Hit The Mario

This was the first game i made (aug/2007), when i started to learn about gamming development.

I dont have nothing against Mario Bros (actually i like him very much...hehe), i just used the Mario because was the only 3d model that i found for free on internet (when i developed the game, i didnt have any idea how to model properly).

Actually this game was made just for learning... how to put all together (terrain, sky, clouds, billboards, music, sounds, particles, user input and such).

Download the game


IPC ActiveX

Allow 2 different process exchange data with each other can be a nightmare on VB (and im not talking about DDE...arrrrgh)

Actually exists a lot of methods... the most easy (my opinion) is the use of namedpipes or mailslot. This code use mailslot to estabilish the communication between two process (with few modifications on the code you can be able to communicate between process on diferent machines on your network). The primary functions of send and receive data was ported to ActiveX DLL.

Anti Debug

Basicly this piece of code protect your program to be debugged... this is also a interesting example about how to use threads in VB (without crash it)

AIML - Artificial Inteligence

Finally a little example of Artificial Intelligence in VB. This code wasnt developed by me, i just want to share with you. I realized that does not exist much examples that uses natural language around on internet, with focus on artificial intelligence.
So, here is... just click here to download the source code:

Male Model

This is a WIP (work in progress) male model... just trying to improve my facial modelling skills (model ears is a pain in ass).
Also, this is the 1st model that i made an very good unwrap.





Female Model

This model i made just after i finished the CG class. It's a high poly version with "turbosmooth" applied on it (as you see, i must improve my texture skills).

Ok, her face is not soooo pretty, but look at 3d model, not the person... hehe





Sponge Bob

This is one of the first models that i made during the modelling class. It has some things to improve (some unnecessary vertex), but i think its pretty decent for a non-pro modeller... ^^
