W.U. 0x26

And again I don't know how to begin this week update. I have few words and don't know how to continue so I will like always do it in some stupid way :]

I still spend most of my time working on movie system. There was a lot of changes from last post and my ToDo list have still few of them. But everything start to take shape and now I trying to do some simple in game cinematic. Of course in meantime there were some unexpected behavior of game :] from crashes to moving everything on scene but not object that I want to animate.


Movie system isn't only thing I done this week. Other things I worked on are:
 
 *  upgrades in objects managing
 *  cleanups in code to speed up compilation
 *  some developers tools to trace rendering
 *  adding some editor functions
 *  and of course fixes a lot of them.

So as you see project didn't die :] 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.

Lets play : Good code / Bad code

-
If you try to find answer what good/bad code is, you won't find it in this post. I don't try to sell my beliefs and I'm sure you wouldn't like them anyway. To show you that, check this simple pieces of code: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void   CAnimationResource :: release (  void  ) {      SAFE_DELETE ( m_privateData ); } I use void when function don't use any arguments. I know this useless and do nothing but I just like look of it (Personal preference). Other example: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// CAnimationResource :: CAnimationResource (  const   wrResourceID &  a_id ,  IResourceManager *  a_manager  )     :  CResource ( a_id )     ,  m_manager ( a_manager ) { } I using prefix  a_ for arguments of functions and use this style of organizing initialization...
