Mask - the liero clone

-
Finally I've rewritten my little engine so that it is in a presentable state. The list of things I've tried and changed is huge but in the end it turned out pretty stable. It's gonna take a while to transform this preview into a real game though and i'm not sure i'm up for it actually. This feels like a release to me because it's playable :)

Anyway what i need to do is roughly:
  • Add a menu for game setup and changing controls
  • Adding more weapons
  • Adding powerups
  • Implement some kind of sound support
  • Get new graphics

Controls

Here are the controls for both players. I just realized that the keys might be placed very tight. I'm using a split natural keyboard so it works for me.
ActionPlayer 1Player 2
WalkD,G,R,FLeft, Right, U, Down
Change WeaponQY
JumpWU
ShootSJ
Ninja RopeQ+WY+U
DiggHold one direction and tap the other


You can also try experimenting with the mouse to add/remove ground and add particles.

Applet

If you're like me and running Sun HotSpot 64bit for Linux, there won't be any applet under this text :(
Run the game at the project site

Download

The game can be started as an ordinary Java application as well, download the jar from:

jQuery floating table header plugin

-
A jQuery plugin that makes the header of a table floating if the original header isn't visible due to scrolling. The plugin will automatically choose the thead tag as the header for a table. If thead isn't found it will search for rows marked with the class 'floating'. The behavior can be changed by the settings forceClass and markingClass. News 2012-08-19 This plugin is no longer maintained by me and this page will therefore not be updated anymore. 2011-01-04 1.4.0 ! Lazy loading of tables and performance optimations by Jason Axley 2010-08-02 1.3.0 ! Better ie6 support, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16655 Fixed parameter name typo, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16819 2010-07-08 1.2.0 ! Fixed a few bugs and added reinit and recalculate functions to the table. 2009-10-19 1.1.0 ! Better compatibility, better tested. There are still some problems with IE6 that i would like to have some help with. 2009-10-15 1.0.7 is out! With all fixes made...

Seascape - OpenVR adaptation of a 4k intro

-
Image
At Revision this year I competed in the 4k intro competition with an intro called 'falling'. Because I've been doing a lot of VR related stuff lately I decided to convert the intro into an interactive VR experience(?). The original shader is a single raymarched scene which means that demo is very demanding on the GPU. But you can provide a scale factor for the framebuffers on the command line to get acceptable framerate. The binaries are compiled for Windows 10 and can be downloaded here . I suggest putting on some nice background music like  Röyksopp  for maximum effect. If you're not that into VR you can go over to Shadertoy and watch the intro instead,  https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dcSDN .
