The Mana World Forums

We used the mana world in our programming class. We made some maps, items, mobs.
It helped us to undertand how to structure our projects, learn linux and many other things.
We'll post here the results. Thanks guy for making this engine!

Glad you enjoy it. We are currently making new changes to the engine to make it a better game engine. Would love to see the changes and maps. Even if it's screenshots.

Wow that is way cool. If any of you wishes to continue to learn stuff you are welcome to join in on the development. Is this something that will be reacurring for comming classes or was it only a one off?

I hope you guys enjoyed it and learned a lot!

Ty guys!

Every three months there is a new class with new students. This is the new class first week and I like the previous class results so for now TMW will continue to be part of the class asignments.

I'm very happy to see that tmwa has new commits, do you guys suggest to continue with athena in the class or jump to hercules?

I'd suggest TMWA as we will continue to support it because of the Magic system on the TMW server.

Its great seeing other people learning to use TMW. I bet the kids enjoy it.

This is awesome! Did the students have any pertinent comments (either from the developing or from playing)?

@wishin
It's so good to hear tmw athena is being maintained again! This is good to the class and the shibe world. Thanks and good luck!

@vitual reality
I heard a lot of students comment about the project structure and they learned a lot from the xml, scripting, compiling, client-server structure. They took a lot of those ideas into the other class assignments, that mostly consists on creating a game from scratch using a c++ graphics library. Sadly everything was done in a rush and somewhat messy because we didn't have much time to test it and play it in depth (also, the university has a stupid firewall that blocks tmw port). This trimester we are going to give the project more time so I hope everthing gets better and better.
