This is technically a sequel to the first Bumfight (Source, EXE), made in QBASIC a while back, which was turn-based, looked awful, but was actually somewhat fun. This one's just as dumb, except with marginally better graphics! Allows splitscreen multiplayer up to four players, along with various game modes separate from just fighting, such as a lava race. This is yet another project I made pretty much from scratch just to see how games like this work, but the rendering was steeped deeply in OpenGL 1.0 concepts so it wasn't very useful to continue developing it.
I've used a lot of the particle physics ideas in future work, including a stable stepping accumulator to ensure nonlinear effects (forces, acceleration) will behave exactly the same on different machines regardless of frame rate or lag, part of its initial attempt at networked multiplayer code. It's fun, but sadly incomplete in many ways. Though given it's fairly offensive subject matter, that may be a good thing.
