I've barely touched my engine in 2 weeks or so. I've had another thing enter my life. I don't even know why I'm posting. I don't know if I'll continue my 4e4 project, but at least my engine is at a good stopping place. It loads and renders models and stuff, so at least it works.

I came so close to winning a 1986 Mazda Rx-7 Engine for just $75!!!!!!
eBay Auction
I held back because I didn't know how much shipping would be for a ~230 pound hunk of steel and iron. I found out that it would cost over $500 for FedEx, and UPS and USPS didn't accept anything that heavy.

During work the other day, I noticed that an old, retired, work truck read "V8 7000."
So I was thinking "A 7 litre V8?!!!1!!11!! Hot Dog!"
So I approached the front of it and noticed a very large hood opening lever thing just sticking out of the grill right in front of me.
It was tempting. I don't th…

Well, I think my estimation of finishing my engine within a "~month" may be slightly off [grin]
Now that I think about it, I think dgreen02 said: "~month or two".
Two months is more like it, but I think I'd be able to pull this off if I really wanted to.
My engine's name is Starbreeze.

Somebody slap me because I have the urge to make my own....... engine!
I was talking to dgreen02 and I asked him how long he thought it would take to make a simple 3d engine composing of these vague requriments:
-A mesh loader
-lighting
-Input processing
-Sprites & Fonts
-Height maps
-Shadows

I am soo going to enter this. This will be my first contest, and this time, I want do a 3d game!
I was thinking of using Ogre, but it's at least 30 megs and I'm on, brace yourself, DIAL-UP!

Ok, here is my obligatory "sorry, haven't posted in a while" entry.
What am I up to? Well, I finished both of my class projects... kinda.
I didn't get to do the game for my networking class, I just made a little chat program instead (time restraints, duh).
I did finish the other game though. And it is…

Thursday, May 12, 2005, Jeff Hopkins, otherwise known as H_o_p_s, is pronounced dead.
It seems that he did something so embarrassing at a certain party, that he was tracked down and killed on the spot by a deranged victim of his unknown antics.
He was last heard of from here, on May 2, 2005:
Bad Jokes…

COOL! My group is #2 on the list!
We now have 6 members!
I think we are going to change the name to The Southeastern GameDev Society since there are only 2 group members in Greensboro, and there may be more coming from nearby states.
A good idea, I think, would be to go to the Digital Game Xpo in Rale…

Hey, I just made a GD Gathering group: G'Bro GameDev Society!
The second one evar! And considering that the first one was started by Michael Tanczos, my group is really the first one (kinda, in a way, not really, ok you win, not at all).
I really have no idea what I'm getting into though [lol]

Hmm, haven't updated in a while (3 days and I'm this far down the list!), mainly because I've got little done over the period.
I guess I should be thinking about what I'm going to use for audio in the game. It would be cool if the library had 3d sound support so I could make the sounds.. um.. sound …

Scratch that last post, I've decided on using XML for my animation AND character data, all in one. [smile]
I still kinda agree with h_o_p_s in that xml is ugly (like html), and that it is overkill. But I need every gimmick (for lack of a better word) I can grab hold of in order to speed up my develo…

Nothing new to report today except that I have decided on an animation storing techique. I will use a snappydoo little text file that will have C/C++-like syntax:

WalkNorth {
dx = 0;
dy = -15;
r = {0,0,0…

Alrighty, I am working on the animation system for my CSprite class. My Thread
My realistic goal is to have the CSprite base class finished before Monday. After it is done, I will create a CNpc and a CPlayer class based on it.
I'm in a hurry so, to be continued...

Here is part of our main guy's tileset!
Some quality was lost due to the old Windows 2000 mspaint program. It doesn't even support gifs! (note: this is a school computer)

Yay! I made a snappydoo tileset loader! Basically, you divide your tileset into little colored rectangles (1 pixel borders). Then you put each of your tiles into each individual rectangle. Then you colorize your rectanges according to your defined control colors. At the top right corner of the tile…

For the tile game, Dave (the artist) is editing the crono sprite from Chrono Trigger. I know it seems pretty cheap to rip a sprite and change it for uniquness, but I gotta say, it looks pretty sweet, and we don't have enough time to our own custom sptites (and audio).
And I have the base of the game…
