Project News for Shadowed Horizons

  • Development Update

    I'm the only active devloper currently so things have been slow to say the least. However, I'm going to resume working on sH as soon as this semester grinds to a halt, so keep an eye on the CVS and expect many new things in the future.

  • Project Overhaul begins

    With spring break nearing, time to work on Shadowed Horizons is clearing up. We've got a lot of new ideas and basically an entirely new way at looking at the development process. We're not going to release publicly until we are satisfied with what we are calling the "foundation" classes of the system. Once these are done, Shadowed Horizons will be a useable library with some basic tools that you might find interesting. This release will be well documented, and have clear documentation on the vision of the project developers. There is no set timeline, but we will put it out as soon as we are ready. We're moving the active cvs module to acropolis-free within a few days, indicating our choice to remain compatible with Free Java implementations. I'll update the home page so that documentation and nightly builds of the CVS source are being generated automatically. CVS will be the preferred method to access the project until the next release. If things seem quiet, they aren't, so fear not.

  • Development resumed, Major Overhaul to Follow

    We have completed our proposal for the Ruby Codefest grant, which means that we are now able to resume work on Shadowed Horizons. In the coming weeks, a number of documents will be released that outline the goals of a major overhaul of this project.

    These changes include but are not limited to the removal of the JavaMBS source code, the goal to make the library JDK 1.1x compatible, and the revamp and cleanup of all existing systems. An event system will be documented and implemented in the near future as well.

    In short, we've got our work cut out for us.

  • Shadowed Horizons Release (20041227)

    sH has been released for the third time this month. This time, we focused on cleaning up the code and improving the World system. There will be a short break in development for 3 weeks due to smtose.org's persuit of a CodeFest grant from RubyCentral. However, the next release of Shadowed Horizons will take place at the end of January. Hope you like it!
