A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game. (lemmy.world)

The old program is unfortunately long lost, and I deleted the textures and such, leaving only this screenshot as proof this test project existed.

This was my project learning how to do simple programming in a first person shooter. The enemy is a skeleton I pulled from the internet, the rest of the visuals I whipped up quickly. It wasn't about havingt great visuals, this was closer to trying to make a greybox to learn programming. I made this project with the goal of having simple enemy interactions and working health.

Thanks to my inability to program I ended up with a player character that could be killed, but the enemy did not have working health. The bullets of the gun were actual projectiles and with some settings actually interacted with the skeleton and pushed it back. The final state was a skeleton that was smart enough to chase the player if the player appeared in the field of view, and attack the player if close enough. The player had infinite full auto fire that could push the skeleton back without killing it.

This reminds me of my first game, a Zelda arrow shooting clone that we built in Microsoft XNA. What was this built in?
