The Dink Network

For those who know a while back I created this project, basically a small direct draw based engine which I was going to mold into a dink engine but never did. Well, in past days it has been reborn, the entire front end and direct x interface is completed, I am working on the .dat code right now and map structures..will it be released? I dunno, but I thought i'd tell you what I have done so far. This is all build from scratch.

- Front end built into the engine.
- 8-32 bit color support (user selected)
- Direct 3d interface with full HAL and RGB support.
- Direct Input and force feedback support. Should be able to use any gamepad with the engine.
- Windowed/fullscreen support. Fullscreen has a bug I need to fix though.
- Enabled alphablending (if you PC supports)

I am going ot make it 100% dink 1.07 compatible first then I will add these feature.

- jpg support.
- MP3/video support.
- Higher resolution support (I dunno about this yet)
- Weather support (day/night, rain, snow). (day/night is acctually rather easy to add..)
- Built in editor.
- <insert all my idea's for tile/file format here>

Drop idea's and such here. Remember, I may never release this even if it gets finished.

Why tell us about this if you don't plan on releasing it? You just want us to beg for it

Well, frankly im dying for more colors! i make new graphics all the time, but the colors look like *dog doo?* so i never release them

I am interested on releasing it, I just might not based on how it turns out.

You have the talent, be patient. This could be gooood.....

Here is a screen shot of the sentinel loading SOB, it takes the engine 2.5 seconds to load SOB.

Sounds pretty cool. I think you should have called it Project Flying-Monkey though. It has a much nicer ring to it.

nah sabre
Project ThinkDink
sounds much nicer
lol
but wc that looks cool

Project ThinkDink is the worst possible name that could have been created. Along with Project SabreTrout of course...
