Battle Empire

I bet many of you have played Battle City on NES. Here's an advanced "clone" of it i'm working on. It's mostly finished, but still some features need to be fixed or added. Here's some screenshots and a video clip of the game :). Main difference between Battle City and Battle Empire is that Battle Empire is a network game. You can choose between 4 different tanks (each of them with different abilities). The video clip included to this post has no sounds but the game does. I just didn't find a program that could record sounds too. I know the graphics aren't very good but I'll do my best to improve them.

I've added 3D walls and smoother edges for the tiles:

Down arrow - Reverse
Left arrow - Turn left
Right arrow - Turn right

I released a new version of it. Some bug fixes and more. Some people who played it for several minutes already created a new clan for Battle Empire :)

cool. Which network library did you use?

Andres

(Posted 2005) [#9]

Which? I didn't use any library except the ggtray one for server. Pure BlitzPlus :) Including realtime server status and so on.

This is a nice game, except nobody's online playing it, which makes it unplayable. :(

Andres

Towers will be created, but I'm not sure when exactly. I'll have to fix some minor bugs, add bots and CTE and then towers probably or i'll add towers instead of bots :)

the newest download doesn't seem to work for me...noe of them do. They all come up with corrupt files, and then when trying to run the program it gets a memory access violation...

Andres

It's in Blitz3D, but yea, the GUI system i made seems to have problems with nVidia cards, all ATI machines work well.

Andres

got bored and resurrected an older version of Battle Empire (version 1.08)

NB! the AI is messed up in this version
