Also will brm. 3d have music? Sound effects? The sound effects on regular broomsticks are great but you might want to consider some more realistic sound effects for broomsticks 3d. (if you want to). Daniel, thanks for your patience. I will announce the winners tonight and you are one of them! Congratulations! Yes, I do plan to have realistic sound effects in Broomsticks 3D.

It's a perl script that runs on the server side. However, chances are that your web hoster does not allow CGI. If they do, let me know and I will let you have the script. I'm able to run CGI because I run my own web server! :-)

Name: Devin Homepage: N/A From: Canada Date: Fri Jul 12 11:26:40 CDT 2002 Comments: Hey Paul, remember me? Im from along time ago, and i still play your game. I would just love if you were to put the golden snitch in it though, it would be great. I also downloaded Broomsticks 3D, and its a really great game. It is kind of easy, but it is still great. I also like the 2 player action in the 2D game. It is really great, and this site of Quidditch is really great, keep up the good work! Devin, wow, you have been playing the game for more than a year, right?! You must be very good! :-) I have added the gold ball to the advanced demo for you, since you are such a dedicated Broomsticks player! :-) When you start the advanced demo, change the number of gold balls from 0 to whatever you want. Have fun!

Name: Daniel Homepage: From: Date: Thu Jul 18 12:27:03 CDT 2002 Comments: Paul I forgot, about how long does it take to recieve Broomsticks? P.S. Broomsticks is a lot better than the V3 broomsticks thing!!!!!! Within the US it should only take 2-3 days.

Name: Daniel Homepage: From: Date: Thu Jul 18 12:30:52 CDT 2002 Comments: Hey Paul I Know you mut be extremely busy but i think that the Broomsticks homepage needs a facelift! Even if you were to just change that background color to a darker blue or another color! That wouldn't take long wound it? Just A Suggestion!! Daniel, yes, you are right. I am extremely busy and the homepage does need a facelift! When I have some time I may do that. However, more likely, I will work on the games some more! :-)

Do you mean it does not run on your computer? You need a fairly powerful graphics card and OpenGL drivers installed for it to work.

Name: Daniel Homepage: From: Date: Sat Jul 20 13:42:01 CDT 2002 Comments: Hey Paul. I just finished my characters for the 2nd Hp movie (and they worked great, yeah!!!) and i am going to start on the itmes soon! I also started the background but I will need to wait untill there is a picture of the Whomping Willow available. Maybe they will have it in the 2nd hp trailer! I will tell you when i am done! P.S. Everyone make some characters! It's a lot easier than it looks and it only took me about 3-4 hours to make a set of them! Excellent! I'll try them out and post them to the website.

Name: Daniel Again Homepage: From: Date: Mon Jul 22 15:20:11 CDT 2002 Comments: Hey Paul again, i know you're busy but how soon do you expect to have sound for broomsticks 3d? And how come the br.3d demo has sound but the full version does not? Good question. The older demo was based on a different engine that I added sound to. I have not added sound to the newer engine yet.

Name: Daniel Homepage: From: Date: Mon Jul 22 17:19:43 CDT 2002 Comments: Paul is there any way you can change the controls for br.3D because it is really awkward to have to hit enter to throw the ball. Couldn't you just click the mouse button to throw it? Yep, that is on my TODO list. :-)

Name: Jane Homepage: From: Date: Thu Jul 25 21:54:27 CDT 2002 Comments: How brooms are there on brm.3d? 4? In the demo there is the default broom and 2 special brooms. In the full version there are are 3 special brooms and invisibility.

Sol, I'm glad you and your brothers are enjoying the full version. I hope your mom is ok.

Name: Daniel Homepage: From: oklahoma Date: Fri Jul 26 14:57:03 CDT 2002 Comments: This is just an idea paul, but since i have nothing realy to do for the next three weeks before school starts, I though it would be cool if You made another "month" on your guest book but called it "news" then I and anyone else who new anything could write in any HP news in it. I think this would make it easier on hp fans because all the news and great gaming would be on one site, because i hate having to go to 2 or three info. sites and then go to a separate site for gaming, plus i think it would help bring in some more people to the broomsticks site. What do you think about this? of course i guese we could just write the news in this months folder. p.s. i would also be shure to include the source of the news.(so there's no wories!) Daniel, thanks for the offer. However, I want the site to be as simple as possible and focused on the games. Sorry. :-(

Name: Dougall Homepage: From: Australia Date: Fri Jul 26 23:14:56 CDT 2002 Comments: I love your game broomsticks 3d (even if I only have the demo) How many brooms are there. I can find 2 (not including the one you start with) but in the zip file there are 4. I think there should be a key (like in Broomsticks) to switch brooms after you get them and a key to change skin I may be only 9 but I know how hard programming is I have tryed it. I think it might be nice to have inventory for keys and brooms. I would like a copy of the source code. Please work on it. Dougall, thanks. Yes, the other 2 brooms are only in the Full Version. Thanks for the suggestion about switching brooms. As for programming, it takes a long time to learn but it is well worth it!

Name: Daniel Homepage: From: Date: Tue Jul 30 09:33:59 CDT 2002 Comments: To question about me getting a new computer, my dad got one for HIMSELF about a year ago, but he let me put broomsticks 3d on it. This is off subject but do you know anything about Flash. It's an animation software right? Can you just buy it at some computer store? Thanks!! Ah, ok. It's nice that he let you put it on there. I know just a little bit about flash. It is a plugin for web browsers to show content made by tools from MacroMedia. Go to www.macromedia.com.

Name: Daniel Homepage: From: Date: Tue Jul 30 12:43:06 CDT 2002 Comments: Br3d is awesome! I can't wait until you can play an actual game! Paul I know your still working on it but I hope that sooner or later you will create an even faster broom! I want to go at least twice as fast as the fastest broom available so far! Also, Paul will you be able to play a game with no snitch or more than 1/2 red/blcak balls like on regular br.? Thanks!!!! Thanks Daniel! I'm hoping to get some time to work on it again soon. Sure, I can make a faster broom! :-) Yeah, I might do that too (choose number of balls).

Name: Rachel Homepage: From: Date: Wed Jul 31 09:33:09 CDT 2002 Comments: Does NE1 here know exactly what an RPG game is? They say that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for Game Boy Color is an RPG game. Does that mean it's like a fighting type game? RPG stands for "role-playing game". An example is Zelda. RPGs usually have more strategy and puzzles rather than fast action.

Name: Michael Homepage: From: england Date: Wed Jul 31 12:56:08 CDT 2002 Comments: Hi Paul it's michael again I might be geting a new grafic card when I move house but I was on the labtop when I sent you thatone about the grafic card but I might not be able to get a nother one to the lab top but I know that the my other two computers have exelant grafics but is it possble to get a good grafic card on a labtop. Yes, you can now get laptops with very good graphics. For instance, there are some laptops that come with special laptop versions of Nvidia graphics cards.

Name: Dougall Homepage: From: Australia Date: Wed Jul 31 17:17:49 CDT 2002 Comments: Paul, what language did you write broomsticks in? How did you write the .tga files? I just love your game only it expired (I hope my HTML works here)! Broomsticks is Java (a Java applet) and Broomsticks 3D is C++ and OpenGL. The tga files can be made with many paint programs such as photoshop, paint shop pro, gimp, etc. That means it is time to get the full version! :-) Or, you can download the demo again.
