Hello I just took a look at ogre, you should have a look at the design of this = thing.. Its quite impressive. Also they use stl port, sounds like an = interesting idea for windows. The windows version of stl is quite old. = (Are you using any stl). Ben |

Hello=20 I was just sitting thinking about signals and slots and the overall = design of the engine, and just came up with one useful way to use = signals and slots. Around the frame timer, everytime a frame completes a = signal is released and all the slots that need the timers, like update = scripts or update animation can be tied in. It could also help people = using the engine, so they can tie something into the frames as well..=20 Ben |

Hi Ben, I have attached a gif of the my initial design of the engine's's core structure. Its not far from what we have now. Do you have a program that you use that could be used to generate and edit UML diagrams. If so what is the file format, because I'm using visio which is far from any standard file format, but it can export in many other formats. One of the resources I use to cross check my design is a sight about game design patterns, check it out its not bad. http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp?categoryid=66#137 later-luke _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com |

Ya never mind, it just looks that way from the little movement that the=20 penguin on the pedestal makes. But if you watch the 2 that are going arou= nd=20 in a big circle it looks like the frames per sec are quite high..

Yes, I agree with you with optimization, I would rather see the engine=20 complited and then optimize the 1% that actually needs it.. Design is the= =20 best optimization.=20 But that does not seem to be the problem.. It looks more like to timer is= not=20 working well in linux for the animation. If possible can you put somethin= g in=20 that could display the frames per second..=20 Thanks Ben On September 17, 2002 12:44 pm, Luke Carpenter wrote: > Hey Ben, > > I'm glad you like my changes, as you can see the interfaces are incompl= ete > but functional. > > I really haven't noticed a significant speed problem on my machine.

Hey Ben, I'm glad you like my changes, as you can see the interfaces are incomplete but functional. I really haven't noticed a significant speed problem on my machine. Its so hard making a game engine that is optimized on the initial development since there can be a bottle neck in single part that is slowing down the whole thing and its not obvious. My theory is make a completed engine that works then start an iteration of find the biggest bottle neck in the system, optimize it find the next bottle neck, optimize it, ect... Until it is at the performance you want. Because I have gotten lost trying to optimize a section before its completed and I windup with a partially completed section that's extremely optimized. later-luke >From: Ben Woodhead <be...@ec...> >Reply-To: emo...@li... >To: emo...@li... >Subject: [Emotion-devel] Main script >Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 11:04:50 -0300 > >Hello.. > >I was just taking a look though the main script and it looks really good.. >Soon there will be no need for anybody to actually touch the code itself. >By >the way very impressive accomplishment.. > >Is there still a need for resource management.. >Also if you are interested, plib has a portable clock library.. in the UL >library.. >After taking a closer look I am not sure what is going on on my machine, >its >animation is slow but I don't think that is a framerate problem.. > >Ben > >On September 16, 2002 05:23 pm, Luke Carpenter wrote: > > I agree that the sg isn't the candidate for a script interface, I used >it > > as a genie pig for making an lua interface.

Hello..=20 I was just taking a look though the main script and it looks really good.= =2E=20 Soon there will be no need for anybody to actually touch the code itself.= By=20 the way very impressive accomplishment..=20 Is there still a need for resource management..=20 Also if you are interested, plib has a portable clock library.. in the UL= =20 library..=20 After taking a closer look I am not sure what is going on on my machine, = its=20 animation is slow but I don't think that is a framerate problem..

Hello luke.. I was wondering if you find that emotion runs quite slow.. I was starting= to=20 think that the game timer may not be correct for linux. Does everything r= un=20 well for you..=20 Nice little demo..=20 Ben |

Hello Luke Don't worry about code cleanup before it goes into cvs.. That is what its there for.. Also it makes it difficult to keep everything consistent. The idea is check in early and often. If I can't compile I can still work on it until its resolved. Also it may be a good idea to put the design charts and docs into cvs.. Ben ps. When you check code in, if its needs alot of work or anything like that just send me a message letting me know what files need work.. Also, I am not sure if you are aware but with cvs you can go back to any checked in version of a file and cvs can help find bugs you have introducted by being able to run cvs diff against any version checked into cvs. I use cvs like the save button, if I complete a function and I am able to compile its going into cvs, just incase something terrible happens to the file. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luke Carpenter" <luk...@ho...> To: <emo...@li...> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [Emotion-devel] (no subject) > Hey ben, > > No I haven't checked in yet because I have to clean up some code.

Hello Well you are getting the right idea regarding Signals and Slots. Its really used alot in gui programming. Basically what they are a typesafe callback.The nice thing about it is that not only can you setup callbacks but you can callback to more then one function and pass data (if I remember correctly). QT and libraries like that do use a preprocessor to do the work, but libS++ does not, or at least its not one that you have to be aware of to use. So were does this become useful, mostly events. Ie, if you can tie the collition detection with each object then when 2 object collide you get signals to both objects saying collition. The one thing that helps is that the event has to no nothing about the implementation, like in gui programming the button has to know nothing about the implementation. I am really not good at explaining them in a useful fation for games, so check out this link. http://dark.x.dtu.dk/~sphair/cvs/Libs/ClanLib-0.7/Documentation/Overview/sig nals.html Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luke Carpenter" <luk...@ho...> To: <emo...@li...> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 6:26 PM Subject: [Emotion-devel] Resource Management and Signals and slots > Hey ben, > > With Resource Management: if all you are referring to is supplying a handel > to data rather then a full time reference to a pointer then that is very > simple, but its a fair amount of code.

Hey ben, With Resource Management: if all you are referring to is supplying a handel to data rather then a full time reference to a pointer then that is very simple, but its a fair amount of code. If you a referring to a more complex issue then I would have to get more details. With signals and slots: after doing a little research I found that I am familiar with signals and slots, just not the term. A signal is an object that produces a side effect under a certain condition, and a slot is a way to hook a action to that signal through a preprocessor marco. It really isn't all that great, MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes, a windows library) uses signals and slots to map window messages to actions. What type of implementation do you have in mind, I certain that we can come up with a decent resolution.

Hey ben, No I haven't checked in yet because I have to clean up some code. But I have been trying to pull a design together that would be a good structure for a game engine and I think I have finally got one.

Sounds good.. I am debating if sg functions are a good idea is a scripting language. You have to think that the people using the scripting language are more then likely not the programmer, also lua is a lot slower then c. Good work though, I am excited to see what you have done.. I noticed a few bugs that I have not had much time to trace, as I really have been looking at how to implement resource management and signals and slots (libSig++, looks like the sollution). One thing are the scripts still seperate.. And do you have complete control over the world.. I really have to look at this, sounds really good so far, I am not at work so I can't really check now but tomorrow morning I will .. By the way what do you think about lua. Also do you have any design ideas regarding resource management and/or signals and slots. Resources and a world seem to conflict but maybe not.. Perhaps I should do more in the resource manager and less in the level loader, with signals and slots in the world. I am a bit at a loss as to what to do with this.. I guess I will just write something and if it really sucks then I will not use it..

Hey ben I made major structural changes to emotion's script engine. There is now only one luaState for the whole game engine that is managed by a script kernel class instead of a luaState for each script class. I also created a few script interface, some that are automatically loaded and others that can optionally be loaded with a call to a create interface function in a startup script. There is a world script interface that allows access to the worlds data (ie. sprites, objects and levels.) I created an sg script interface that allows access to the sg's matrix and vector function. There are a few more small interfaces and there is room for many more. later-luke _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com |
