FPS Creator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FPS Creator is a commercial computer software program from The Game Creators for the PC that allows video game developers (or anyone else), to create first-person shooter video games without the need to use code. Users can create many levels and then build their game as an .EXE file with an assets folder; the only limitation being that the user can only use up to 50 levels in one .EXE.
FPS Creator works on the basis of a click and drag engine, in which users can select segments such as walls, floors, ceilings, doors and windows to create a level. This can then be populated by entities ranging from furniture, desk objects, lights, enemies, weapons and pick-ups (health packs, ammo etc). The user can also light their level using light-markers from which the colour and range of the light can be defined. Lighting in FPSC was recently upgraded with the implementation of "Dark Lights", a new light-mapped developed for one of The Game Creators other products, Dark Basic. Finally, sound zones, hurt zones and win zones can be used to make the users level more complete.

[edit] FPI Script
FPS Creator uses a simple trigger-based artificial intelligence language known as FPI Script, which was created exclusively for FPS Creator. Entities use Finite state machines - that is, they use a predetermined set of actions reacting to a predetermined set of states. The language consists of a simple if/then syntax, and a pre-defined list of conditional statements and commands.
[edit] Changes In Nationality
In Germany the blood color in FPS Creator was changed to green to allow them to have classification to release it to Germany. The reference of "Nazi" and the swastika had to be removed to avoid ethnic conflict.[citation needed].
[edit] FPS Creator X10
A new version of FPS Creator currently in development by The Game Creators for the Windows Vista platform, boasting greatly enhanced visuals and effects. It is the first software to make use of the newly released DirectX 10[citation needed]. A release date has not yet been specified although a demo is available from the official website.
