Hi there,<\/p>\n

we start coding our micro-engine for this ludum dare. First of all we introuduced the Game class for game loop management, update, render, update, render, update, render……..<\/p>\n

Next, we start playing with OpenGL, drawing some boxes in the window. We realized boxes are so bored and we develop a Texture class for handling png images. With Texture class introduces, next step was coding a very simple Sprite class but… now this class have more lines than the whole program.<\/p>\n

In this Sprite class we have implemented a hot-reload sprite’s info using XML files. For reading this kind of files we use rapidxml<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, we can test our sprites without compiling the code. Next step? Blue background is so bored too…<\/p>\n

See ya!<\/p>\n
