I've been experimenting with Lua and it's pretty neat:
Might even encorporate it into the engine sometime. It would hard to control gamestates using Lua though. It would be interesting though. Having a completely Lua driven game engine. I'm sure it has been done before. Any thoughts?

I've begun the first game using the Lucid engine:
That's only after about 5 minutes of coding [smile]. Thanks goes to noaktree for the sprite. I still have some ideas of stuff that's missing in Lucid and will slowly implement them in while I get the chance. Some state controllers would be nice as…

I reworked the engine's image loading a bit so now it loads images dynamically and makes it so that you don't load an image twice or anything like that. I've also translated the primatives support from SDL_gfx into the engine you can easily call up System::Graphics::Primatives::Draw____() and you'…

I didn't really do anything exciting today. I uploaded the FMOD DevPak I created to DevPaks.org . It's pretty neat, check it out if you use FMOD with Dev-C++. I'd like any feedback on it.

Rotation is now implemented into the sprites:
It took me a while to figure out how to compile SDL_gfx (for SDL_rotozoom) with Dev-C++, but I got it. I've also put together a nice little DevPak for SDL_gfx and plan on releasing it to the DevPak Repository as soon as I get the time. So be patient. …

There's now a vector class built into the engine:
Every ball on there goes at the angle you shoot it at based on the mouse location. They also have a nice bounce algorithm in there which just changes the angle based on the bounce angle normal you provide. I'll upload the demo once I get the time. …

Well, the engine is making progress. Sound has been successfully implemented and it's very easy to use on the end-programmer side. Loading from different image files and from different surfaces is now in there. I did up a little demo to test its capabilities:

Lately I've been so bogged down with so much work and school and projects that I just don't know what to do. I manage about 1.5 hours of my own personal time on the computer each day and that doesn't really give me much time to work on my own projects.

Haven't really been that productive lately. Reworked the text system so it's faster, takes up less memory and has alignment properties:
Now it just needs a rework of the audio system, some more primative drawing functions, math library, new sprite system, a tile system.... Have a ways to go.

Finally... After fooling around with SDL_TTF for quite a while, I got text output happening. It's quite ugly code for now, but I'll fix it up when I have more time. It loads every font into the font map and then uses it from there. Isn't it pretty?
And yes, it still needs a new background image. …

Thanks to noaktree, I've been making progress with some small GameBoy Advance development. By slowly going through this article I've successfully made a movable ball for the GBA. It's nothing much at the momment, but will be something someday.

I've been working on my new engine for a bit lately. I planned out how it would work this time as well so it's coming along quite nicely. Here's a small demonstration of what I have so far:

I've begun a new asteroids clone project. I'm planning it to be a very minimal project and then see where it can go from there. I've also planned out how the project will be set up so expect the code to be cleaner then rBlocks'. No screenshots yet as I'm reworking the wrapper/engine completely. …

I've been working on a new way to display projects. With this method, you send an array of all project information into a function and then it handles how to display the information. Whether you're in the project listing, or in a project page, it shows the information. I have an example up at pr…

After a bunch of modifications and additions to rComments, it is finally released. I know a bunch of you were looking for it, well there it is. Complete with installation script and everything. Just read the readme.txt for help installing (you need to be running rWeb).

I contacted my good friend Kaysik and he told me about phpBBFetchAll. A nice little script that could extract values from a phpBB forum. I successfully implemented the script, but it didn't conform to rWeb very nicely, so I decided to ditch the idea. rComments works quite nicely and I don't thi…

Due to the lack of time I've had recently, I haven't actually completed much on the development side. I wish I could be more productive, but can't think of anything to do. I made some minor adjustments to the backend of my site, but that was about it. You should expect rComments to be released s…

For some reason, I put up Search Functionality on my site. It really doesn't need it, but oh well. Anyone else have experiences using a search feature on their personal site?

I've reached a certain stage in my life where I'm realizing that I'll never get to where I always dreamed I would be.... If that makes sense. But no time for ranting right now. All I can do is do my best in everything I partake in. And that's damn good, I must add.

Now that the Christmas season is over, everyone is getting back to work and, in my case, school. I've got a fairly nice timetable this time around and I hope to take advantage of it.
