Okay, been working on Alien Holocaust again this week so here's what I've done:



This shows the player object jumping. I've decided to ditch PhysX in favour of programming the physics myself. Also the floor is now a dynamic object that can be resized and moved and the player will still collide with it. This will be used to create the floor sections from the XML file.

Just a quicky to say I've cleaned up the AH code and dropped it over here. I've dropped a lot of old code that was slow and replaced it with some new optimised stuff. I've also dropped the bullets from this one as I'm in the process of changing how they work. Not much else to say but I should have a few interesting updates in the next couple of days.

New screeny showing an enemy object. Of course all meshes and materials are still just in there as tests but you get the picture. Enemies can move left and right now and are animated the same as the player. I've put some test bullets in, no collisions yet and only one bullet can be created at a time but they are there as a concept. I'm working on level generation from xml files still and the enemy manager should be in there by the next update too.
