XRhodes v0.84 is out

Hell yeah! Numerous additions, sleeko-neato functionality, two bugs swatted and some feature cuts, including but not restricted to:

  • XR::RenderRegion - calculates the world coordinates of the current viewport's four sides, based on XR::Camera2D's current viewer and layer, so you don't have to.
  • XR::Indexer2D - takes the weight of 1D array represented 2D array's management off your shoulder. Includes conversion and from indices, coordinates and range validation.
  • Optimisation and flexibilisation in XR::Texture2D::Capture() and XR::Texture2D::Generate<>() - use shorthand generation with colorkeys!
  • XR::DrawArrow() for customizable yet optimal arrow drawing.
  • XR::KeyPositiveEdge() and XR::KeyNegativeEdge() to more conveniently check for just pressed / released keys.
  • Well, I did pull the plug on XR::Table<> and XR::GridHasher<> in the process, but you've got XR::Indexer2D in lieu of the earlier, and I'll come up with something neater in lieu of the latter.

You'll need to wait a couple of hours for the OS X version, but I hope you'll agree with me that it'll be worth it. Check the docs in the meantime!

Time to get real. Totoreal.

Now that I'm waiting for university to start, and looking for a job rather than having one, I've picked up writing tutorials for XRhodes.

You can find the second one here, and a listing of what may come, here.

Please drop in with questions and suggestions.

XRhodes v0.83 for OS X is out

Today I've installed Mercurial for OS X and for a little exercise I went back to the latest version of XRhodes to build it for the Mac. I also used the opportunity to bring the documentation up to date too. You can find your downloads in the usual place.

Update

Well, well, well. XRhodes v0.83 for OS X is still not out, the source is still not open, but it'll soon come to you. No, really. In the meantime I've been working on v0.84 -- that is when I wasn't moving to Plymouth and starting university. I consider moving concluded. The uni is underway. As for XRhodes, the core features seem to have finally settled. Following my recent studies with AI and state machines, I will look into including pathfinding (originally intended to be part of XRTile, and I can see the AppState system changing one more time, but again for the better.
