Finished porting the main portion of my first D3D/C++ game from eight years right now into OGRE and using proper structure and coding standards. Shit, I wrote some sorry code then  But if felt good rescuing that old game (though the code was shite, the concept is good) which also gave me a great opportunity to test my new framework I'm developing for another game project! It is a very good feeling seeing how much one has developed as a programmer!  |

got guile examples up and interpreted with close to 0 difficulty, and just about to try getting ecl up and working as well. Are you saying you're thinking about embedding a Common Lisp implementation (ecl) as a scripting language for a game? Intriguing, though... aren't these typically quite gargantuan beasts? (I've been feeling a little guilty at how much I've been using lua recently; need to broaden my horizons just a little If you're open to suggestions, one language I've always thought would work very well as a game extension language is Io. It's quite unique, has minimalistic syntax and some intriguing concepts; I think you might enjoy it. |

ecl=embeddable common lisp. the library is about 1mb I think (just checked: 1.8mb). Scheme is a much smaller language (the dylib is 812KB). I don't know exactly if I do want to do any scripting proper in lisp/scheme-based languages, but I think that's unlikely to just occur to me unless I have it available as an easy-to-use option. I'll check out IO now. (Though, in general, I tend not to be too sensitive to object-oriented delicacies, so it will take some concentration...) |

Yeah, perhaps in a while  Translating and porting the game basics and fundamentally refacturing the code to a week, but I still have to implement a new user interface and tweak some mechanics that's been affected by changing libraries... But I will request feedback when ready for it, and thanks for the interest!  |

i'm going to work on a 2d fighting game with some voice activation in it. We're aiming at XNA and .Net, so i'm quite happy since i'm more a C# dev than anyhing else. The schedule is tight, the technos available to ease the dev are obscure or not documented (yes i'm looking at you xnaMugen), but the team is eager to work and motivated.
(this forum lacks a "the in between happy and grumpy not old but not too young programmers room" actually)
Oh btw, if any of you know any good reference or litterature on fighting games, architecture, dev tricks, etc, i'll definitely be happy. Really.

Woohoo, got my RNG to work. An implementation of Multiply with Carry, creating plenty of lovely pseudo random numbers. Fast too, 2^20 ints or floats within about a fifth of a second. Same amount of integers within a set range in a quarter of a second. |

and maybe you can have a look on Bullet. I heard lots of good comments on that engine.

Bullet looks cool, i have seen all the demos now. It has Soft bodys, and soft bodys are cool. I think I try that instead now. I hope the C++ interface helps a little bit to understand it, but thank you  |

I use Bullet for collision detection in my engine and it's really fast and easy to use.   |

Reading Modern C++ Design at the moment. It's pretty of fun. Just toying about templatizing some of my code now (the larger-scale engine code, where the structure is fixed at compile-time).

I'm happy that I succeeded in my 7DRL challenge. It's amazing how much can be accomplished in a week.
So now I'm a 7 Day Roguliker. Sounds like a religious cult. Imagine the door approach: "Do you believe ADOM is the one true father?" "have you used the VI keyset?" "How much do you know about roguelikes? Would you like to play more?"

Uh oh after years of tedious coding I only now found out Notepad++ can indent (and un-indent) as many lines of code as you have selected at once. I used to manually go line by line indenting when the nesting levels changed.  This will make future coding much easier! |

I used to manually go line by line indenting when the nesting levels changed. Incidentally, anyone who does a lot of programming should seriously consider using an editor that can map any operation across multiple lines. The easiest way in most editors is to use a macro. Go to the start of the first line, start recording, do whatever it is, move to the start of the next line, then stop recording. Now replaying the macro will get your task done. (Start, stop and replay should be bound to single keystrokes.) |
