superstartrek VS OpenLara

1) I love the aesthetics and the game play. First time I learned about this was reading a copy of 101 basic computer games during summer break. I didn't have a computer back then but was fascinated by the book, so I pried my parents until they got me one just so that I could program games.

2) I ported the game to a mobile web app/PWA [1] trying to keep the original feeling, but the lack of a usable keyboard meant the UX had to be drastically changed. Also I'm super-proud of the software architecture I picked which is all event-driven and applies the Model-view-presenter-controller pattern [2]

A JSP implementation (with tag files!) based on an interpreter instead of a compiler https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/fauxjsp

A Super Star Strek re-implementation https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/superstartrek

A library that maps Java interfaces on REST services https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/spring-rest-invoker

Mainly because I needed/wanted/could and there wasn't already something around that did the job.

I maintain a web port [1] of super star trek. I need help with UX, graphics, game play and fresh ideas.

I didn't notice anything suspicious in his explanation of how the AI works, though he glosses over navigation. I assume he is using the OpenLara engine, in which case he easily has access to level geometry or other parts of the game at runtime that would normally be inaccessible. However when watching the AI play, I got the impression there was two much overlap between what the AI does and says. For example, based upon what I understand of the explanation of how the AI works, the part playing and the part talking are not interacting with each-other. Voice lines are simply generated based upon what is on screen and there is no true common intent behind the AI's actions and speech. This makes me suspect the entire video is simply a scripted imitation of AI.

You can try source engine ports like xash3d diii4a Serious Sam Freedoom OpenLara Quad Touch and Source Engine

It is, it’s the OpenLara engine, so it’s running native code rather than emulating the PSX version.

OpenLara

You can play it online here, the github link on the page also has a downloadable version that plays offline and works with the controller. http://xproger.info/projects/OpenLara/
