Just two 128X128 pixels textures plus 2D filter! No GLSL required :) Works on texture face mode.

bOOm!

Flying Enemy

This is one of the enemies design.

.blend available here. (<--Saved in Blender 2.59)

Warning: the .blend file is too heavy (CPU intensive) I'm replacing physics with shapekeys at the moment.
Tip: you need to wait for a while until the balloons stabilize ;)

Please mention Aerial Machines project if you share or reuse this asset.

Thank you!

Updating Aerial to Blender 2.5

2011-03-18T13:54:00.001-07:00

New motion script done:

~~## Script by Leandro Cassa~~
~~## Updated to Blender 2.5 by Andre Ortiz~~
~~## this script is to control the plane pitch, roll and movement~~
~~## also has a crash control if you break any restrictions~~

~~import GameLogic~~
~~import math~~
from math import *

~~# global variable to define if the plane should or not crash according~~
~~# to the restrictions here defined~~
~~GameLogic.crash = 1~~

~~# get angle in the Matrix Y axis~~
~~def getYAngle(matrix):~~
~~tempMatrix = Matrix(matrix[0], matrix[1], matrix[2])~~
~~return tempMatrix.transpose().toEuler().y~~

~~# get angle in the Matrix X axis~~
~~def getXAngle(matrix):~~
~~tempMatrix = Matrix(matrix[0], matrix[1], matrix[2])~~
~~return tempMatrix.transpose().toEuler().x~~

~~# get angle in the Matrix Z axis~~
~~def getZAngle(matrix):~~
~~tempMatrix = Matrix(matrix[0], matrix[1], matrix[2])~~
~~return tempMatrix.transpose().toEuler().z~~

~~cont = GameLogic.getCurrentController()~~
~~act = cont.actuators["pythonAct"]~~
~~# gets the object who owns the actuator~~
~~obj = cont.owner~~

~~## crashAngle = 80~~
##
~~## Crash Logic. It "crashes" the plane to another state.~~
~~## if (getYAngle(obj.orientation) > crashAngle or getYAngle(obj.orientation) < -crashAngle or getXAngle(obj.orientation) > crashAngle or getXAngle(obj.orientation) < -crashAngle and GameLogic.crash) :~~
~~## # plane is crashing now.~~
~~## obj.state = 1<<1~~
~~## Game Logic~~
~~## else:~~
~~## # keep the plane flying, set Z force of 9.81 on the bottom of the plane~~
~~## act.force = [act.force[0], act.force[1], 9.81]~~
##
~~## # keep the plane moving forward (engine)~~
~~## #act.setDLoc(0, 0.01, 0, 1)~~
~~## act.dLoc = [0, 0.05, 0]~~
##
~~## # turns the plane according to Y axis rotation angle~~
~~## act.dRot = [0, 0, -getYAngle(obj.orientation)/5000 ]~~
##
~~## # activate actuator~~
~~## cont.activate(act)~~
~~## #GameLogic.addActiveActuator(act,1)~~

Asking help in the forums.

EDIT: The new motion script is wrong. HG1 just updated all Aerial Machines scripts!

KUDOS to HG1! Thank you so much! Open Source Rulez!

Release 2

2010-07-17T16:01:00.000-07:00

HOW TO PLAY:

1) Download and install the Blender 3D software version 2.49b for your platform:
http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/

2) Download the file "AMr2b.blend" and open it using Blender:
http://aerialmachines.googlecode.com/files/AMr2b.blend

3) Place the mouse cursor over the main scene and press the "P" on the keyboard to make the game start.

4) To Stop the game press "Esc"

5)
Player 1 controls: "Arrows" to move, "K" to speed up (remember it burns more fuel), "L" to shoot, "Downarrow" to release the dock (fuel station / pink box).
To dock you just need to touch one of the docks (fuel stations).
Press Up and down arrows at the same time to stabilize the ship.
During dock or stabilize you are weak: one hit = death.

Player 2 controls: "WASD" to move, "C" to speed up (remember it burns more fuel), "V" to shoot, "S" to release the dock (fuel station / pink box).
To dock you just need to touch one of the docks (fuel stations).
Press W and S keys at the same time to stabilize the ship.
During dock or stabilize you are weak: one hit = death.

File features at a glance:

-2 players game -Keyboard support -Fuel system -Score display -Health bar -Primitive artificial intelligence -One scenario

Release 2 Extra features: More documentation! Skyline. No more angle constrains! Updated scripts!

DON'T FORGET to check our WiKi for more details about this project!

Have fun!

Designing new steering system in response to nice criticism from testers. :)

Trying to keep steering up to date. Recent tests on discussion foruns indicates that users really don't like the "limit angle" approach. Removing limits, adding stabilizer.

Airship navigation is currently constraint to one hemisphere in front of the ship to achieve gameplay simplification.

Player 1 controls: "Arrows" to move, "K" to speed up (remember it burns more fuel), "L" to shoot, "Downarrow" to release the dock (fuel station, pink block). To dock you just need to touch one of the docks (fuel stations).

Player 2 controls: "WASD" to move, "C" to speed up (remember it burns more fuel), "V" to shoot, "S" to release the dock (fuel station, pink block). To dock you just need to touch one of the docks (fuel stations).
