Like I said in my last post, I am getting the foundations to a C-Like scripting language in place as the native scripting language for the engine. There are several reasons why I decided to go head first into a making it C-Like:
1- Its easier to write scripts in since it looks a bit like the rest of the engine
2- Its easily imported into Visual...

Reformatted


Welcome to my reformatted journal!

Reformatted? It looks like my other entries. That may be true from a cosmetic point of view, however I have changed the way I view my journal- thats the reformat.

From now on I'm not going to update the journal every now and then based on Nanostem developments but also from what I have personally...

In answer to the query I received from Mushu on my last entry:

I'm using it to systematically implement and test features of the engine that are on my checklist. 4 days ago I managed to get simple lighting to...

Finally I'm getting back into the project.

I sat down today and decided to start work on the editor. Basically I need to write a terrain editor for us and so far its been quite fun. Infact, version 0.1 of the editor (current version) has had the honour of my girlfriend actually enjoy playing around with it. Its about 6 hours of development into the...

Hey

I have two things happening at the same time at the moment, and they are both quite procedural:



For our course we have to learn the basics of MatLab but typical of me I'm throwing myself well into it. Its actually a very intuitive language for hardcore maths... thingys.
By the end of this semester each group, we've been split into 3 groups, has to...
