W.U. 0x25

-
Another week of fixes and changes. This time many of theme were done in managing of game objects. To say truth they weren't necessary to create game but when you develop something bigger than simple pacman you see that there is need to have some mechanism that are intuitive and thanks to that development later can be speed up (I spend week now but in perspective of all development I will save a lot more).

Other thing I work on is my movie widget. You probably remember it from some screens:


As you see it's very simple tool that allowed me to create movies of objects in engine. Not characters but more like moving platforms, opening doors and things like that.

I decided to finish this part of engine because I put it away in meantime of production (there were more important things to do then) but now I returned to it and do modernization of films. So here how it's look now :


It's still under development and will take some time to finish it fully but even now it's a lot more intuitive than older version. Of course this gui is only small part of bigger system behind it and most changes and time I spend working there.

So this time I wrote a lot more than normally do :] but now I will return to coding of films because there is still a lot to do. I will finish this post like almost always (I looked on archive and it's almost like tradition):

So till next week :]

Query commands execution

-
So like always start with problem description: I have some pool of command represented as enumerator. Each of command can have unique data that size can be different. I wanted to create system that allow me in easy way iterate over them and execute.  After some time I created this implementation: template<ECommands::enum cmd> bool execCommandTemp(ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data) { if (a_cmd == cmd) { SCommand<cmd>::execute((SCommand ::SData*)a_data); return false; } return execCommandTemp<(ECommands::ENUM)(cmd+1)>(a_cmd, a_data); } template<> bool execCommandTemp<ECommands::WRAP>(ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data) { return true; } bool execCommand( ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data ) { return execCommandTemp<(ECommands::ENUM)0>(a_cmd, a_data); } where SCommand look in example such a way: template <> st...

And as I said last time new preview is available: As you can see a lot has changed. Right now I mostly focus on gameplay so I do test of AI (some of them you can see on end of movie), changes in fight, items managing, fix some problem with physics and many other things. To say truth I don't remember them all :P So I'm going back to work and till next week.

Few words about remake

Time is something funny we don't notice when but it pass by so quickly. Few months ago I announced release of this pre-alpha build. Then it was so far away right now only a little bit more then month left. You probably wondering what changed in this time. So below you will find some summary of biggest changes (from my point of view): Component base architecture  Decision on big changes in engine architecture aren't easy. I think that transition from class base approach which looked like that : class CGameObject class CModelObject : public CGameObject class CPuppetObject : public CModelObject class CChcaracterObject: public CPuppetObject  to component base ( like in Unity 3D ) was one of the biggest and most problematic changes that I done in White Rabbit Engine in last years. I needed to change a lot of code, don't break the game that I have and in the same time change my approach to resolving problems.  Level Editor : New com...
