Where we are at the moment

Bashi and I were talking about design of the game engine.He is busy with his college courses, but he has been drawing diagrams in the mean time.He'll start working
on the code again hopefully this weekend.Currently we have been thinking of having a state manager that acts as behaviours called states.We also plan to have
game objects that store the game data handled by the Object Manager.

It seems that not anyone can decide on what on what can/should be done. So we are in effect trying to make the engine as
modular as possible. We are trying to make it so a coder can try out what you guys want.

All good news, Grape. Thanks for the update. I'll try and calm everyone down.

Anything recent?

Skeleton code, mostly engine stuff, and a point editor. And thats what i have so far.

Code:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Language      files          blank        comment          code
----------------------------------------------------------------
C++              9            96            189            486
C/C++ Header    12            67            120            267
----------------------------------------------------------------
SUM:            22            171            311            802
----------------------------------------------------------------

around 800 lines of code so far.

That's incredibly basic, but at least it proves we have something. Is it 2D or 3D, and at what, if at some point, will we have basic 'lines' connecting the 'points' together?

It's still looking good.

Lolwut command? What is it doing?

It's not going to be 3D until we utilize something akin to OpenGL or the likes. I could be wrong, however as openGL does support 2d. What graphics library are you using?

Opengl. The gui, is actually being rendered onto an OpenGL context. Alot of work has been put into getting things in place behind the scenes. Yes, it doesnt look like much. But something like

Spoiler:

(compliments of papergrape. (Math sucks.))

Doesnt just come out of nowhere.


I could display a few triangles on the screen with about 10 lines of code. But there isnt any point until i get a 2d spline editor working that i can interpolate at specific intervals to extrude to a 3d model.

Lol. Currently at game version 0.000001!

Actually it's closer to a thousand lines now.

955 lines of actual code, 381 lines of comments, and 283 blank lines.

Its not 'game' version, it's 'prototype editor' version .1! But then again I guess they're the same thing..

The point is, we're getting somewhere.

Yes. Any (good looking) progress is better than none. I think it's a good thing now that we have nearly rounded the corner of knowing what's in the game and what not, even if that vision still needs working on.
