It's not like you said anything that only hackers would know or something, just common knowledge.

Hacking = coding in a way that just works; taking something apart (be it software or something in real life; breaking into systems for educational reasons falls under this) to figure out how it works or to just learn more

Cracking = breaking into systems or manipulating faulty software for malicious purposes.

Get your shit straight

I should probably change this thread's name to "mvEngine progress" or something like that. I just finished rewriting my crappy inventory system and I will probably make a youtube video tomorrow. I have some new additions to my engine that will be shown in the video, i would make it now but its 2:55 am and i've been programming since 7'ish non-stop so, needless to say, im tired.

Very true.

Ok, I'v decided to rewrite my engine with SDL instead of allegro. I'm also changing the thread name.

Yeah I know, I forgot. No need to be a Mr. Crankypants
P.S. I love you.

It's been a while since i posted anything on this thread and youtube. After taking a much needed break after finals i'm back to working on mi engine again. yay!
And now the mvEngine is on the Nintendo Wii, yes I did get the idea after seeing LeonBlade's posts but oh well. I also plan on being more active on the forums and youtube (more updates).
Here is a vid that i just posted:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBMTex0sGtg
The video quality of my camera is shit so i recommend that if you watch the vid you do so on a high def setting.

Hopefully this will bring this thread back from the dead, but until then, happy coding!

Wii port!!! Nice one bro! I think everyone gets busy, but we just do what we can when we get time

Nice job man, love it

totally watched it it was great :D I can't wait till you get lua back in that's always fun to see what people do with lua, and I myself plan to be using lua soon, lua and Qt oh my :D

I noticed that you don't have FPS control on your engine, I ran it way to fast it seems (animations were barely noticeable since they were going to fast). You're diagnal walking is also odd in the way that the character looks in two directions one after another very rapidly, and you move much slower. I didn't like how you disabled the close button for the main window, I had to close it from the console window that came up, and even then it took around 5 seconds.

The map editor's mouse code is very laggy, the blue square takes a bit of time to get to the position of the mouse. I couldn't figure out how to use it, but I noticed that you counted the number events in the top left. Again with the close button, and the time it takes to close.

Other than that it looks nice.

EDIT: just noticed that this is not a new topic X_X

Where did you download the engine???
You must be using an old version because its not on the PC for the time being, its only on the wii (too lazy to rewrite input classes for pc).
EDIT:
It sounds like your using a VERY old version of the engine, the allegro version...

Yes, I thought this was a new topic :P

I need some advice:
Right now im using SDL on the wii for my engine and it is getting slow as hell! I see 3 possible options:

1. Use Libwiisprite, an easy to use c++ wrapper around the GRRLib library:

• Pros
  Easy to use
  Hardware Accelerated
  Cons
  Not very hardcore
  or Original
  Graphics Only

2. Use GRRLib Basically a c/++ wrapper around the Wii GX core:

• Pros
  Hardcore
  Hardware Accelerated
  Cons
  Learning Curve
  Graphics Only

3. Use gl2gx An OpenGL wrapper for the Wii:

• Pros
  Hardcore
  Gain GL experience for PC use too
  Most Likely Hardware Accelerated
  Cons
  Learning Curve
  Only Alpha version released
  Graphics Only

I'm not sure which path to take, any suggestions?

OpenGL wrapper.

I've just tried the GRRLIB library and it is WAY easier than i thought, and ALOT faster than SDL. I think i'll be using it. THE BEST PART IS THAT IT HAS RESIZE-ABLE FONTS!!!
