[Poopmup-public] List of proposed changes in poopmup

[Andreas P. <die...@gm...>]

Hi Sherif and all the others,=20
I managed to look at the newest source now. So here is the list=20
things i would like to do first:

1) Move source files into src/=20
   src/base3d/    <all math cam bbox stuff>
   src/gui        <contents of osd and osd/formElem and the font stuff>
   src/world      <contents of theWorld>
   src/objects    <contents of movableObjects mapObject derivedGeom and
                   bird>
   src/media      <image and sound file loader>
                   + further 3dmodel, and world file loader
   src/           <everything else, the main file myObjectives(<-or in
                   World?), and the config file loader>

   There are still many files i am not aware about, especially with the
   world and object stuff, so most of that is based on the file names.
   Maybe a different structure makes more sense?

2) Rename files, remove 'my' prefix, and enforce a fixed naming policy =20

3) Gui cleanup:=20
   * use of std::list, and std::string instead of arrays
   * use of templates for some of the widgets

4) Singleton config file loader

5) Rework math objects:=20
   I think the point and vector classes could be enhanced, and
   simplified by using overloded operators.=20

6) Add time based movement, instead of fixed time steps
   Before I can start that, I will need to learn the current way of doing
   things, but I guess that will be the first new thing to implement.

7) Fix all current problems with sound and texture loading=20
   (i had problems here, but i havent looked into that)=20
  =20
--- Release of version 1.3 ---=20

8) 3D model import=20
9) Start adding scripting support by using boost::python=20
  =20

Is that ok so far?
May I use the boost libraries?=20
I might need smart pointer templates, or boost::function, and signals
might be helpful for the gui classes. But from the current point of view
boost is a post-1.3 thing.=20

I might have more time tomorrow.=20

Best Regards
Andreas Pokorny
