Re: [War-devel] Music feedback, design doc, rules, is anyone there????

Hey ho

No traffic - silence - no replies

Sorry for that

Stuff has died down a lot for me since I got twins. Havent had time to
do anything else, and the little spare time I had went into Diablo 2 :-)

The initial panic is now down to more reasonable levels, and I'll start
coding again for real very soon.

I have spent considerable time looking at Crystal Space and its terrain
engine. After reading lots of docs and writing test codes I'm not sure
that the CS way is the best. On the other hand SDL is very low level and
a lot of the coding has to be done by ourselves, while CS has a very
active delopment community.

This weekend I'll dedicate a day to decide if we should go for SDL or CS
as the underlying engine/lib. I'll release some new code soon after that
that reflects that choice (totally rewrite to use CS if that is the
choice)

Sam: some feedback

The music is awsome. Not the best quality and still needs some polish,
but definately what I like. The only negative thing is that it is not
very well suited for looping as it is. But maybe by cutting the
beginnning and end a little it is possible to make a infinite loop of
the music.

I'll include the music right away in the next release. Then we can make
it better later.

Regarding the design docs - I'll send you a copy when I'm at home later
today. After that you/we should start coding the battle engine as it is
independant of the GUI side. Maybe starting by defining some API to
it?!?!

currentUnit->bombard(listOfDefenderUnitObjects)
currentUnit->melee(listOfDefenderUnitObjects)

or whatever

I talked to Søren (our 3d studio guy), and we agreed upon having a
little kickoff meeting again where we can get some units designed. We'll
have that within a couple of weeks.
