Sol Streak 3D

Alright!  Arkanoid 3D has been renamed Sol Streak 3D.  The game is nearing completion! For which I am grateful. Programming the finishing touches and fine tuning the game seem to take just as much time as programming the guts of the program.  I am happy with the progress I have made and hopefully will be able to consider this game finished.

Since the last update I have decided to use the FMOD audio library for the background music and sound effects.  The music and effect where provided to me by my brother, aka Yukaflux.  I have created from scratch a simple particle engine, and fine tuned the collision detection and response.  I have also spent some time with blender to make some models that are a little more interesting that just cubes.  I added buttons to the main menu, that took some time to create using GIMP.

Like it's been said countless times, a picture is worth 1000 words. So here is a picture:


And if a picture is worth so many words, a video must be worth hundreds of thousands...


And to top it all off, here is a link to the page dedicated to the game, which contains a link to the download.
