Here's our final project for the year 2007-2008 compsci class. Enjoy. Hint: Read the Instructions Try pressing the keys 1,2,3,...9 and m (after you fire a missile) during the game It's a newly added feature. |

I like it. One thing to note is that it feels very awkward to go up or down. the axis is usually reversed (pressing UP puts the nose DOWN). also, if you can automatically adjust the view to always be behind the plane it would be easier to see how close you are to the enemy planes and such. Plus, it would look better.Keep up the good work. |

wow, really impressive! I liked how you had mountains and clouds. I recommend you add a light blue background for the sky and change the clouds to white though. |

yeah the controls are awkward but 3d turing makes my mind blow up, that being said i think i would have had more fun with a 2d version of this, just cuz i found the controls took away from the expericance, but yeah as i said you are pretty leet, i'm very envious of your 3d skills +bits  |

First post and already you're making a good impression! Just gotta try it out now... EDIT- FREAKIN SWEET! got to lvl 4, then, well, the controls made me quit. |

Hey petree, does your sig pic actually check the computer's specs to display the correct information? Because that's just weird, everything is right except the IP! Funny... Time to google 1337 hacks! |

Hey guys Thanks for everyone's support and suggestion; You guys are wonderful Ahson and I changed around some of the controls to make it easier and also added more views so the 3D might work out Now the down and up keys are switched and (thanks to Carey) there is new keys: i- shifts screen up k- shifts screen down j- shifts screen left l- shifts screen right tell me if it works better... The background was changed to light blue and the clouds are now white (thanks lordroba) PS btw I forgot to tell you guys last time there's actually a plot ending after level five (last level)! Tell me if you guys beat it 
PPS The code'll be out as soon as the year ends and we hand it in to our teacher. -Zheng- |

ok, sweet. It's a lot better with the new controls. I know I suggested you make the sky blue, but if you can, make it a linear gradient. Light blue on the bottom, and darker as you get higher, just like a real sky. Kinda like THIS. You might also want to add collision detection for the mountains. Other than that, keep up the good work! |

'you get all four planes: A-10 thunderbolt F-16 fighting falcon F-86 sabre P-38 lightning the end- your score is: 17350 Woo! first place in the high scores! This is definitely one of the few games that actually stays on my hard drive! Great work! Fun, new controls are much better! How long did you spend on this game? 3-D would be cool to learn, too bad the z-axis is obscure, it would be so eazy otherwize! I envy you so much. |

Thanks everyone for the reviews, It's great that you guys actually took the time to play this game and gave support! I've heard many people saying 3D is pretty hard to get use to <esp. from my class (Yes that does mean you guys J and A)> 
Is there any way to make the game easier for players? (without completely changing the view to turn with the cockpit because I have no clue how to do that) Ahson and I are actually currently working on mountain collisions and a gradient sky. We'd also like to make the game better (maybe multiplayer over the net? more weapons? different stats for planes?) tell me if you guys have any ideas. PS we've handed the game in to the teacher (hoping for a good mark) 
PPS and good job to insectoid; you actually beat the game! With an honourable score indeed 
-Zheng- PPPS (Ahson should be posting more often, I've been the only one posting on compsci) |

It's a good game, however you need to fix some things. I attempted to deleate the entire file off my computer at school, however was unable to. Your ClearScore.exe is non-deletable. This needs to be fixed. Movement of the plane should be changed as mentioned above. Other then that, good work. |

Alright, lolnoob, you need to go. Damn I wish I was a mod =/. And Sean, I assure you, it's nothing he did that made the program un-deletable. It's probably still being used in your system (in RAM, check task manager under Processes). I'd like to try this game, but I don't have Turing at work  . If you're feeling up to it (perhaps after marks come back if you don't want classmates ripping you off), you can release your source code. It'd make for great learning experience for some of those around here. |

On some school servers exe files are non-deletable to prevent students from deleting system files. |

Yeah, like insectoid said, some school computers don't allow you to delete files. Did you save the game in the C:/ drive by any chance? If you did, you should've saved it in your own personal folder/drive. |

Ahson and I got our project back and as promised: Here is the code for the final game; You will need to download the original game and replace the exe files with these files to work. Feel free to post any comments, ideas for improvement, questions ect. ** BTW is there anyway to inform people there are updates? ** since many people only look at the first post and download the starting game -Zheng- |

Great game but it would be nice if the camera would turn with the plane since now it feels a little akward. Anyways I'm amazed that you did 3-D in Turing. I didn't even think that was possible. |

Check out the newest version of this game at: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=18309 The code has been released. Please help by giving ideas in how to improve graphics, keeping the turing programming limitations in mind. |

in an actual plane when you push the stick forward the plane goes down... |

Thanks, I'll take a look at it when I switch back to XP. |
