taBBall

taBBall is meant to be a very simple game used to demonstrate how to use Zen Engine.

After installing ZOSS, you can find an example game located in:

C:\dev\Zen\examples\taBBall

Use the taBBall.bat batch file to start the game. If you didn't install in the default location, make sure you edit client.xml, taBBall.bat and plugins.cfg and change C:\dev to the location where you installed ZOSS.

Press the "Q" button to quit, press the "F" button to fire a new ball, and press "A" and "D" to move the bat left and right.

It's a very simple game, and as you can tell, we don't have the physics completely worked out yet, and it's possible it'll even crash on exit.

If you have problems getting taBBall to execute, possibly look at the configuration documentation.

NOTE: This game has a few minor bugs in it. It will crash when you exit the game, the first ball doesn't collide correctly, and the bat doesn't really behave correctly. Use it as a simple example to help you get started making your own game.
