Scorched Earth for the PSP v0.02b
Romshark has just released his first attempt at a port of Scorched Earth to the PSP v0.02b. Here is what he had to say:
Well, here it is. My first game for, well, any system! This is an ATTEMPT at making a version of Scorched Earth for the PSP. Scorched Earth is a classic PC game from the DOS days where two or more tanks shoot a variety of
weapons at each other, ranging from simple baby missiles, to molten napalm, to full scale nuclear weapons!This is a very early version (I call it v. 0.02b) . Here are a few key differences in this early build that I hopefully can overcome in time to make more like the PC version:
- No sound
- Only two tanks
- Only one type of land (not lightning or anything like that)
- No “talking tanks” (tanks displaying phrases when shooting or dying)
- Only Baby Missles, Missles, and Nukes available.
- What weapons you have are unlimited, and both players have all of them available.
- No wind.
- Falling tanks not implemented (attemped, but doesn’t work yet).
- No scoring system.
- No cool tank death effects.
- No menu system.
- All human players (anyone up for writing some Artificial Intelligence for this game?)
- ect.
If you want to try implementing some of this yourself, go ahead. I’d rather be playing a good working version than spending weeks trying to get things working myself! Take a look at the source; I’m not an expert programmer, believe me! Any help on the analog stick usage would be nice. I also hope to add some sort of Wi-Fi play feature in the future, but that’s most likely a ways off, if ever.
You can get it in our PSP Download section [here]
