Oh man, you know what would rock? Like, this kind of amazing game, say... so, first, there should be a free roaming camera. Imagine that! You could look at the level, which consists of, say, a skybox? Oh, and a terrain and maybe a number of model entities? Not sure which I'd use, maybe blood_gorge+6.tga, small_terrain.hmp, earth.mdl, blob.mdl and... oooh, maybe wall.mdl.
But it doesn't stop there! Let's say we put... uh, five different particle effects there? And if you press a certain button, its activated! Some ideas for those:
* Explosion where each particle has a random colour
* A 'Particle within particle' effect (say, a big explosion where particles then have a smaller explosion at the end of their lifespan?)
* A particle 'tail', maybe for another particle that you can shoot?
* Oooh, snow? That'd be amazing. Especially, but this is really not obligatory, say the user could control the strength of this effect? We must remember to switch the sun off when we use that effect.
Man. If only I had a HINT, like "There are some predefined engine variables which control the sun’s parameters.", that'd make it easier!
Goddamn, that game demo would be incredible. Too bad nobody in the entire world will create your own homework. Sucks, huh? Man, we can be so mean.
Yes, users here will help you, most likely, especially if you stop using pointless annoying subjects like "URGENT PLSS". However, this task really isn't that hard. So go ahead and do it. Who knows, you might even find it fun.
(and for the clueless that don't understand this post)Also, it'd be hilarious if your teacher read this forum (and since its the official forum, thats really not that far-fetched) and thus would know how you get ahold of your homework.
