HISTORY: Baroque Gaming was founded in late 1999 by a group of three people who thought it would be cool to right a video game of some sort as an educational and fun project. The project was to become known as "Blocks and Ball," a three dimensional version of "Breakout" written for the PC using Direct3D. While it technically worked, it never went beyond a proof-of-concept phase and died a lonely death. Currently it is uncertain as to if it will even still compile. Then I realized that I was the only one doing any actual programming. Chris made all the models for the Game, and Robert messed with the DirectSound a bit, but I was doing the coding. Not that I cared at all, it just turned out that writing a game with three people while all involved were learning something new, was, to say the least, difficult. So I decided to write a game, it was to be a good game, a game for the ages. It was called "Snakes." This time I threw away all the 3d crap and just used DirectDraw. It is a game based on "Light Cycles" from Tron. Download a zip here, and it may even work. (DirectX required) It is full screen, if it is blank when you start, just hit space. Arrow keys control the right player W-A-S-D control the left. F12 exits the game. Unfortunately, it too foundered and after installing DirectX 8, it no longer compiles. Maybe someday I will mess with it again. |

PRESENT: Now I am working on a game called "Warring Worms." It too is based on the "Light Cycles" concept. Go to the Warring Worms page for more info. |
