Right now I'm also working on the game logic/sprite system. In the past, I always kept graphics and game logic in the same class, but one thing I want to do for this game is to seperate the two as much as possible. So, right now I've got the old particle list, which stores an array of sParticle structs (Position, Velocity, Colour, Type, and a couple other things I'm forgetting) and takes care of all of the drawing based on that. The sprite list stores an array of sprites (note: I may or may not use an array in the final version, I'll get to that later) and performs operations on those. The sprites aren't too complex, with cSprite being a base class for all sprites, and then various types of sprites derived from that class. Anyways, the way I have my sprites talking to their respective particles right now is just storing an address to the position and velocity members of the associated sParticle in the particle list which is fairly convenient.
Anyways, sprite storage. Right now I'm using an array (newb doing a bit of pre-micro-optimization over here), but I also haven't implemented removal of entities from the array yet so right now I can get away with it reasonably safely. I'll likely move over to a linked list system later because an immense amount of sprite removal will be occuring which linked lists do fairly well.
Going to real life matters, I recently saw Serenity and holy crap is it badass. Really felt that a large amount of it was good. Also, does anyone else think that Caylee looks a LOT older in the film than in the show? I know it's been a nice three year gap between production of the show and the movie, but she looks like she aged 10 years in that time.
Final exams have also started for me. I've got my first tomorrow (I'm writing this over a study break) even though the exam season started last monday. "Thankfully", after tomorrow I'll have another 7 day break. Then I get to have 4 exams in 3 days. Whoopee. As a result, I likely won't do much work on my game.
