    NetDemo (Release 4.1)

    
      Download here: NetDemoR4.1.zip

Description: Demonstrates networking via UDP. Used as a homework assignment for the Game Design Initiative at Cornell University, this client-server network engine may eventually be incorporated into the GameX core. (* See new ShipNetDemo below *)
    
   
CirclesDemo (Release 2)

    
      Download here: CirclesDemoR2.zip

Description: Used as a homework assignment for the Game Design Initiative at Cornell University. Demonstrates 2D drawing of multiple images. Assignment is to implement one of several types of collision detection.		    
   
ShipNetDemo

    
      Download here: ShipNetDemoR5.zip

Description: The GameX ship demo, this time with multiple players networked! The ShipNetDemo is a prototype for future versions of GameX. It uses a UDP client-serve networking engine, supports automatic server detection and up to 16 players on a LAN. Rendering done with OpenGL, which will also be incorporated into future versions of GameX. Also demonstrates fading sound effects and alpha-blended particles systems with elastic reflections. Source code is included.
