Hi there!
Well, I've decided to start a new project using darkgdk. I'm going to make some of my own models and stuff for once - here's a couple of screenshots from the first 'scene':




Thats all for now - not even sure exaclty what the game will be about - just going to go with the flow :-).

Well, I'm making progress with my experimentation, though I must report that the docs for DarkGDK are a little confusing, and could do with containinf more information! Anyway, I decided to make a small shooter project to test the engine out, which is almost done. The code is jumbled as hell as I was rushing to make something happen, but hey, it works!

Here's a screenshot:


I'll upload it here in a couple days, once I've done a little polishment.

Hi there!
Since I now have a computer worth running this on, I decided to take a look at DarkGDK, and what it can do. So, today I downloaded everything (visual c++ express, dark gdk, etx), and loaded it up. It'll be nice to try 3D programming with these simple functions, as opposed to the confusingness that is directX.

So, so far I haven't done much, just ported over an old class I used in a gamedev library (yet another failed project :-( ). This should make everything alot less complicated, as it has a functionality similar to DIV. One (virtual) function, frame(), gets called every frame, by the synchronisation function I wrote, which has a linked list of all the objects. Basically, this will mean that instead of putting something like this in my main game loop:


I just put this:


And this in the object class:


Just imagine how much simpler this will make things when I have multiple types of object that may or may not need running! The frame method is virtual as well, so I should be able to derive all my other classes from it too!

How good.
