hello there. i was wondering if anybody knows where i can aquire the cource code to tank wars in c++, would be very cool to recreate this game with openGL graphics...also where might i be able to find tutorials on importing 3ds models for use in openGL.....thnx ~Popper_Demi

don''t know anything about ''tank wars''

check opengl.org for code on reading 3ds files, last week there was an article on how to read in and display 3ds files with opengl

allrite thnx for the 3ds info....tankwars is an old dos game where 2 tanks lobb projectiles over hills....ne one remember this game? u can download it here -> ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/gamesdomain/shareware/misc/bomb32.zip , and it can be played online in java format at: twars.com

a source is provided in java tho...so it doesnt do me much good

"a source is provided in java tho...so it doesnt do me much good.."

Java and C++.. what''s so different?

Ahh yes that ole game =). Would be very cool to remake it in OpenGL, very cool.

Never heard of tank wars, but from your description it sounds alot like a game called "Nukes3D" the Biggins (a coder from MIT) was working on a while back. His site is at http://biggins.mit.edu/ this game is in DOS, but if it''s similar to what you''re talking about he might give you the source code. Cheers!

heh, thnx for the link, this guy seems to have had a similar idea of what i had in mind, and he did a damn good job of making it a reality, but alas..there is no source, and the game must be registered

If tank wars is what i am thinking it is then it isnt very complicated, why not do a complete re-write: you might even learn something that way!!!!!

thats that crappy game schmick made.

I remember that game as Bomb (maybe even Bomb 3D)... anyways would be very cool if someone did a remake in OpenGL, in full 3d and that you can overview the "battlefield" by flying over it ;-) just a couple of thoughts..
