ChainWorks Rebuild

Well this is a quickie because it's my bday and I got stuff to do :P!

With the release of the beta build of T2D I decided to restart the coding side of chainWorks from scratch. After completing the first tutorial, I rushed into chainWorks eager to get my hands dirty, and it's a credit to Melv, Josh and the rest of the T2D crew just how much and how quickly I was able to prototype my game. I've been working with t2D for about 4 months now, and I learn more every single time I open up codeWeaver. As a result I look back to the ealry depths of the program and cringe at the hacks, work arounds and long winded ways I did things, which make later development much more difficult.

I certainly dont claim to be any form of expert with torque script now, but im happy to say I've progressed since then. On that note I decided that a rewrite of the program, with a careful eye on performance, memory consumption and neatness of coding style would allow chainWorks to develop into a far more robust title. I also bought a mac mini so I can deploy mac builds as I go :)! With that I removed the buggy features of the old chainworks prototype, and bundled a mac and windows build up. Anyone whose interested to see the basic gameplay mechanic can grab a hold of either build from the links below. I seem to be having some issues with the mac build though, it works fine on a friends imac g4, but not on my mini or another friends ibook :S. I think it may have something to do with the large filesize of the backgrounds.

Anyhow, the basic gameplay is there, needless to say this release does not in any way shape or form reflect the final quality or style of chainWorks; it's just a chance for me to release what Ive done, and hopefully show just how easy it is for a complete novice to make something quick and dirty in T2D :)!

I appreciate there is little to comment on, but any feedback or ideas would be much appreciated :)

Thanks all,
