Game Info
Cyclone was released first on the spectrum platform by Vortex
software in 1985 and later ported to the Atari. The game saw the user pilot a
helicopter, whose task was to collect vital medical supplies, located on
numerous islands, in the face of a colossal hurricane. The remake of this
classic game aims to provide the retro gamer with an improved version in full
3D! For those of you who can't remember cyclone (or have never heard of it!) ,
here are some screenshots of the original, along with screenshots of the remake.
Overview
The remake of cyclone was produced for my final year project at the University
of Hull, and was completed, along with a 20000 word dissertation, within 6
months. some of the engine features are:
-
Generation of 3D terrain from a 2D heightmap rendered using vertex buffers.
-
Loading of textured 3DS file formats.
-
Ability to customise the world using simple text files (scripts).
