Fluid Wars 2.0 Is Out!

Post by duke4e »

Rules:
There are two players (red and green one). Players aim and shoot at each other automatically, but they also modify the surrounding fluids making it hard to directly hit the other player.

Player 1 is controlled with arrow keys, while player 2 is controlled with WASD.

^^ very nice looking game! I'll be taking a closer look at this as soon as I've got the time (5 days :/)

Cheers Michael

Looks like fun. When I went and played it, the game play was pretty slow and I didn't understand how the fluid and stuff moved, however.

The fluid simulation + eye candy requires decent CPU/GPU power. If you can play plasma pong on your PC, then you can probably play this game too.

Mechanics are simple - both players squirt waves in other players directions thus making their bullets travel at each other, but waves also collide with each other making bullets spread around.

I'm just assuming I won't be able to have a decent fps, unless you tell me there's a candy switch :P

Somethings not working properly in the game. The fluid ejected from each ball is just a bunch of turbulance. If the player is not moving, the bullets he fires just stay underneith the player and don't go anywhere. Even when the player moves, the bullets just stay more or less in their original firing location. I downloaded the game once before, and it worked fine then. Did you update it in the last 5 hours?

Nope. Try rebooting your PC ;)

I managed to beat the cpu once in 7 tries. The other six times I was pretty much whopped.

Bah, won't even run on my PC.

Prolly my video card (ATI 3D Rage Pro). I switched my Windows to 1024*768 resolution. Didn't help.

Well, maybe I could make a lo-fo version of game, but still much CPU power is needed during fluid dynamics simulation.

I just don't understand why it won't even run. HGE quirks.

Do You got DirectX 8.0 or higher?

http://hge.relishgames.com/overview.html says:
HGE runs on Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, NT, ME, XP and requires DirectX 8.0. It will run even on low-end video cards, including built in video cards such as Intel Solano (i815 chipset).
