QtForce: Yesterday's Fun Today

Yesterday's Fun Today

Home

An open source adaption of Gravity Force 2/Gravity Power for Linux, using the Qt toolkit.

Version 0.1's been reached, and the program's well on it's way to version 0.2. The physics model is beginning to take shape - sort of. This is probably the bit that could use the most work at the moment, so anyone who wants to check it out should grab a copy from the CVS repository. There's even a friendly html interface! The most relevant to the physics are qfship.cpp and qfwindow.cpp.

The game's still unplayable at the moment, but if you bust on over to the Gravity Power page, you'll be able to see what it'll eventually be like. There's even links to a page where you can download the original Amiga game. The reason that the game's so primitive at this stage is that:

I don't know Qt;
I don't know C++;
I've never written anything even vaguely similar before

As you can see, this is a slight hindrance to a rapid development cycle :-). It also means that all the algorithms could probably be a lot better - so if you want to, help! It'll be fun.

This whole thang is cared for by them loverly types - thank you!
