Mech Demo

Here’s a new little testdemo. I wanted to test some different things for a possible game idea using Papervision3D.  Including:

* Animated mesh (poorly)
* Basic collision between objects
* Basic bullet-shooting with collision
* Smoke trails

The keys for the demo are:
Arrowkeys (or wasd) – to control the mech
Space      – Shoot 
Enter       – Switch camera

Hints:
If you get stuck in the collision you might have to release and press down the forward key again. I’m working on a fix for this problem.

Bug:
There’s supposed to be a smoke trail after each rocket you fire, I’m having troubles getting it to show though. On this computer (using IE6) the smoke shows up after refreshing once, don’t know how it works in other browsers really.

    Regarding smoke: I get this error in firefox the first time i load your app:

    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at App/::fixSmoke()
    at App/::loop3D()

    And there’s no smoke. If I reload, then no error, and smoke works. Possibly, you are accessing smoke gfx or something, before they have finished loading.

    Otherwise, looks cool! I cant wait for a more advanced version with enemies to blow up and stuff!
