I'm working actually on SafeAreas representations. (and perharps a Fog Of War, but really difficult)

You can find on the downloads web page of Project Hoshimi web site two tissues I plan to use for Round2.

New update of my XNA viewer.

You can see explosions now (yeahhhhhh) and shadows:

And at the end of the game, the results:

Streams also have been optimised.

You can download it there.

Thank's for your comments.

I release today a new version of my XNA viewer. Take a look here:

There is a lot of improvements ;-)

First, to install it, you must have:

• The latest version of DirectX 9.0,
• XNA Refresh 1.0,
• And, of course, Project Hoshimi SDK

Then, download PHXNA Viewer. (9Mo).

Unzip this download in the viewers directory (%ProjectHoshimiSDK folder%\viewers).

Launch Project Hoshimi, go to Options section and select PHXNAViewer as your default viewer.

Then, ENJOY ;-)))

What's new in this version?

On the bottom left, you can see a mini map of the tissue. There is a new button which allow you to show/hide points infos.

You can now select a Nanobot by right clicking on it. On the bottom right of the screen, if you click on the Selected Bot button, you'll see in real time informations about this bot. Clicking on it and the camera will be centered on it.

You can see now streams (but performances are not good and I still don't like it).

Explosions are not yet implemented.

I hope you'll appreciate this new viewer and if you have any comments, please, tell me.

(I'm also very interested in the framerate).

Sorry for the delay but you can download it now:

A new article that explains score calculation and who is the winner in a Player vs Player game:

Read it on www.project-hoshimi.com web site.

If you are in Expert Mode, you know that you must upload your .dll file. But what is the exact file you must upload in Dicovery or Intermediate Mode?

This article explains everything (I hope so...)

Small Competition 1 is now over. You can have a look at results here.

Calculating distances is important in Project Hoshimi, especially if you create your own Pathfinding algorithm (and if you want to win Project Hoshimi, you MUST create your own pathfinding algorithm ;-))).

So RaptorXP (last year winner) wrote a new article about that.

Take a look here.

Wahoo, il just take a look at the first results of Small Competition 1 and actually, the best AND maximum score possible was done with a Discovery Strategy.

Congratulations to Vasiljevski who did it ;-)))

Thomas, from Microsoft France, have created a great trailer for Project Hoshimi. He just send me a high resolution version of it this afternoon.

So you can see it on: http://www.project-hoshimi.com/downloads.aspx
