I put together this prototype for a Gravitar clone in C with SDL and chimpmunk physics. Obviously video encoders hate sharp pixel graphics, but it does look and run pretty good
Is there any interest in a project like this? If I can find some collaborators I might actually flesh this out into a full remake, and maybe even expand it with new maps, ships etc. Obviously this system can accommodate a lot more geometry, so we could make some really cool stuff.
I'm actually reading the geometry straight off of an inkscape svg, it's quite flexible already.
So let me know if you can code in C and you agree that Gravitar was the best and we need to bring it back. If you just wanna look at the code or play with the prototype, I can put those up too.
