what are the maps based on? Are the tile collisions rasterized?
EDIT: Also, orpheon, remember that you can split this if it gets out of hand

let's see...

hmm, filesizes are quite small. Probably vectors of some sort, or tiles. It's a non-image and non-text file format. The data/mapres folder has a bunch of textures and map elements. Hmm...

AJF, I wish you luck in your endeavors, but I'll stick to this project for the moment.

EDIT: Also, orpheon, remember that you can split this if it gets out of hand

Yeah, I just like deleting.

There is a free and open-source game with a weird name I can't remember that involves blobs that jump around and shoot things. I would probably use whatever engine it uses.

Edit: TEEWORLDS. That's it.

Edit 2: It has shooting, it has physics, it has custom maps, it has two teams, it has CTF. I'm sure it could be adapted to serve gg2's needs.

AND WITHOUT REWRITING THE WHOLE BLOODY THING.

I am pretty sure that teeworlds is nothing like gg2.

dusty that is not how game engine building works

Alien Swarm was nothing like any other Valve game.

It was programmed with the same engine L4D2 used.

In this case it'd be more like making L4D with HL2's engine though.

the reason why I said that is because I could understand trying it out if the games were similar in physics and mechanics
Teeworlds is not, and unless large set of changes are made, it just wouldn't feel like gg2.
It'd probably be better to work off of something basic or scratch like PyGG2.

(I can't really talk though, the new infected slaughter is built off of a multiplayer pong example medo made.)

[NAGN]

Teeworlds is similar enough I'd reckon. I don't know the details as I haven't looked at the code, but its a sidescrolling networked game, which is all gg2 honestly is + projectile emphasis

I am planning to watch all of this just to learn this and contribute to this. I am currently at 13:00 and I will watch the rest later

Close enough

Seems like a pretty good course. Good luck.

Christ, that's a wonderful video. I might just get on this project if it works for me.

Codecademy has a new python course.

I'm currently working on javascript and the bunch of webby stuff that goes along with it lately, and I think it's pretty good so far.

[Orpheon]

In case anyone cares, I did a few hours of work today on PyGG2, managed to get teams up and working and damage almost. There are some problems in the networking that I'm just purposely ignoring atm, but at least those features can be more or less crossed out. None of it is public yet, but it someone else wants to work on it I can make a branch.
