  • Comments: Paul, the only one who has made some B3d skins are you! Most of us don't know how!!! That's why it's been empty for months.

    Ted,

    skins are just repeating textures. For example, there's a bunch of free ones at http://www.grsites.com/textures/.

    Still, you are right. I need to write some instructions about how to store them in the zip file properly so that the game can find them.

  • Comments: Pual could you please not delay the backgrounds contest again? I want to see who wins!!! Also will brm. 3d have music? Sound effects? The sound effects on regular broomsticks are great but you might want to consider some more realistic sound effects for broomsticks 3d. (if you want to).

    Daniel,

    thanks for your patience. I will announce the winners tonight and you are one of them! Congratulations!

    Yes, I do plan to have realistic sound effects in Broomsticks 3D.

    I wrote this guestbook myself using CGI. It's a perl script that runs on the server side. However, chances are that your web hoster does not allow CGI. If they do, let me know and I will let you have the script. I'm able to run CGI because I run my own web server! :-)

  • Comments: Hey Paul, remember me? Im from along time ago, and i still play your game. I would just love if you were to put the golden snitch in it though, it would be great. I also downloaded Broomsticks 3D, and its a really great game. It is kind of easy, but it is still great. I also like the 2 player action in the 2D game. It is really great, and this site of Quidditch is really great, keep up the good work!

    Devin,

    wow, you have been playing the game for more than a year, right?! You must be very good! :-)

    I have added the gold ball to the advanced demo for you, since you are such a dedicated Broomsticks player! :-) When you start the advanced demo, change the number of gold balls from 0 to whatever you want.

    Have fun!

    Daniel,

    yes, you are right. I am extremely busy and the homepage does need a facelift! When I have some time I may do that. However, more likely, I will work on the games some more! :-)

    Do you mean it does not run on your computer? You need a fairly powerful graphics card and OpenGL drivers installed for it to work.

  • Comments: Hey Paul. I just finished my characters for the 2nd Hp movie (and they worked great, yeah!!!) and i am going to start on the itmes soon! I also started the background but I will need to wait untill there is a picture of the Whomping Willow available. Maybe they will have it in the 2nd hp trailer! I will tell you when i am done! P.S. Everyone make some characters! It's a lot easier than it looks and it only took me about 3-4 hours to make a set of them!

    Excellent! I'll try them out and post them to the website.

    Good question. The older demo was based on a different engine that I added sound to. I have not added sound to the newer engine yet.

    Yep, that is on my TODO list. :-)

  • Comments: This is just an idea paul, but since i have nothing realy to do for the next three weeks before school starts, I though it would be cool if You made another "month" on your guest book but called it "news" then I and anyone else who new anything could write in any HP news in it. I think this would make it easier on hp fans because all the news and great gaming would be on one site, because i hate having to go to 2 or three info. sites and then go to a separate site for gaming, plus i think it would help bring in some more people to the broomsticks site. What do you think about this? of course i guese we could just write the news in this months folder. p.s. i would also be shure to include the source of the news.(so there's no wories!)

    Daniel,

    thanks for the offer. However, I want the site to be as simple as possible and focused on the games. Sorry. :-(

  • Comments: I love your game broomsticks 3d (even if I only have the demo) How many brooms are there. I can find 2 (not including the one you start with) but in the zip file there are 4. I think there should be a key (like in Broomsticks) to switch brooms after you get them and a key to change skin I may be only 9 but I know how hard programming is I have tryed it. I think it might be nice to have inventory for keys and brooms. I would like a copy of the source code. Please work on it.

    Dougall,

    thanks. Yes, the other 2 brooms are only in the Full Version.

    Thanks for the suggestion about switching brooms.

    As for programming, it takes a long time to learn but it is well worth it!

    Ah, ok. It's nice that he let you put it on there.

    I know just a little bit about flash. It is a plugin for web browsers to show content made by tools from MacroMedia. Go to www.macromedia.com.

  • Comments: Br3d is awesome! I can't wait until you can play an actual game! Paul I know your still working on it but I hope that sooner or later you will create an even faster broom! I want to go at least twice as fast as the fastest broom available so far! Also, Paul will you be able to play a game with no snitch or more than 1/2 red/blcak balls like on regular br.? Thanks!!!!

    Thanks Daniel!

    I'm hoping to get some time to work on it again soon. Sure, I can make a faster broom! :-)

    Yeah, I might do that too (choose number of balls).

  • Comments: Does NE1 here know exactly what an RPG game is? They say that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for Game Boy Color is an RPG game. Does that mean it's like a fighting type game?

    RPG stands for "role-playing game". An example is Zelda. RPGs usually have more strategy and puzzles rather than fast action.

    Yes, you can now get laptops with very good graphics. For instance, there are some laptops that come with special laptop versions of Nvidia graphics cards.

  • Comments: Paul, what language did you write broomsticks in? How did you write the .tga files?

    I just love your game only it expired
    (I hope my HTML works here)!

    Broomsticks is Java (a Java applet) and Broomsticks 3D is C++ and OpenGL. The tga files can be made with many paint programs such as photoshop, paint shop pro, gimp, etc.

    That means it is time to get the full version! :-) Or, you can download the demo again.
