Black holes now explode after reaching certain size, spawning pinkies :)
PS: this is the last (or, maybe, pre-last) release of HGEWars. I'm working on a new little project, codename “Level”. Details will follow later :)

What is BLACK and looks like a HOLE?
This is highly experimental version (in terms of gameplay), so please email me if you think its too difficult/easy/etc.

So, its time to take care of some things which are not so good in HGEWars :)
If there is something in particular, which annoys you in the game – please, write me an email (mailto:yuriyo@gmail.com) or leave a comment here.
The most “popular” thing will be fixed ASAP, promise :)

There is so much going on now that I did not have any time to work on the game. To make up for that, here is a small update :)

This release is not much different from 0.51a. The main difference is gamepad360 variable in the ini-file. Set both gamepad and gamepad360 to 1 to enable xbox360 controller support (or grab this ini file if you feel lazy). This includes the (basic) vibration effect.
ps: proud to be one of the first developers to use XInput in a game, hehe. psps: the next release will take a while, but its gonna be worth the wait :)

Yesterdey I bought a wired version of the controller. HGEWars is now one of the few games (along with Prince of Persia 3) that support XInput :)
It will be available for download soon...
PS: It is amazing how easy it is to program for XBOX360 controller :) XInput is great.

To enable the gamepad support, change the resolution, default screen mode and FPS limit – edit hgewars.ini file in notepad :)

Here is the list of things that are planned for next versions of HGEWars
If you have an idea that you think would work well in HGEWars – you can express it in the comments :)

If your PC can run v0.1a then try this one as well.
UPDATE: It appears you need to have VisualStudio2005 Beta2 (or express) installed to run versions 0.1 and 0.2. I will recompile the 0.2 version with Visual Studio 6 later on today – it should then work on any pc.

This is an under-development hobby project of mine. Aimed to re-create the
similar 360-game experience on a normal PC.
The demo shows-off the grid distortion effect, similar to the one on
the console. It uses HGE library (d3d wrapper) to render about 200k 2d-lines per frame :)
The demo is quite performance-hungry, so you need a powerful pc to run it
smoothly.
It is programmed in a multi-threaded fashion and therefore is multi-core
cpu friendly.
Having said that, the multi-threadedness is not perfected yet, so you
might experience weird “world behaviour”.
If you do experience wierd stuff (watch the video for the refference) or
can't run it at all (some people reported having just black screen) –
please send me an email with your PC configuration. I'm interested in your
CPU and graphics card models plus your OS version.
PS: Even if this project will ever be completed, the gameplay itself will
probably be not much like the console version.
YOU can help solving this problem by donating money into my 360-fund :)
PayPal account yuriyo@gmail.com or press the “donate” button (any donation size is welcome :)).
As soon as the development is finished, the console will be donated to the charity organization of the top-donor's choice :)
You could also land me a 360 for a week or two (if you live in Reading) :)
W – up
S – down
A – left
D – right
Left MB – fire
Right MB – spawn a box
Space – distort field around player
The tech demo comes with absolutely no guaranties that it will even run on YOUR machine. I'm not responsible if it will cause anything bad to happen to your PC. You run it on your own risk :)

This page contains some pretty interesting 2d and 3d collision detection and rigid body physics (C++ sources inside).
