I have not been here for some months, but luckily I now took a look. I have not done anything more with the game than the newest zip-file. I have no education in designing program, especially such a game. Therefore thought that persons with that knowledge could continue if they want. Even if the programs structure or code should be different, they maybe can have something to build upon. Ask me more if you want. To Evan: I have a gameloop, and the players are on ice. They don't do anything more than waiting for face off. Animations works. No collision handling is implemented. No actions are implemented. But a structure for it is there. And the structure for displaying on screen was not fine. As far as I can remember.

I have changed, continued, and fixed errors in the code. Use file below for developing the game. Some with gameprogramming knowledge will possibly know how the game should be structured. nhl.zip

I do not know why you get a black screen. You could maybe run the program in a terminal, "cmd", and see if you get some error printed out. The program shall be run in the main directory, not in "src/", so it can find "share/". And I also think you shall have a file "SDL.dll" in the main directory, but that is for Windows. I used Linux, and can run "./compile_it" to make it working. I can c++ programming, but I do not have any big gameprogramming experience. The current screen is 14 players standing at point (0,0). And the graphic is taken from NHL 98. if swos want to learn c++ programming, I will recommend the book "Accelerated C++". It's mainly text, but you learn the how to use c++ very well.

I started the programming of a hockey game, but I don't want to proceed. I think that others could continue the game. It is written in c++ and uses SDL for graphic. Currently the work would be to write the rest of the gameloop and get more animations. It could also happen that some of my code is wrong; I have not tested all. Licensed under GPL.
