Thanks for clicking.
NB> Much of this post is intro and extra info. Look for points (1., 2. etc) for the main points of the post.
Since I couldn't find the intro's forum, Ill do it here:
My name is Chris, and I'm a programmer (amongst other things!). Some of you PSP3d folk will know me, and know that I attempted a couple of projects but never really got the support.
Well, QJ seems to THE PSP, and indeed, PSP development forum.
Intro over.
OK, well like I say, I'm a programmer. I know C++, but haven't ever released anything in it. I know Delphi(pascal) and have released multiple Windows projects written in the Delphi IDE.
I am know, moving to PSP, to finish a project I started way back before I knew Lua. The concept is somewhat of a hit over at PSP3D, and it is called CTU-OS, a hacking/tech game based on the fictional Counter Terrorist Agency. It will all be based in an OS-style GUI, providing many of the tools yo would expect from a shell (Image viewer/editor, text editor, possibly basic IDE/API...)
Anyway, Point 1:
1. I NEED competent developers to help me. Not because I'm bad, because it's going to be huge. To read the full brief, head to
http://psp3d.com/
Secondly, this is a too-large project, even though not graphically intense, for a first release, and I expect the reason my projects lack support is that I have no following in the homebrew community.
That is why I have come to decide that I should make a 2d engine for side-scrolling shooters (Codename: Gordon, for example). I know it is not something the community needs another version of, but it is something I want to do. To summarise
2. I want to make a 2d engine.
It will support custom maps, weapons, characters and enemies, and be open source. This is mainly a solo-project, but
3. I could use a GFX artist for sprite sheets and such.
However, it is quite daunting (especially allowing mod support via text files) and so:
4. I am looking for source code of any projects that use txt files for loading maps (CSPSP for example, where letters reflect the tiles) and any 2d games.
I don't want to copy chunks of code, I want to UNDERSTAND chunks of code.
If ANYONE has unreleased, hard to find or even just code I might have missed whilst searching, PLEASE contact me IMMEDIATELY. I go to Denmark tomorrow til Sunday and my internet access is going to be limited to zilch, but I have a spare day or so when i get back for programming practice.
Thank you ever so much for reading this post, and in advance for any responses!
New developer, new developments.
