U.S.S.R Milestone 3 Presentation
Background • Creating a arcade racing game involving the specialization areas of our choice: • AI • Procedural Content • GPU/Shader programming
What went wrong? • XNA/JigLibX is not the way to go. • Things took longer to implement/debug than planned. • Source engine games + USSR destroys the dx9 device forcing user to reboot or get seizures . • Trying to keep things simple, we over complicated stuff.
Graphics/Shaders • What’s implemented: • Shadows • Particles • Fullscreen glow • Why not more?
Procedural Content • What’s implemented: • Tracks • Textures • Vehicles • ”Skybox” • No terrain around the track
AI • What’s implemented: • Track following • Fuzzy logic • Situation based steering • Interaction • Limited obstacle avoidance • No difficulty settings
What went Right • We have a game and it is playable. • Techno Bauer Anthem!!!
Lessons learned • Do not use XNA for bigger projects if not specificly targeting the Xbox 360. • Take the easy way out, there are shadercreation tools out there. No need for doing everything by hand. • Ananlyze dependencies better to get a more complete timeplan. • When making an AI that doesn’t cheat, don’t cripple it. Give it all the data it needs to cheat, just don’t let it.
Questions? • ”Knowledge is power”
