All my base, actually… My basecode is here<\/a><\/p>\n

Didn’t get around to learning enough Unity to make use of that this time, so I’m going with the usual C++ with a bit of D3D and a sprinkling of FMOD. It’s pretty much the same base as I’ve used for the last couple of compos, just a couple of bugfixes and a bit of minor tidying up.<\/p>\n

– D3D setup, Windowed\/Fullscreen switching
\n – Texture loading
\n – Text rendering
\n – Maths (Vector, Matrix, Camera classes)
\n – Basic input
\n – Bloom effect*
\n – very very basic wrapper around FMOD for audio<\/p>\n

Still not got around to writing a model loader for it, though \":(\" <\/p>\n

(*Yeah, OK, this one does seam mildly cheaty – but there’s open source rendering engines out there, and things like Unity, that give you a whole lot more!)<\/p>\n

Not sure if I’m compo-ing or just jamming – guess it depends on the theme and early progress…<\/p>","time":"August 20th, 2010 12:44 pm","title":"All your base\u2026"}
