How long has cube been around (cube 1, not 2.) If possible, could the source for very old versions be released?

Wait...

Where's the .cgz files? And is it only just flying around as if you're in editing mode? And will it compile on mac?

Sorry for the triple post, but, how about sauer, doesn't it go back to '02?

Early builds != functionality.

I know I laughed too. Reminded me of the DOOM alphas where it said, "Dude, if this gets out, you can kiss your autographed game guides away!" or something like that. oh, and aard, how long had cube been in development at that point, I'm interested.

When I made Made an Xcode project including all of the source files I get a whole bunch of errors about it can't find SDL.h, doesn't recognize a whole bunch of stuff about about SDL and GL. Help, because I get the same stuff with the latest cube code and sauerbraten code.

I would like to find out more about the sphere engine, the game GREED, and the mobile games aard was working on.

Doesn't Sauer come with the needed SDL stuff? Or is that just the Windows version?

That's just the Windows version which puts the DLLs in its folder. Linux prefers not to create duplicates of everything and just puts one version in a single place where all programs access it. :D

I have the SDL.framework file, it still won't compile.

you'll also need:
SDL_mixer.framework
SDL_image.framework

the cgz loading/saving wasn't implemented in this release yet, thats how early it was! I usually wait as long as possible with file formats, since it reduces the amount of file format changes, which can be painful.

The first lines of code of cube were created in november 2000 - ish.

I actually have the source for "sphere" too, but its too pathetic to release. This early cube release is actually interesting because it already has editing, lighting, and my horribly broken LOD system :)

No idea wether it works on a mac. There's no windows specific code in it afaik.

I don't remember the exact starting date of sauer... must have been the end of 2002.

do you have an old sauer release, I checked the oldest one on SF is from '04, I want to see how close it is to cube. ;) I know it says not to ask you for any help with compilation, and this is off topic, but do you have the Xcode project for Cube 8-29-2005?

I was seeing if aard might have had it. Did you give it to anyone else? The current cube Xcode I have produces this bug where textures get replaced by model skins.

Any screenshots of level editing in Sphere then? :)

What about Greed and the mobile games?

I have always wondered about this stuff and now there is a thread for it :)

The sphere world structure was triangular columns on a sphere (which can be raised or lowered either per face or per vert) allowing you to build walls, stairs, slopes etc, but no ceilings. The fun thing is of course that all levels are automatically connected on all sides, yet visibility is limited, which to me sounds ideal for an FPS. You can make larger levels simply by changing the planet size.

It be a fun idea to revisit, especially nowadays I'd be able to whip it up much quicker.

The mobile games are stuck inside the company I made it for and their publisher, so no idea wether they will see the light.

Greed will see the light one way or another. It has been redesigned like 5x now, every time I get going I discover something about the gameplay that will suck, and I restart. If anything, tought me not to ever focus on fancy graphics again before gameplay is fully tested.
