My ideas/plans for the tool compo

So, the compo has started. The sort of ideas I have:

  • HUD editor/library. Basically, this would be a GUI editor/library with no support for direct interaction, mostly just pretty ways of displaying data.
  • Start work on a multithreaded scriptable game engine. I kinda want to learn some multithreading and scriptability, so I’m thinking maybe I could start building an engine that does those.
  • Library for making replays of a game. This requires close integration on the game’s part so I’m not sure if I could quite make this into a reusable library, but I think this would be an interesting feature to implement. The idea would be that this would be useful for both debuggin and as just a nifty feature on its own.
Will have to see what I actually end up doing and what I manage to get done. I just moved to a new apartment so I’m kinda compelled to get all of these boxes around me empty.
