Tanks

What is tanks?​

It's a small mini game consisting of 12 players max shooting missiles at each other.

Look at youtube video for a example:
[YOUTUBE]
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QynI2tzkYYs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QynI2tzkYYs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
[/YOUTUBE]

There will be game modes:

• Blitz
• Turn Based (Not Recommended for Large Groups of People)
  ------------------------------
• 2v2v2v2v2v2
• FFA
• 6v6
• Random Teams

Who do I need?​

I need a JASSer and that's basically it. The programmer needs to know very advanced stuff.
I'll be doing the rest.

So you just need someone to make this map for you? Dont be dissapointed if nobody is interested-

What are you talking about?

I'll be doing the rest.

 

[Ghostwind]

Holy shit I'm addicted to iShoot! I can't wait to see what this is like...

 

[PureOwnage]

@Vestras: Thank you.

@Ghostwind: I would first need a Jasser.

 

[Vestras]

Bah, I guess I could do some stuff.
Depends on what it is.

To what extent? Would you help me make a physics engine for this or lesser stuff? You are a good coder.

He needs a good, advanced Jasser.

Also, what exactly is 'the rest' of the stuff?
It seems like a map like this would be 99% code.

For those that wants to try it, here's to original: Tanks

 

[Vestras]

> You are a good coder.

I am sure a lot of people would disagree.

Now, my brain isn't created for physics (I'm not very good at math), so I can't do that.

 

[PureOwnage]

@Romek: The rest would be like Object Editor and basic triggers.

@Vestras: I'll contact you if I need help.

This is a reallllyyyy old game, I used to play It's amusing, same "play method" as worms

I guess you could make it in same style as Platform Escape
http://www.epicwar.com/maps/74123/
That map.

But it's probably hard, though it would be interresting hehe.

 

[Romek]

> I am sure a lot of people would disagree.
I think everyone who knows Jass will disagree.

> The rest would be like Object Editor and basic triggers.
That's basically nothing compared to the amount of Jassing a map like this would require.

 

[PureOwnage]

So, how should I make this game? Arrow keys to adjust power and angle?
Abilites?
Click on wisp?

Spoiler

Thanks for -repping me *cough*

I Agree with most, that the bulk of the project you are asking for someone else to do, at least the core of it. But i still think the core takes less time then adding all the content and polishing.

Blah, depending how far you go with this. The Bulk of it is Easy, And could with out a problem be done in the gui for that matter.

This doesnt look like you need someone that advanced.
Looks like theres a few parts to this game

1) Flat Style View.
2) A Changeable Ground, like if it gets blown up
3) A Physics for the bullet,Physics for tank if the ground gets blown under form it
4) Effects, that could be set up to work with different types of bombs.
5) bullets that do different things, like bigger blast, or what not
6) A Turn Based System
7) A way to buy new weapons, could be done with a shop, But if you want something like that looked like that game , pretty much you need a jasser, but it doesn't have to be done the hard way.
8) A Win/Lose Condition, Some icons models ect.

So what parts are you asking help with? 2,3,4 right? that still leaves a bit for you. But 2 and 3 are the harder parts to set up. I could see most of 2 and 3 getting done, in less then a few hours, *Depending on how the pyiscs part is done.

 

[PureOwnage]

@rover: yeah, that's basically it.

So, how should the game be played? Look at older post.

 

[PureOwnage]

Bump.

So.. no suggestions?

 

[SerraAvenger]

I would like to program a 3d version some time. Once Arc is finished, that is.

EDIT: Physics is really easy. What isn't is the flat style.

EDIT2: Changed my mind. Don't wanna work with war3 much longer.
