 I have never heard a sub engine before, so I can't tell the difrense... But I'll take your word.

There are some samples from the Type VII somewhere on the net. Don't remember the link now though.

That means it need to bear comparisons with games like SHIII & IV and soon a V.
|
:hmm: That wasn't exactly my goal.
|
Yes I know but people know SHIII and alike and it's simple the reference and naturally they will compare it with them.

I was trying to make something BIG with my programming skills. And a uboat sim is a big project. That month I worked very hard and a lot of hours to get to the point where it is now.
|
You still working on it ?

The Spitfire is fun! You can also fire the deck gun and the torpedo...

Ah yeah that Spitfire. Also consider the phenomenon that a developer will always find his work good already only because he did it with his own hands in many hours of work. As a rule of thumb consider that others will find your game probably not nearly as funny as you would.

Well... I can't say that you are wrong. I call it "Old-school 3D". The models are in 2D, but the general view is in 3D. Meaning, that the positions of the sprites in the landscape is 3D. Giving us "Eye-view" sight.

Yeah, noticed.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to handle 3D models in my program...
|
You don't even need to know it. Have you C++ skills ?

The graphic engine of the "2D sprites, 3D Eye-view" was made by myself, using 4 code lines of trigonometric functions. That is something I'm proud of.
Though I must agree it is not the most uptodate graphic option for simulator.

Ahh, yes. The first steps in game making are so innocent
Reminds me on my self as I tried to make a simple sub command clone in ascii

I think some of the newest sims like Danger from the Deep are too much 3D, because it doesn't even work on my computer... 
|
I don't think it is too much 3D but there is rather a problem somewhere. Perhaps you simple need brand new drivers that supports the latest OpenGL version which DFTD uses.

Maybe I should've said that before, when I said realistic, I meant the speed, the fire range and so on...

Ok I see. Maybe we have somewhat different expectations from the word realistic.
