Thanks Aggror,

 

I will use your services if there on offer. I'm taking some leave from work around the 24th. So after I've had a full working week on it, which will be awesome (around the 29th Sep), some external testing would be very welcome indeed.

 

I forgot to mention If you create the user Aggror your difficulty level automatically goes through the roof =).

They look amazing. If you had an fps gun with scope you would definitely want the first one as its shader!

 

I have no idea when it comes to shaders and I'm going to need to learn. Where does one start?

Thanks Clackdor.

 

I thought I had my hands full with one baby boy! My hat goes off to ya!

 

I work in primary schools in IT field and the schools I'm at have iPads from rec-yr2 and macbooks from yr3- 7 and growing. I haven't been very impressed with the level of educational software thats available. It's surprising how many pieces of software still need the disk in the drive to run; never have proxy options or run properly in a network environment. Makes me sad. Anyway I've learned heaps of what not to do for this project. I have had some input from teachers during this process too. It's needless to say LE3 is looking very attractive to me.

 

There wasn't any thing like aiming/firing planned. I hope to do a video soon which will clarify what you have to do more.

 

The way I plan to initialise a maths game goes...

- Say you encounter a lowered iron gate. (There will be a GUI element to let you know that magic can be used on an object).

-You have a spell inventory so select your raise spell and cast it (within radius of the object)

- The maths game is triggered.

 

I'm trying to think of other things to add in like figuring out which spell to use on an object so some simple problem solving is involved. I don't plan to add anything much more than that.

 

 

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback and kind words people, I'm really happy. Apart from one other project this is the first project that has ever seen the light outside of my study (the other is in a graveyard of unfinished games). It has been a pleasant surprise that making a game that doesn't revolve around violence and has more fun to make.

 

I have never had one of my game projects so complete and all the while working on LECP too! I do feel like a bit of a unit, I need a sleep catch up week. There still is a way to go, but I really am hammering my way through it.

 

@gamecreator More than likely this will be a free download. My whole goal as far as game dev goes is to make a game that people take the time to play. I just accomplish that and see if anything comes from it (or not) later I guess.

 

@Red Oktober I think you are right. I came up with the title quite some time back and I do remember googling it so I believed that was the spelling and never checked it since. You really can miss obvious mistakes when you have been looking at it for so long. Lucky this isn't a spelling game lol. To be honest maths and English have never been my strong points (That's right bring out the violins) and I struggle with some of the equations that my own program throws at me! (especially multiplication). Anyway that was a nice pick-up and I'll correct it tonight. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep the name, but I haven't thought of a better one.

 

Thanks Again!
