Somewhat off topic, but soo cool. Monaco LOS + LevelHead

[kinnik]

Hey yawl!  Thought I'd share my recent finds with my favorite programmer community.  The Line Of Sight stuff could be applicable to spelunky (i want it to be) but Levelhead is just too fun not to mention.

Monaco is a 4 player, coop, tile based thief game that's in dev right now.  It has a beautiful vector based line of sight algorithm that is explained in pseudo-code in the development blog (on facebook )  

Here's the los explination and pics (no video yet..?):

And a video of someone playing, unfortunately without the new vector LOS:

Is there a demo for Monaco?
Looks very fun.

[kinnik]

Not yet.  I've been watching their facebook. They are still quite a ways i think..

[BigBear]

Yes, there still is... Also, it seems kind of "messy" if you know what I mean.
I feel like I wont be knowing whats going on.

This is funny, I just today went to check out Monaco. I remember seeing the teaser video (with the level editor) a while ago. Is it only multiplayer though?

But...

Doesnt this go in discussion, and not spelunky? (boardwise)

[Arucard]

Yes, except where he briefly mentions line of sight (already a mod for?), but no one's really keeping track are they?
