Elysian Shadows

Second rewrite attempt of my engine so far

Done ->

~ Failed to implement my OBJ model file loader
~ Implemented my map file loader /w test tree
~ Implemented my old OGL Camera class
~ Got it all into an SFML application /w 60 FPS cap



Cheers K-Bal for the heads up

Looks good! Reminds me of something...

Edit: Do you have plans for a game or are you just writing some engine stuff for fun?

haha yeah, learned the camera work from lighthouse3d hence the gluLookAt func looks same


Nah had enough fun, I'm working on a 3D Multiplayer Platformer called 'Blockz' while making the engine,
but I was using GLUT and the library is freaking ancient and that didn't do the job well, so then I changed everything to SDL which was much better but it was working poorly on Vista, so now I'll just stick to SFML, because of all this rewriting I haven't got much done, but in my GLUT version it was pretty well rounded so I'll just be copying the data

Nice. I like it. Keep it up!

Woot! I can draw my own files simular to [OBJ models] into a scene, no animation or texture yet though ->

Thanks, it was my second attempt at a human body aswell

Took 3 blender classes in college then quit, My aim is to have models simular to Team Fortress 2


Edit: I went on your forum, your lua game engine is freakin' sweat!

I hope you mean sweat as in his engine must have been the cause of much blood, sweat, and tears for its awesomenss, rather than your engine looks sweaty...

And the thing about SDL running like crap on vista... I've noticed that it seems slowed on my vista lappy too... Vista fails...

Ye Gyro just moved it

Hmm I've checked out the SFML website and I'm considering switching to it. Anyone that has used it and wants to spare some insight on it's functionality, ease of use, power, flexibility, etc. that would be awesome. I'm trying to get out of Allegro because it's not quite doing my games justice nowadays.
