Darts in delphi

[Amonijack]

It is posible to make this game in delphi ?
does anybody made darts in delphi ? Some algoritm ?

Some reasons why you wouldn't want to write a game in Delphi are:

1) You dont like Pascal (Lots of people prefer C/C++)
2) You want the game to run in a browser (Use Java or Flash)
3) You want the game to run on a mobile phone (Use J2ME)
4) You want the game to be portable (Use C/C++ with OpenGL)
5) You want a IPhone game (Um, suck an Apple)
6) You want a retro game (Learn the assembly language. ie: 6502, Z80)

As for an algorithm, gezz, um. the player moves the mouse for a starting X, Y and then holds and release the mouse to throw dart.

Id use the length of time the mouse was held down to indicate not only exit velocity, but also flight trajectory (angle) to simulate.

There was an old educational game that had a tank. It was a side view game. You had to enter the angle and power and the tank would shoot a rocket. If you missed the target, you would have to either change your power or angle. I think there was another tank shooting back at you.

Anyway, This would be similar, except your have X, Y and Z so you know where on the dart board you hit.

Maybe add some beer, chicks and bar fights to make the game more relistic.

Is it possible? Sure. However, you need to look at what version of Delphi you are using (especially .NET vs non-.NET), what type of graphics you want to use (sprites, DirectX, other), and how you want the game to work.

Before we can discuss algorithms too much, you really need to figure out some sketches (on paper!) of how you want it to work. alienkinetics has offered one way the gameplay might be done, but you'll have to spend more time on that than worrying about algorithms/implementation right now. That can be figured out later.

I think the more important question than "How do I make it?" would be "How can I get anyone to play it?". That might prove a lot harder than making it. Even throwing real darts tends to get old fast for most of us.

O, thats easy!

Call it Wii Fit Darts and make millions telling people that playing virtual darts is a fitness activity.

Im waiting for Wii Sex myself. I played the "hula hoop" on Wii the other day. i think chicks do it better
