EZ2D Game Engine / News: Recent posts

I have now added docs to the titlebar at the top. In the docs, you will find currently one document on using the EZ_Font class that came with 1.0. Please read the doc if you want to use fonts!

Here is the first full release of ez2d! The previous 0.2a has been upped to 1.0!
New features in 1.0:
-EZ_Font class (for fonts and such)
-All sorts of others!

Ok, I know I said that the next release was gonna be big, well this isn't the next big release. 0.2a is just a bugfix release. Please, if you use 0.2, or 0.1, please update to this now! It is so much better than them.

If you use Alpha 0.2, you may notice that the EZ_Image class is very buggy. Well, in correlation to that, I am rewriting the majority of that class. (if reading from home page, click title to read rest of article.)

First off, the init function will be almost the same as it is now, but without cw and ch. The drawing function will be changed to draw from SDL_Rects, not cells. This is because the EZ_image class itself will not support cell-based (tiles) drawing. Instead, there will be a class EZ_Animation : EZ_Image for all of the animation drawing. I will provide a basic set of methods in that class to do animations in sequences. Be prepared, 0.3 will be a big release.

Ok. I am releasing the source to alpha 0.2. I must warn you however, that the class EZ_Image is completely unusable (some unforseen major bugs), and because of it, I am doing a complete rewrite of it. The EZ_Sound and EZ_Music classes should be alright, but most likely have some bugs. The next release should be soon, and will contain basic, and I mean basic, image functions.

P.S. bayin has joined the ez2d team. Say hi!

Here we are. I have now just released the source. Currently, it has only been tested on Linux. Sound and graphics are working, but not very well. The input functions (joystick, etc) have not been implemented.

Alrighty, I finally got around to setting up the EZ2D home page. You can now find it at: http://ez2d.sf.net

Please give me any comments you have about it.

The CVS tree has been populated and development is underway!
In a few weeks I should have a release ready to test.
