We have begun a new project. It is an open-source free-for-all game engine project.

We are looking to open a web account so that people can upload/download source files at will.

We are looking for some developers who are interested in working on this project.

Basically, the end product will be a VB6 engine for a game, similar to Diablo/C&C/Fallout, that is free to any developer who works on it, also, anyone else happens to download it.

What is needed now is collision detection using a b&w bitmap so that you can only walk on the white parts.

If there are any honest people out there willing to help, email me.

Here is a good example of pixel collision detect

If you are interested in game / 3d programming, then I'd really recommend looking at the 3d engine article posted onto CodeGuru last month -

- it's quite amazing what's been done with this piece of code and could be used to make some excellent demos / programs.

Thanks Chris.

Just to clarify things, I want to make an entirely 2D game, similar to C&C, but you control only one guy at a time.

I'll try to get the source to you sometime soon.

That is a cool colision detection, but it looks really complex and I don't know how I would implement it into my engine.

If you want to check put my current engine, I can email it to you or something.
