Snowball Fight

In a prior entry, I wrote about a final project for my networking class.  Well, scratch that idea. ;)

I turned the concept into a multiplayer snowball fight.  I figure it would be pretty fun to sling a snowball at your friend for the sake of the holiday season that is fast approaching.   I will be trying to reach a limit of 3 on 3, with anybody over 6 players being in spectator mode, with the ability to join in once a player disconnects.

I redid the artwork and added a few more pieces, finished the input system, and I finished the collision detection system this morning.

Here is an in-progress shot!

Well, up next is some of the networking system. We’ll see how well my systems were designed for a client and server interaction.

    Looks like you’ve managed to find yourself a solid concept for your networking project. I think something non-gory like a snowball fight is perfect — it maintains a balance between having fun shooting things at people while keeping it appropriate for something like a school project. Looking forward to seeing how this develops. :)
