[My GUI]

I has event handling.

Rolcat.

[Further down the rabbit::hole]

I like the editor's functionality, although I must say, you're still failing to convey an explorer-like experience. Already 2 icon sets and only 4 icons.

Hyperhext transfer protocol - way too cool.

[Some sample LE3 code]

I have an idea for exposed constructors function.

Have the default function be LoadMesh and return a Mesh (null on failure), this being exposed.

Now, in the C++ API, make a Mesh constructor:

Mesh::Mesh()
{
   if (!this = LoadMesh()) throw new LoadingException();
}

 

Oh wait, can you assign this in a C++ constructor?

[Some sample LE3 code]

@Josh's last post: Ew, no, keep your current implementation.

@Roland: You beat me to everything I want to say. I can only +1 all of your posts.

[Some sample LE3 code]

So, if we have 10 models to load we will need write try/catch 10 times for each model, right?

try
{
   Model* a = new Model("a.gmf");
   Model* b = new Model("b.gmf");
   Model* c = new Model("c.gmf");
   Model* d = new Model("d.gmf");
}
catch (LoadingException)
{
   // Do something.
}

 

But as Josh pointed out, constructors and exceptions can not be exposed to other languages, so that design can not be done.

[Some sample LE3 code]

I am 200% for try/catch and the pointer-oriented syntax. For those who are not used with the -> operator, you've been in garbage-collected environments for way too long

 

Actually, if the syntax turns out like what I posted + try/catch/Exceptions, I might even switch to C++ for development.

 

Introduction to pointers: Link

Introduction to exceptions: Link

[Some sample LE3 code]

I thought the demonstrated syntax was C, I wonder how you get classes in there Lumooja/Roland.

Besides, the "object.Load" approach is really bad, as Josh demonstrated.

 

Also, I also want to precise I would use pointers and not objects, but Josh beat me to that too.

Lastly, I don't know why you fear constructors, Lumooja. Setting the graphics properties after its creation implies that it exists but is empty, which is strange in my opinion.

 

Here's my ideal code syntax for C++, not C (I feel Josh's one is perfect for C).

Graphics* graphics;
World* world;
Mesh* box;
Camera* camera;

graphics = new Graphics(OpenGLGraphicsDriver());
graphics->Create(1024, 768, 4);

world = new World();

box = new Box(1, 1, 1); // Box : Mesh
box->GetMaterial()->SetShader(new Shader("Shaders/minimal.shader"));
box->GetMaterial()->SetColor(new Color(255, 0, 0, 255));
// Basically Color is a Vector4 represented as bytes

camera = new Camera();
camera->SetClearColor(new Color(0, 255, 0, 255));

box->SetPosition(0, 0, -2, false);

float yaw = 0.0f;

while (!window->IsClosed())
{        
   yaw++;
   box->SetRotation(yaw, 0, 0, false);

   camera->Render();
   window->Flip();
}

Love the Microsoft-office badge effect.

[Internet Explorer 9]

I found it slow on startup and slow on new-tab. The tab bar was overly large, the tabs lacked integration (looked squary, out of place, 2D). Actually, everything looked flat. I've had render errors on the first 3 pages I opened. I'm back to Chrome in less than 10 seconds.

[Picking Up St(r)eam...]

Glad to learn about the animated texture features. With transparency and lighting layers, I can only see rivers and waterfalls.

[Double rainbow all the way across the sky]

??So you are actually going to change the command syntax after all this time? Literally invalidating every existing line of code that has been currently written with the current command syntax? So where is the new command syntax going to be kept at? The wiki? So that means every command will have a listing for LE3.0 syntax and LE2.XX syntax?

Ctrl+H

Find: "EntityPosition"

Replace By: "EntitySetPosition"

[Double rainbow all the way across the sky]

This isn't the first time I've done multisampling, but until now it hasn't been possible to use with deferred rendering. It's now possible to combine these techniques with OpenGL4. You'll have our awesome lighting combined with high-quality 16x antialiasing for raytracer-like graphics. Oh yeah, multiple layers of transparency, each with proper light and shadows, will also be supported.

 

Great! I've been dying for that for so long!

Great post, great mentality, I just can't wait for LE3. L3? IDK. The shortening is cool.

[Week 3]

Client prediction is a must, although I don't know if it's up to the engine to handle it. I would surely like it though.

[Week 2]

I was going to quote all the sentences accompanied with a +1, but in the end, it's shorter to say:

 

-Good inheritance design

-Thanks for the roadmap

-Great news for the DLL/C#

-Yay for the streaming terrain.

 

Therefore, +>9000

 

I've never seen an infinite streamed world with the density and complexity I want, but Leadwerks seems to do best when we do really aggressive development.

Percfect.

[Friday]

I'm curious as to how or why you generate a header file, especially with a parsed string's name.

Other than that, I hope it can save you time, but I also hope the source license will be available in C++.

[Day 1]

That really made me laugh

No really. Are you?

[Leadwerks Blog Post 11: Welcome to The Zone]

pureLIGHT won't work on an outdoor scene, which makes it useless for some scenes like this one.

[Not Time]

Only thing I can think of is Elfen Lied. But I doubt it.

[Component prefabs]

Leadwerks is in desperate need of some near game-ready tools, prefabs, greater control over painting. Things that both SDKers and drag-n-droppers can use.

+1.

 

Wait +2.

Haha got Twitted. Thanks Josh.
