Yeah. Yeah.

that is sad. Someone should tell him about Spring.

Nah, his own fault. had been looking at it since it was announced, it was never more than a steaming pile of shit (even the latest version is worse than what anybody with some skills would release as a first public alpha), blown out of proportions by his insane claims of prowess.

He had great comparisons on his site about what features palito has.. wait, its still here : http://palito.9hells.org/compare.html
Just look at his features, and what the game looks like, to see his state of mind. (excelent unit control. perfect zoom . LOL)

It's also inactive for a more than a year now... (2005/03/14)

But indeed the code looks like shit. I thought spring has a lot of globals, but springs code is very clean compared to palito's... that and spring is algorithmically just as good as commercial rtses, whereas he hasn't even implemented pathfinding it appears.

The Palito project is aware of Spring.

HOLY SHIT, THIS IS LIEK TEH GREETEST THING EVAH /sarcasm

Post by **jcnossen** » 06 Jun 2006, 21:47

Why?

Look at the 3d engine list at devmaster.net and start wondering why everyone makes a 3d engine when there are so many already.... it's fun!

I especially like the "other RTS games" column.

He has icons on the waypoints, and the little "hold alt to see all ranges" thing looks very handy.

Those features are like taking the effort to decorate a headless donkey though.

Wierd...

It's like Spring, but with without 3D units, graphics, multiplayer, AIs, pathfinding... ect.

And, if you look at the development page, he expects to sell it at some point.

He has a dream.
So it might be quite irrelevant if spring is "better" or not.
Apparently he is enjoying himself and that's the most important thing after all

I looked at this site a loong time ago, not very good imo. However, I wouldn't say sad either.

He values the destination over the journey.

He values the destination over the journey.

Pitty he rather not help code spring

Besides its his hobby project | baby he is coding. i.e taking pride in his work when he is aware of spring

Nothing like a bit of competation
