Plan for Rick Overman

by Rick Overman · 03/20/2001 (9:54 pm) · 0 comments

The GarageGames staff is heading to Game Developers Conference first thing Wednesday morning and will return on Sunday. We have a very busy schedule meeting with vendors and GarageGames developers, but we will try to check in on the GarageGames forums and see how things are going when we get a break.

If you have not heard by now Tribes2 has gone gold. That also means that GarageGames has gotten the final code drop from Dynamix. Tim and I have been working hard on the code since then and have made good progress in the last couple days ...but we still have a lot of work ahead of us before the release. Tim has been working on the demo application, initialization, scripts and gui while I have been reorganizing the code base and getting some new GNU makefiles in place.

-create new makefiles that use GNU make rather than using the proprietary OpusMake make program that was in use by Dynamix
-added and tested makefile support for CodeWarrior 6
-stubbed in makefile support for Microsoft VC++
-clean up #ifndef, #define wraps in all headers
-#ifndef all includes in header files to speed up compile times (19% faster)
