In Chat Game Creators....

[Spajeoly]

This is an open invitation for anyone who likes making games to look into writing games for Voodoo Chat.

The game interface is about to change with an upcoming revamp of the chat system but for now everything is the same. There is an example of how the interface works currently up for download here. The frame work is the VB project of the interface and compiles an OCX file, my example on the page is an example of how to use the OCX file.

So anyone interested is more than welcome to come. Voodoo Chat is a free to use & Ad free graphical based chat system with tons of features and security galore written in Delphi.

I have created a few games myself for it using the OCX file but I have not the time lately to make more games and to fix the ones that need fixing.

Hope some of you are interested.

Do you use the OCX to create the games or do you program everything in Visual Basic? Is the OCX some kind of engine?

ok

The only thing the ocx code does is hook the game to the chat client, you can use the OCX in your projects if you want or you can use the code.

When you hook the game to the chat client it puts the game in the list so others can join and play or just watch. It is sub classing using WM_VOODOO to communicate with the client. This works just like Winsock when you use the OCX.

The new Voodoo will include either a DDE interface or use WM_COPYDATA although the old interface will still be there using WM_VOODOO.

Mine and Arachnids game examples both show you how to start out, then you just build a game from scratch.

For some it is difficult to wrap your brain around it at first but once you catch on it is quite easy. I just am not very good at making games because motivational reason lol.
