I know there is a massive hate-Twitter bandwagon (as well as a massive <3-Twitter bandwagon :p), but it's quality shit if you follow interesting people

Based on how far it has come already, I am fairly convinced that nullsquared is a finisher.
I'm working on an Entity and animation system. Right now I'm finishing up loose ends when parsing the animation files.
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Animations>
<!-- each state has an animation sequence -->
<IDLE path = "pathtoimage\image.png" repeating ="1">
<Frame x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" repeat ="1" />
<Frame x="20" y="0" width="100" height="100" repeat ="1" />
<Frame x="30" y="0" width="100" height="100" repeat="1" />
</IDLE>
<!-- etc -->
<RUNNING path = "pathtoimage\image.png" repeating ="1">
<Frame x="0" y="0" width="200" height="100" repeat="1" />
</RUNNING>
<PIMPSLAP path ="pathtoimage\image.png" repeating ="0" nextloop= "IDLE" onexit = "IDLE">
<Frame x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" repeat ="1" />

eww xml

What the hell is wrong with xml?
[QUOTE=Jallen;18756232]Based on how far it has come already, I am fairly convinced that nullsquared is a finisher.[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately, from what I've seen of other projects, likelihood of completion has little to do with how much of the project is finished.

IMO it looks a bit messy, and reminds me a bit of HTML. However, it is still extremely useful.

XML is not good. It's overly verbose, complicated in places, doesn't handle native types, can't be parsed into a simple unambiguous data structure in any language by anything (no, .net's xmlseraliser is not good).
Everyone should just be required to parse INI files. Fuck everything else >:(

For my purposes, it is good. I'm not serializing and sending them off anywhere, I'm just using them to store animation data.

you forget that fact that it is a standard. Not based on how good it is but by how many people use it.

I don't forget that at all. You can standardise crap. And lots of people can use crap too.
That said, of course XML has its uses, hence it is used. But I'd much prefer something defined in an actual language. Like JSON. It can be parsed extremely simply into a JavaScript object since it is JavaScript. This methodology floats my boat.

Thought I'd make a quick little video for you guys on what a buildit script looks like. It's nothing spectacular, but if any of you are interested in what does what, it wouldn't hurt to watch this. Also, realize the sound gets out of sync near the end. And Yes I'm talking.

[url=http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001114.html]Jeff Atwood has a good article on the topic[/url].
Ultimately, though, I think it's just going to come down to whatever you find easiest and best to work with in a given circumstance, whether it's INI files, XML, YAML or anything else. When I used to work with .NET projects, I'd just dump everything in INI because it was easy and straight-forward to work with and my projects were very rarely that complex that they'd need anything more powerful.
If I was going to find something to store data in nowadays while I'm developing my game in C++, I'd probably go for XML myself or write data in a binary format - not as easy to modify, but easy to code. Works for me.

Thats pretty awesome, good work!
Working on some random stuff, looking some more into random generation and animation. Made a little thing that will load stuff according to a configuration file, looks like this:
[code]
image player media\\player.png
image enemy media\\enemy.png
animation player_walk media\\ani\\walk.ani
[/code]
why not media/player.png?
the only OS that i've seen that uses backslashes is Windows.

Well yeh you could do that, its up to you really. I havent' because I'm on windows and its what I am used too.
doesn't media/player.png work on windoes too?

If you're using a program that translates the / to a \, like Explorer, yes.
[QUOTE=arienh4;18762785]If you're using a program that translates the / to a \, like Explorer, yes.[/QUOTE]
That's done at the Windows API level, thus virtually any program on Windows will work with both forward and backward slashes.

Oh, alright, I stand corrected. I just checked, and it works in command-line too, so yes, it will work as well.
Just aded .rc file compiling for MinGW to my build system, so your applications can have icons now. :woop:
On a side note, I'm looking at using [url]http://chaiscript.com[/url] for the scripting language in my Progenitor project.
The downside is that it's a header only implementation, but for what the scripts will be doing it probably won't matter performance wise.

Got the script, figured out. Now it's all about implementing the damn thing.
