  • Creating some development scripts.
  • Configuring continuous builds machine (I still working on this)
  • And probably few other things I don't remember.
New problems

This year didn't started too well for me. The 2nd January my hard drive broke. I needed to recreate whole working setup. If this wasn't enough my copy of data was on external HDD which after connecting ask me if I want to format it because file system is corrupted. So I had fun.

Finally after few days I was able to recover most of data from hard disk and repair file system from external one. I could finally work normally, but well few days lost. Good thing that I use this occasion to improving the way of configuring new computer for project.

New announcements

There will be few announcement this year. I know some of them already and some are still prepared but about them later. 

The fist one is with this year Little Big Adventure Remake will get new logo : 


And wit this I will finish this first 2015 post. To the next time.

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...
