Sucess!

Today after a couple of hours of quick hacks and re-edits, finally got some actual working progress. I moved the screen class to its own file for easier management and did some debug work. Long story short there is now a game window complete with...nothing lol. Still need to figure out why the init scripts won't launch properly though. Kind of annoying. At least its a step forward.

More updates

Still working its getting there.

  • Added Keymap mode switcher so using multiple keymaps is possible while in different screens, game play modes etc.
  • Updated and added to the old inventory code. Adding/Removing equiping/unequiping items etc now works at least the state changes and keeping track of everything...I think. Still need to impliment some method of saving inventory and character state etc. though.
  • Added some math code for general stat calculation.
  • Cleaned up more of the Core module
  • Moved a bit of the Core code into startup which is now launcher

In need of a forum

And possibly a wiki too.
Needs to be free. Should allow for privileged users to have access to different sections such as an adults only section.
The wiki needs to be able to host adult content too.
This is for Beyond Dreams, and the adult portions of it. (which are packaged separate)

Anyone got any ideas?

Code merged

After a few hours got all the new stuff merged into the old. Also got alot of things updated and fixed a few potential bugs too.

Some things that I want to focus a bit on right now are:
  • Fully removing the old PauseMenu class and using the new Pause state handler. (since there is already an in-game menu there is no real need for a pause menu as well.)
  • More work on the main menus (getting them to display properly and such)
  • Clean up the old item code
  • Fix various things that are missing that I keep putting off

New stuff-ish

Spent some time away from home this past week. Took my netbook, though no internet access. I forgot to bring a copy of the latest code with me, but I did still manage to conjure up a few new things.

  • Code to calculate lunar/solar events (such as moon phases, eclipses, etc.)
  • Code to allow for scripted dynamic lights
  • Better Item/Inventory management code (Needs to be integrated with the old ones)
  • Code to help manage equipped items
  • Gameloader code (with some defaults to avoid weird errors)
  • InGameScreen and InGameMenu code
  • Items now (partially) allow for environment exclusives (such as only works during fullmoon or doesn't work during daytime or effect halved during nighttime)
