to limit the amount of objects at any given time to 3 to make it simple. If I ever have some time off I'll see I can finish the engine. I've forwarded the source code to couple of developers so maybe someone else will find the time to finish it.

Video Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 It could easily do Wolfenstien typ of games. Perhaps even Doom, without to much trouble (since both of those are 2D games to begin with) I'd like to see one of those made for it. But eh..it'll never happen. Perhaps a homebrew will come to it though. The only FPS I can think of were unlreased though, and there are several TPS (steel talons, Xybots, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom and Wolf3D on the Lynx. iD buy that for a dollar. CyberVirus is a FPS, and was published (by me) about 5 years ago for the Lynx. It is outdoors rather than indoors, which simplifies the math quite a bit, but still an impressive and fun game (but then, I'm biased ).

Video Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Cool, I vaguely remember that, but stayed away cause I couldn't find out if it was actually 3d ish (like wolfenstein) or just first person perspective... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
