Welcome to the school dev-blog!
I will write some lines about my project here once in a while (hopefully).
This project was started after my first computer lesson in school this year. I have only very few knowledge in C and C++ so I picked C++ as computer class. However, it turned out that my teacher knows less than me (memory management, differences between C and C++)..
Our first task was to write a calculator - right... in the console... using Dev-C++. Shocked by that, I just wrote my code within 15 minutes, then started to help others getting their code right. The next lesson, we were given the same task again - I was going fucking insane. I saw that this year would be useless if I wouldn't learn anything new, so I started making funky chiptunes using "Beep();" and the system speaker. I thought about whatelse I could do, I came up with 2 projects:
- A tracker for "Beep();" sounds to fill the booring time and get better at tracking
- A clone of "Mashed, Drive To Survive" to play with my classmates
In the end, the game idea got my vote.
So the plan is to create resources at home (mainly weekends, I have other projects over the week) and to write the code in school. The PCs in school can atleast do full DirectX8 which is quite impressive. However, I will write in DirectX9 to learn something new.
To prepare for wednesday I started to make some models yesterday and today:
These are a palm and an explosive barrel, the explosive barrel will be a weapon pickup, I also made another barrel which is green - the oil-barrel.
The car is not completed yet, I worked after an GT40 blueprint.
I plan to do the minigun, the flamethrower, the shotgun and some level files after finising the car.
If you are unfamiliar with "Mashed" you should check out this video:

PS: I came up with calling it school because I named the project files that way last wednesday already, a friend of mine completed the full meaning of the word.
