BEATengine update thread

Thank you!

Keep up the good work, Bashi- and keep thinking about the overall engine info that I requested.

Oh yes should add I would be more than happy to beta test


Just a question out of interest, if one was to compile the data over at the code repository, would there be anything to show a non-programmer?

This is great! This is the first step... Only a few hundred thousand to go

No, i'm working from a separate branch of the trunk on sourceforge, once there is something to show, i'll merge.

But i'm using directx, and so in order to compile the program you need to download close to a gig of libraries..

Patience is a virtue

Not really. It's a slightly larger number. Like a couple of million. But we'll do it, step by sluggish step : D

One question, I beleive it was consensus that the game should be (multi)threaded, am I right?

We are getting somewhere!

Why not use OGL? Much better and faster

What consensus? Threads are purely programmatic, and situation based.

Do you know that for sure? They both do the exact same thing. I like openGL because it's c++ and cross platform. Not to mention it takes a while to convert your graphics api.

OGL is cross platform and performs generally better, M$ hype is what is keeping dx alive. WHy do you think NASA uses OGL? WHy do you think all non-gaming graphics projects uses OGL?

Also i heard people here uses macs and linuxes? It would simply not work out to have directx in the main engine then.

You caught me red handed. I'm an ubuntu running unix dwelling windose hater.

Anything I build will be ultra low level I.E. makefiles and g++.

I don't care for visual studio much.

I'm pretty decent with openGL, and I was really just wondering if you had grounds for your claim.

Okay! problem solved.

I need to know, this is the proper way to include OpenGL on apple platform?

Code:

#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <OpenGL/OpenGL.h>
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
#else
#include <glut.h>
#endif

I guess it depends on where your header files are.. Is __APPLE__ defined automatically? With my code I usually define WINDOWS right from the makefile.

mhm i tested it and it worked. thanks.
