About
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BlockoFighter is a humorous beat-em-up game which originally started as a school project during a course in computer graphics. The first version called LegoFighter was finished under Christmas 2001 and now, after many months of work and idle time, we are finally presenting BlockoFighter - the second version of the game.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The game has been completely rewritten and there are many improvements which include sound effects and music, a full 3D arena and a nice physics engine. The backbones for the game are OpenGL and SDL.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This version of the game was made as an entry for the game development competition at the Assembly 2002 demo party. It placed third (kudos to the winner, Stair Dismount ;)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Blockofighter is a two-player game where two Blocko men (they may look like LEGO characters but they are not) encounter in a fierce battle which occurs in a rectangular arena located in the spectacular fjords of scenic Lapland. The fighting is so intense that severed limbs or heads are not a rare sight. Furious breakdancing moves are available for skilled players who want to fight with style. West side!

History
|
|
||||||
=======
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2.01:
|
|
||||||
* Blockomen make more damage -> faster games
|
|
||||||
* Blockomen can now jump from any stable surface
|
|
||||||
* Keyboard configuration is changed, see below for new controls
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2.0:
|
|
||||||
Whole game remade from scratch.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Recommended system specs
|
|
||||||
========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
OpenGL is required! The game uses SDL for window and image handling,
|
|
||||||
and FMOD by Firelight Technologies for audio.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Fast CPU (at least 1GHz) is highly recommended, mostly because of very
|
|
||||||
slow and unoptimized physics engine. Also a fast graphics-card is
|
|
||||||
recommended, but this game is mostly CPU-expensive.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Windows
|
|
||||||
=======
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All necessary libraries are included in the package. Just launch
|
|
||||||
BlockoFighter.exe
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Linux
|
|
||||||
=====
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SDL and FMOD must be installed in order for this game to compile
|
|
||||||
and work.
|
|
||||||
SDL and SDL_Image are located at http://www.libsdl.org/, but are also
|
|
||||||
available for example via apt-get in Linux Debian:
|
|
||||||
apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
|
|
||||||
apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev
|
|
||||||
FMOD is located at http://www.fmod.org/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After installing libraries, just use "make" -command to build the game,
|
|
||||||
and enjoy the game by launching blockofighter -executable.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This game was created in Windows-environment, and we were not able
|
|
||||||
to test it in Linux enough, but at least it worked with me :)

Known issues
|
|
||||||
============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Blockomen might sometimes get stuck in each others
|
|
||||||
- In some Linux-environment screen was left blank while game
|
|
||||||
was still running fine. We are working on this.
|
|
||||||
- There has been reports about blockomen not getting damage at all
|
|
||||||
when launching Blockofighter for the first time, though this has not
|
|
||||||
been verified. If this happens, try launching the game again.
