In case anyone recognizes me...

I'm the guy programming -all- of the keenspot deegan game, and also am heading a small game design company.

Any assistance I can offer?

I might mention that I have a 2d sidescrolling engine, as it were, created for the deegan game.

It'd be wonderful to have you! I don't think that many of us have much experience with graphics, so any assistance you can offer would be appreciated. If we can hijack your engine, that would be great. What language is it written in?

It's just a really basic framework for movement and gravity, done in C++ using openGL for the graphical part.

Be forewarned, it's done -really- sloppily, because I was an idiot and didn't feel like making corrections where I screwed up, and instead just built around the "problems", making it a pain to sort through. I'll go back and clean it up, then post the source here.

In it are:

1) Movement
2) Gravity
3) Enemies
4) Health
5) Mana
6) Three different spells, one to push enemies around and deal slight damage, one to damage enemies, one to shield yourself.

You, sir, are a pretty good guy, who doesn't afraid of anything. I tip my hat in your direction.

Yes, you are. Now I wish that I knew something about OpenGL. Ummm... I've made a few games in Allegro, but I'm not sure if that will help.

The way it's done you really need know minimal about openGL. -I- used minimal amounts of it, for ease of whoever was gonna use the code.

What you need to know is how to read code, change variables, make functions, make variables.

Wow, sounds great to us, thanks for the help, we could sure use it.

Sorry I haven't gotten it up yet, I've had a -ton- of non-interwebz work this week. I'll probably be good either today or tomarrow to get it.

Grah, sorry. I'm still working, and have been really limited in the amount of time I've had recently. If you want, I can just post the unfixed version, with the changes I'd make myself, if you want.

To do the changes, all you'd really have to do is have a bit of time, be willing to slog through my code, and know what an array is/how to use one. Really simple stuff.
