Lights, Camera, Action/RPG and Finish-up Friday~

by Cassy Brink · 08/06/2010 (8:04 pm) · 4 comments

I think I'm going to start participating in Finish-up Fridays, partly because I think it'll be fun, and partly because I think having weekly goals will help make me a lot more productive when it comes to my development projects. And so with this first FuF, I'm going to work like hell to get some things accomplished with the Torque3D version of my Lights, Camera, Action/RPG! project.

My goals for tonight:
  1. Get T3D to build with PhysX in MSVC 2010
  2. Implement an SQLite3 Database system (based on the resources available on the TorquePowered website)
  3. Re-implement onMouseMove, onMouseDragged, and onRightMouseDragged within the second beta of Torque 3D 1.1
  4. Re-implement the isometric camera system for Torque 3D 1.1 Beta 2 (If you can't tell, I haven't moved anything between betas, and I plan on completely re-starting the project, as far as the Torque engine is concerned, because I was.. messy with B1)
  5. Begin implementing a basic Ranged combat system (in other words, I want to shoot things. n.n)
And I hope to do a lot of work with the following over the weekend and next week:
  1. Try to get, at the very least, the beginning pieces of a toon shader implemented
  2. Start learning to do basic 3D modelling/animaiton with 3D Studio Max and SoftImage, both with relation to the Torque engines and OGRE 3D.

And there I was about to say "some guy I know said he couldn't get VS2010 working in T3D" and just as I was typing someone on IRC said that they'd done it ... shows what I know ... good luck on your tasks!

If it's any consolation, I don't listen to "other people can't do it" excuses anyway. n.n

Sounds like a good practice. Good luck and let us know how it goes - useful inspiration to do more is always welcome.

If there is anything I can't do, it would be because it's not difficult enough :D
