An RTS Game in a Day

First credit given to Nauris' sprite pack (as you can see I used those)... to the other Bob on this forum, used a couple sound effects he so kindly offered (he is also responsible for the mac version)... and the music is from an overflow free release from Tim Aste... :) the rest is mine, yes I own up to the simple renders made sprites lol...
I started coding at 10:10 AM, and finished at roughly 6 AM (of course plenty of breaks within)... Have an intro screen, an ending one, etc etc... didn't come out half bad :)

Note the mac version doesn't use the right click on the mouse correctly, soon will have a version up with space bar also doing the same function as right clicking

However, that brings-up a great idea -- make a RTS pack for T2D (and maybe other packs for popular genres).

AFAIK, the RTS Pack requires a TGE license (and presumably, some of the code from TGE?)However, that brings-up a great idea -- make a RTS pack for T2D (and maybe other packs for popular genres).

all the systems I developed for this were developed during GID (other than making the objects move to a path point, already had that done)

Yep RTS pack is for 3D mainly... there might be "some" things that could be ported over, though would take a lot of work to go through it all ... something like Mike is saying might be more of a feasible idea... which brings things to mind in fact... hmmall the systems I developed for this were developed during GID (other than making the objects move to a path point, already had that done)

So did you code this from scratch Matthew? Did you use Torque at all?

I used T2D :)... all the RTS functionality I coded from scratch besides a moveTo method... that I done previously; however, the mining, unit creation, the gui, the logo (plus fades), attacking, bases, AI, and all other code I did during the Game in a Day
