[Ircivil-development] IRCivilization Virtual World

[mati s. <bat...@ma...>]

first a note about the ealier email

i thought bout using MySQL as the default SQL Server but...
well it goes as follows
i thought that the Server will run on a Linux Machine
Linux Machines wont be equiped with the Data Base Servers which windows may
be equiped with

it will be equiped with MySQL(very popular SQL)
but... windows doesnt come with MySQL something which will require users to
install MySQL on their Machine(Server & Client)

like it? i dont

but for now i think that it will be neccesery(so we wont deal with several
Data Base Servers)

later we'll change it

i'm currently attempting to boot the MySQL Server on my Machine
when(if :) i'll succeed i'll put in the site instructions on how to do it

any of you who will want to try the Server/Client on their Machines will haf
to install MySQL on their Machine

what can i say? life sucks :)

btw , any coder who has experience with sprits? this is for the graphics

now about the IRCivilization Virtual World

the current virtual world is a 4Gx4G Map

there is also an option for Grided map and this is the topic of this email

here are two options(that i think are possible)
they all assume that the map is Gridded(for example 32x32 cells are created
by the grids)
1) Fixed Structures(houses) will take Whole number of cells and will start
within a cell
2) Fixed Structures and Characters will take Whole...

now u need to decide what's better
just note that if u pick option 2 it may mean that two characters wont be
able to get near one eachother

also there is the problem of moving characters , anyone has an idea how?

we also need to create surfaces for characters to be on
the IRC Client Module is partialy ready , it needs more functionality

i'm also making the Client using Direct-X , but i believe i'll encounter
many problems :)

i still hav'nt picked the best C++ Compiler because of the current problem
with SQL

hope to hear from u all soon
