After the level setting should be nice make a main menu view, with setting, about and maybe a little mini game (I don't know, like all the goos catched in the levels to make a super high tower) .. what you think?

I want to develop a simple program to create level file starting from svg for make easier the creation of new amazing levels!

The scroll of the scene should start touching the sides of an inner rectangle smaller than the game viewport.

Readme files are obsolete, update them as soon as possible.

The actual site needs a temporary update. I'll work on it a little bit then I'll allow people to collaborate.

I think that we can create balloon Goo and super sticky goo, starting from the goo and dynamic goo class, of course the easier is the super sticky goo that is like a normal removable goo but that made very strong sticky joint.. You think that you can do it??

Looks like some unfinished code?

All of the computers I use, equipped with Intel integrated graphics. None of them opengl mode is not working correctly.

When a goo is jointed to some ones other and I drag it (and broke all the joints) the goo start to goo away from the mouse..

Why??

OpenGooDst needs to be completed

The tasks to accomplish are:

1. The qt linguistic code that loads from a configuration file the language set by the user.
2. The ftp upload code that uploads the report files.
3. An xml module, merged in the game code, that prepares the report when the game crashes before launching the debug sender.
4. Two goos artwork, based on the /Artworks/black-goo.v1.0.svg file, one crying and the other one quite happy.

If you wanna take a task, please follow the rules here.

For more information ask here.

We need new sounds for the game. The in-game sounds should include effects when goos are bouncing, are warped or when they are falling and also when they are dragged.

The game sound should include an intro sound effect, and few menu songs.

I think we have to implement a game settings overview, where change resolution and at least music and sound volume.

With nouveau driver the game dosn't work (the main window is not update) so I make a little work around making the level class in a new window (for activate this work aroud use -Multiwindow parameter).

Some help is needed!

Someone should add onto the wiki page https://github.com/Mandarancio/OpenGOO/wiki/How-to-start the instructions about how to compile the game under windows platforms.

Wiki pages need a total revision. They are really important for new users and they are incompleted or hard to understand.

I just experimented a very ugly bug, when a goo is sticked and you try to drag will happen strange thinks!
To Do:

1. Understand the bug (when happen, which are the conditions etc etc)
2. Find the origin of the bug
3. Fix it!!!

I start to update the wiki.
My goal is to do a wiki for compiling and one for making level

A lot of strange things happen loading the level2.

1. Gooballons are jointed on starting (with the ground?). Sometimes both of them, but there's always at least one of them jointed.

2. Restarting the level a couple of times the game drastically slow down, I'd better say it's stuck and unplayable.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22799853/Level2%20error.png

in file dynamicgoo.cpp line 245
warning: suggest parentheses around ‘&&’ within ‘||’ [-Wparentheses]

It's not critical. Just pair of brackets will make this line perfect.

We want to provide the game with an easy installation process for the end user. As you should know the game will be multiplatforms, particularly on:

• Linux
• Windows
• Mac os

As we know Windows and Mac os platforms have no problem in providing an "easy" (next->next->next) installation procedure.

Linux has too much distributions, with different package managers and several desktop environments.

We want to develop a binary installer with a graphical interface and support at least the major linux distributions and desktop environments.

Nothing is impossible but our knowledge ends here.

Let's argue about it here.

As we know, the svg levels are the most important feature of the game.

In the original game the levels containes more kinds of goos and more effects, with active objects, wind and so on.

We should re-design the system providing a more expandable level creation system, keeping the process simple to the designers.

For example next to a svg file we can add a simple script that allows to animate the objects, apply effects during the gameplay or make something happen exactly when the designer wants.

The svg tags will be general, in this way we can expand the game with new goos or effect without changing the sintax.

I know this will take long time in design and we should recode the svg loader and the others things, but this will take the game somewhere!

What do you think about it?

I don't know if it's a problem with optimization, or just unintended recalculation of some speed parameter, but it happens.

Intro

We have to spend some time writing the documentation of the code, the code is day after day bigger, and the documentation quality is low (Ohloh review).

Doxygen

A very useful tool we can use is Doxygen that is a tool for generate (html but also qt compressed help) documentation.

Debian testing "Wheezy" 64-bit
4Gigs RAM, ATI RV630 [Radeon HD 2600XT]
libqt4-dev, libqt4-opengl-dev, libbox2d-dev installed

1- Box2D is located in /usr/include, *.h files that include Box2D.h say "#include <Box2D/Box2D.h>"
To fix,
--added "-I/usr/include/" to the "INCPATH" line in the Makefile (also, "-I." is in there twice)
--changed the include line in all *.h files to read "#include <Box2D.h>"
OR, copy Box2D.h into a directory named "Box2D" created in the source folder.

What about the use of QML for the graphics?

We can develop the menus with it and if it'll be a good idea we can recode the in-game graphics.

What do you think about it?

Implement a more understandable graphic, for understand better If I'm dragging a goo, if the goo under the cursor is movable or not etc etc..

HELP NEEDED!!

Please evrybody try the svg branch (to do it move in the project directory and do git checkout SVG) signal bug and try to debug it!!! THANKS!!!

Joints shouldn't go through the ground.
Take a look at this shot.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22799853/Error%20joint.png

Zoom should use the mouse pointer like the center reference point for the zoom.

www.opengoo.com and www.opengoo.org are assigned at fengoffice.com (ex open goo) an open source web office suite.
So which domain we have to chose? Some of the possible chose:
www.open-goo.org
www.projectgoo.org
www.gooproject.org
www.opengooproject.org
www.projectopengoo.org
www.planetgoo.org
www.gooplanet.org

Vote or add choose please!

Thanks!

Add a main interface to select the levels, credits and option. For not enter directly in the game....
Would you like try to make it?

We need a new intro screen. Someone should design a new animated intro screen, or change at least the background of the actual intro.

After finishing a level, I got the following error:

OpenGOO: /var/tmp/paludis/build/dev-libs-Box2D-2.2.1/work/Box2D_v2.2.1/Box2D/../Box2D/Dynamics/b2Island.h:54: void b2Island::Add(b2Body*): Assertion `m_bodyCount < m_bodyCapacity' failed.
Aborted

I will complete this issue when I will have more information

On level restart sometimes it happens that the sounds effects on goo's dragging aren't played. The music continues to work.

I start to watch at the fps performance (with the -Debug option you'll see it) of the game at we have some problem with the rise of the joint's number.
Is not a box2d problem but a graphic problem (I understand this because on the region where there is not joint we don't have this problem [but the box2d made always is computation]... I don't know If I explain it clearly).
Some suggestion?

Thanks!

On the qt-apps.org page of OpenGOO an user say that on is mac OpenGOO crash. This is the report:

Crashed on a Mac
Hello, this is wonderfull parody on World of Goo,
but it crashes on macs... I don't have so much
time to find and kill this bug, but I can show you
stacktrace of the application running.
Quote:

Temporarily application works in a 800x600 window.

I think it's a good idea to note down self-made issues, just to remember them, and to show to others "Yes. I know
about this problem. I'm working on it".

How implement a back trace for the Windows version of the game??
Can you Slyshyk help me?
It should be an easy think.. I need only that print the back trace information in case of crash on a output stream (for now in linux I'm using execinfo to print it on qWarning() stream)

Thanks!

I've encountered this problem.

At the and of the level, the goo is not sucked!

1. qMalloc seems to be deprecated. Also using it may lead to memory leaks.
2. If you need to pass an array of objects as pointer it's better to use QVector::data()
3. It's never used, so it can be removed. Or if it will be used again, it has to be improved.

OpenGOO needs new kinds of goos. Now we have normal goos, sticky goos and gooballons and they come from the original game.

We must think about new types of goos for OpenGOO and put them into the game story providing appropriate training levels.

Write you ideas here!

Thanks you.

I have launched an experiment on the wiki https://github.com/Mandarancio/OpenGOO/wiki/Collaborative-Story to write the story in a collaborative way! Help me in this!

The ground now is not really unpenetrable, I make a simple work around that say that when a dragged goo touch the ground that fall down, but is not a really nice solution, and also some times didn't work.
The right solution is not to fall down but to keep a the ground with out pass it.

Someone should add onto the wiki page https://github.com/Mandarancio/OpenGOO/wiki/How-to-start the instructions about how to compile the game under mac os platforms.
