Quick Update

The last few weeks have been really busy with a release in professional life. Glad to say it went well and I finally have my name on a published title. However I did manage to get time to add more features to the engine
  • Restructured Directories
    • Restructured directories so that engine code is easy to distribute without releasing the actual implementation
  • Sound
    • Added a sound lib and sound fx for collision and background music
  • Logging 
    • The log file now uses tinyxml, xsl tyle sheets and javascript. This has the added benefit of allowing me to filter the logged events according to filenames and/or type.
  • Disk Checks 
    • We now check for hard disk space, memory and CPU speed before the application runs
  • Added Custom String Class
  • Added Basic Class for File i/p
  • Using a resource cache and zip files for sprites to decrease the memory footprint
  • Added optional template which removes the need for returning –1 for invalid values
  • Minor Tweaks and bug-fixes
I have also made a new setup with the above features
