Quote: "FYI DarkNet uses doxygen and its very good, I can't recommend it enough! You can do prototyping where you implement the class structures without any functionality and visual studio (and doxygen) can generate some nice class diagrams."
Yeah, Ive seen the diagrams it can produce, very nice. Prototyping is what I was talking about, design and setup your classes first, then fill in the blanks, realise its all wrong and do it again
Here is an example of coding with the leadwerks engine with dbpro, its from a project in the WIP section:
#include "leconstants.dba"
dummy = Initialize(0)
dummy = Graphics(640,480)
RegisterAbstractPath "C:/Leadwerks Engine SDK/"
fw = CreateFramework()
camera = GetLayerCamera(GetFrameworkLayer(0))
PositionEntity camera,vec3(0.0,2.0,-4.0),0
material = LoadMaterial("abstract::cobblestones.mat")
sphere = CreateSphere(32,0)
PaintEntity sphere,material,0
global sphere_body
sphere_body = CreateBodySphere(0.5,0)
PositionEntity sphere_body,Vec3(0.0,8.0,0.0),0
EntityParent sphere,sphere_body,0
SetBodyMass sphere_body,1.0
flr = CreateCube(0)
ScaleEntity flr,Vec3(100.0,1.0,100.0)
flrbody = CreateBodyBox(100.0,1.0,100.0,0)
EntityParent flr,flrbody,0
PaintEntity flr,material,0
Collisions 1,1,1
EntityType sphere_body,1,0
EntityType flrbody,1,0
light = CreateDirectionalLight(0)
RotateEntity light, Vec3(45.0,45.0,45.0),0
repeat
campos = entityposition(sphere_body,0)
positionentity camera,campos,0
moveentity camera,vec3(0,4,-16),0
if keydown(KEY_W)
AddBodyForce sphere_body,vec3(0,0,1),1
endif
if keydown(KEY_S)
AddBodyForce sphere_body,vec3(0,0,-1),1
endif
if keydown(KEY_A)
AddBodyForce sphere_body,vec3(-1,0,0),1
endif
if keydown(KEY_D)
AddBodyForce sphere_body,vec3(1,0,0),1
endif
UpdateFramework
RenderFramework
Flip 0
until AppTerminate()
dummy = Terminate()
end
This is how I thought we would interface with S3GE, then build tools and scripting around our api.
