in my game, i am a ball rolling around and blowing other players up by laying bombs on the map... first, how do i set up game to be able to play other people online or linked (i have a website i can use for the server...) and how do i texture the spheres so that they are "made" of rock and each time they get hit, they crack a little, then eventually crumble???????????

also, whats some code for being able to lay the bombs on the map with restrictions to how many bombs each player has.... and how do i make cpu players that try to go after everyone else, not just the human player?????

i need code or tutorial sort of thing... im a noob at this and it's a school project due in november..... help please

That does sound like a very cool game. But you have many many questions. Probably best to start with the tutorials.

Just getting a ball to roll is a lot harder than it seems, a lot of your stuff is harder still!
The best way you could do the crumbling effect is to use memblock mesh editing, but that is very complicated. Another way is to make a couple of meshes and switch them when the ball is damaged.
An easier and probably more likely method is to make different textures to use on the ball; turn culling off, transparency on and use black on your texture where you want the cracks.

As for making the balls crumble? No idea

For the AI, have the balls wander around and when near others chase them.

If you are a total noob you wont be able to do all this in time.
I would suggest just trying to get the ball to roll.

You can do the online stuff... if you have the enhanced version of DBC

Did someone say 3D scanning on my desk, or was that just an AdBot?

@Sinani
I don't think he has time to learn all that, considering he is a noob.

@paulkay
To do that you would need to know about the basics, do the first couple of TDK's tutorials and then we'll be able to help you.

What she said

A^2+b^2=c^2, but D^2-A^2/g^2*t-r-o-u-b-l-e = w+i+t+h / a*(c*a/p^i+t+o+l)/T+rhyming+with/P+f/o*r^(p-o-o/l)

That equation has a quote from a movie in it. Find it for a cookie

@pixel
you use image tags like normal, for some reason it didn't work for me first time but I probably just messed it up.
If you want to put in an image you see (the Serdjo counter), right click and select "copy image location" (that's for FireFox anyway)

@INH
Just change the original banner for the new one and anyone who used it will have the updated version

But if the game is multiplayer only and you have no one to play that's a big letdown.

exactly, that's why I think Spore will be awesome because it is A-synchronous (I'm sure we all know what that means by now )
