i have to prepare a workshop. the title of the workshop is “game developing”. the participants, me included, are not game developers. it a little excurse from the software developing
so i thought, that in a part of the workshop (4 hours) we could make a small game with some free engine, and i found panda3D. even if its quite easy to learn some source of a small game would be very helpful. with google i found some games made with panda but the source code was not available. maybe this forum can help me
The workshop thing really sounds interesting. It could definately be a good idea.
You can find some short demos in the samples directory of your Panda3D distribution. Here is a list of all sample programs included.
Also, take a look at the Showcase and Coding Snipplets forum sections. Several small games have been posted there.
If you are looking for little sprints like this i recommend pyweek.org for python week long completion or www.ludumdare.com 48 any language completion.
thanks for the answers. i already throw a look at some of the samples included in the panda installation directory, but they seem to me a little bit too basic, for being interesting in a 4-5 hour exercise.
Now i will search through this forum and the page posted by treeform (it looks quite interesting).
if you are interested i will post the exercise and the experience that we made during the workshop (end of july) with it, so maybe it could be helpful for some other.
All my stuff there is open source. The most developed program is my space combat game. It’s a little more complex than what you could do in a few hours but it can give you some ideas.
