Here&#39;s the day 3 video. I&#39;ve added collision detection (so the enemies can actually be shot down), and some basic AI behavior (the enemies dodge bullets).<div><br></div><div>Enjoy :-)</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://screencast.com/t/YjkzNzA1ZjYt">http://screencast.com/t/YjkzNzA1ZjYt</a><br>

I worked for a couple hours today and got the basics set up. The enemy doesn&#39;t move, and the bullets can&#39;t actually hit it, but hey, if you aren&#39;t embarrassed by your version 1, then you released to late, right? ;-)<div>

<br></div><div>Anyway, here&#39;s a 10-second screencast of the game so far:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://screencast.com/t/NzRlMTBkYjU" target="_blank">http://screencast.com/t/NzRlMTBkYjU</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

The game idea is a scrolling shooter game reminiscent of Raptor [1], an old DOS game.</div>

<div><br></div><div>The game is be implemented in Common Lisp, based on my Blackthorn game engine [2]. Blackthorn itself uses Lispbuilder and CL-OpenGL for graphics. The engine is currently pre-alpha quality, but should be sufficient for a basic game. At any rate, if I spend some time fixing engine rather than game related issues, I believe the time will be well spent.</div>


<div><br></div><div>The game is intended to run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. (Basically, any PC platform that supports SDL.) I am also interested in getting the game to run on some sort of a mobile platform, but suspect I won&#39;t have time to look into that in only a week. Currently my best lead is ECL on the iPhone, but I haven&#39;t gotten the last known working build to compile on my system yet.</div>


<div><br></div><div>I look forward to sending out further updates as development progresses.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor:_Call_of_the_Shadows" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor:_Call_of_the_Shadows</a></div>
