That's not okay. Try SVN?

So, I started working on a new engine, it's mainly for moddable stuff. In the bin folder, there are the engine dlls and the libs, in the base folder there are the files for the game and the game.dll, and the root folder has the launcher and the lookup file for what mod should it start. The engine is in working state, but i'm going to add more stuff like resourcemanager, integrated console, lua support, logger and so on...

The code used to make a simple entity:
[csharp]
public class info_player : IEntity, IRenderable, IUpdateable
{
public string m_baseName { get { return "info_player"; } }
public string m_name { get; set; }

//These properties are set to what you added in parameters...
public bool m_renderEnabled { get; set; }
public bool m_updateEnabled { get; set; }
//This is automatically set
public IScene m_parent { get; set; }

Image img;
Sprite spr;

public info_player()
{
img = new Image(32, 32, Color.Red);
spr = new Sprite(img);

m_name = "whatever you want";
}

public void Render()
{
//Just draw the sprite
M_StaticGlobals.m_window.Draw(spr);
}
public void Update()
{
//there's a global class that contains the reference for window and other stuff...
//you can shorten it by making a reference to M_StaticGlobals.m_window.Input
if(M_StaticGlobals.m_window.Input.IsKeyDown(SFML.Window.KeyCode.S))
spr.Position = new Vector2(spr.Position.X, spr.Position.Y + 1);
//To close the window with Escape instead of taskmanager
if (M_StaticGlobals.m_window.Input.IsKeyDown(SFML.Window.KeyCode.Escape))
M_StaticGlobals.m_window.Close();
}
}
[/csharp]

The starting function, when the dll is invoked...
[csharp]
public void Run(string[] args)
{
M_System sys = new M_System();

//With scenes, you can group your entities, so you can have a mainmenu scene and the game scene if you want
M_Scene scene = new M_Scene(); //You can also make your own scenes with IScene

//Just adding the entity to the scene, the first param is the entity
//The second param is for starting the loading function of the entity (if the enity has ILoadable)
//The third param is to enable/disable rendering (IRenderable), and the fourth param is for enabling/disabling updating(IUpdateable)
scene.AddEntity(new info_player(), false, true,true);

//add scene to sys, nothing new
sys.AddScene(scene, false, true,true);

//to start the looping
sys.Run(args);
}
[/csharp]

TLDR: An (WIP) sfml engine with "clean" modding ability

EDIT: What's the problem layla?

On the topic of Artificial Intelligence, I plan on dedicating my whole programming life on trying to create a AI that can adapt to anything. I feel that it will be the future and that AI will be vital in the coming decades. I am currently trying to figure out a way on how to effectively design a software based AI.

eclipse (c++ and java) has built in version history, very nice and having the luxury of customising my IDE is IMO a huge plus (I have always both header and cpp files open in a splitscreen view, really really nice to program c++)

As tempting as it sounds, don't wear one of these yellow construction helmets.
You're not that kind of engineer.

Also, speaking of software engineer universities, I went to a information day at one near me, and they handed me a big stack of badly printed papers with all the information I would never want.
But they apparently had a really big problem stapling them, being unable to staple all ~100 of them at the same time. So what they did was daisy-chain staple them together which is the worst idea anyone has ever had.
It's hard to explain so I drew a picture.

I got a bunch of letters like that once in one of those huge yellow padded envelopes -

They literally folded them into it and crushed it until it fit and then mailed it to me and I had a hell of a time getting it all out

And it was junk mail

Oh hey, nice job! I was going to study there, but most of the courses I was interested in were in Dutch only (and even 5 years of exposure to the didn't manage to help me learn this throat disease of a language :v:).

And speaking of universities, I got accepted both at a Physics course at the University of Warsaw and a EE course at the Warsaw University of Technology. A coin toss made me decide for the latter.

I've decided to rework my build system's architecture (again. Last time I swear. Not that any of you are looking forward to it :v:). It's not a huge change aside from the fact that the older version depended on the interface and what not being 'pythonic'. Obviously F# is not pythonic. :v:

I looked around at some of the build systems that have popped up recently, and I realized that while my build system had the illusion of being task based, it was really just me hard-wiring some stuff, and then letting me add arguments and such (Though that is what a build system technically does). In hindsight, this was a bad idea. NAnt is alright, minus the whole "We're no different than Ant or Scons when it comes to file tracking" bit, (as well as the whole "your config files are in XML" thing), so I'm taking an approach a bit like theirs, but also incorporating a few things I've learned from writing my own, as well as looking at what Waf does (Being task based 'for realsies', as well as dependency graph building etc).

In some prototyping stuff, I wrote this:

with project('Simple') as simple:

  project.property['debug'] = True

  with target('clean') as clean:
    clean.description = 'remove all generated files'
    if exists('bin/Simple.exe'): clean.delete = 'bin/Simple.exe'
    if exists('bin/Simple.pdb'): clean.delete = 'bin/Simple.pdb'

  with target('build') as build:
    build.description = 'compiles the source code'
    build.mkdir = 'bin'

    with task('csc') as csc:
      csc.target = 'exe'
      csc.output = 'bin/Simple.exe'
      csc.debug = project.property['debug']
      csc.files = glob('*.cs')

  with target('run') as run:
    run.depend = project.targets.build
    run.execute = 'bin/Simple.exe'

Which acts a bit like

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Simple" default="run">
    <property name="debug" value="true"/>

    <target name="clean" description="remove all generated files">
        <delete file="bin/Simple.exe" if="${file::exists('bin/Simple.exe')}" />
        <delete file="bin/Simple.pdb" if="${file::exists('bin/Simple.pdb')}" />
    </target>

    <target name="build" description="compiles the source code">
        <mkdir dir="bin" />
        <csc target="exe" output="bin/Simple.exe" debug="${debug}">
            <sources>
                <include name="Simple.cs" />
            </sources>
        </csc>
    </target>
    
    <target name="run" depends="build">
        <exec program="bin/Simple.exe" />
    </target>
</project>

I guess one could argue that I should just modify NAnt, or maybe generate XML, but eff that, that's not fun :v:

They need one of those awesome industrial staplers they have at my school, they're like fucking spikes, that curve at the end, so it can staple like crazy amounts of shit.

Redoing the intro to my game, took the parallex idea (thanks Maurice I think?) I'm going to make the fire that was there a particle effect. Unsure what to do with the last frame stll.

[editline]26th August 2011[/editline]

I still have to put the text back in the new frames with a new font (Ubuntu-L looks like a placeholder.) so yea, just fixing it up to match the retroey style of the game itself.

[editline]26th August 2011[/editline]

Why I made an intro in the first place is a good question, but it's there so I may as well fix it.

This is more an 'art' post I guess, but it has to do with my game I've been working on, and I wanted C&C from people who have seen the vids I uploaded/played it as to if it fit the game's style.
