Welcome to DoomSharp();

DoomSharp is an experiment in .Net coding. We intend to create a complete, playable First Person Shooter game in C#. We will use no hardware acceleration, no Graphics libraries other than the ones we shall design ourselves (in other words no Open GL, no DirectX...). We may permit outselves the dubious luxury of the windows API to help us out of tight spots (we shall also be using unsafe C# code liberally, it is of course perfectly legitimate part of C# after all).

We aren't doing things by halves either as you will soon see by the screenshots here presented. Please take the time to peruse these pages, they are a great read and frequently fascinating as well as entertaining.

- Wossy.



Project Milestones:

• Render a quad - DONE (under revision)
• Render a quad represented by a read game object - DONE
• Transform 3D world coords into 2D screen coords - DONE (ongoing)
• Renderable map - DONE
• Map Editor - DONE (Work in progress)
• User Input - DONE (although Note is sooo wrong about the Y-Axis )
• Game loop - Nearly Done
• Player movement - DONE
• Navigable Map - Yeah!!
• Weapons (with muzzleflash etc.)
• Sound
• Enemies (billboard)
• Music (?)
  
• Playable level
• Game end conditions (win/lose)
• Death / Glory graphics
  
• DoomSharp();

}

The beast stirs...

Why would you want to do make an FPS without graphics libaries coding in a language that was designed to be managed but you are using in an unmanged way?

BTW I saw the screenshots and it looks awesome I would be happy get the same results USING directX and managed code

i second that singularis... I think a better idea would be to code it in like five diff languages... and code each part in the language it wud seem easy and efficient in. But then again, this maybe trouble when putting the game together. Hey, also, how about you put up like simple tutorials as you go on with the project that relate to C# programming that relate to this project... This way newcomers can help as well and we can learn... after all thats the main objective of this website ...

EDIT: NVM!! ZOMG this project was started in 05 and still not even half way done. wow... maybe we should actually do some work. How about someone aid me making a 3D game in VB using the NemoX engine @ http://perso.numericable.fr/~gazkole/malakoff/index.htm or some other engine you would think to be better. After all, this is VBforums.com

Edit2: Maybe this way my Xor Team wont be just run my myself @ http://xordev.kilu.de/

Hey how about actually making it using the Microsoft XNA Framework Express Edition. They even have some good VIDEO tutorials on microsoft on how to make games using it.

That would defeat the purpose of this project (even though it is dead), the project is designed to use NO 3rd-party libraries or assemblies.
