So, on to the updates.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Framework:\n
- \n
- There’s a game\/demo planned. The engine is, surprisingly, feature-complete for what I have planned.\n
- \n
- Not a platformer<\/li>\n
- Not 2D<\/li>\n
- Involves a lot of particles, lights, physics and animated units<\/li>\n
- Water\/Terrain\/Vegetation are essential<\/li>\n
- Minimal networking support<\/li>\n
- Not an RTS (well …)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Need to keep a solid 16.66ms frametime with everything enabled (PostFX, shadows, GUI) on my machine (will take most of my development time).<\/li>\n
- Improve\/complete the editor and XML interface. Mainly add a couple of external tools for assets. Nothing major.<\/li>\n
- Fix the scene management system (load\/unload)<\/li>\n
- Complete the Forward+ renderer<\/li>\n
- Finish the multi-threaded generation of rendering commands in preparation for Vulkan\/DX12<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Personal life:\n
- \n
- Still waiting on a “sudden” influx of cash to finish my watercooling loop.\n
- \n
- Need the AquaComputer Kryographics Hawaii<\/a> waterblock and a blackplate.<\/li>\n
- Need all the fittings, tubing and liquids to tie it up to the Swiftech H-240X<\/a> that finally got delivered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Received a Dreamcast as a birthday gift. That was awesome. Also bought an Atari 2600.<\/li>\n
- Might change jobs soon enough. Signed up as a C++ developer, worked in Java for over 6 months. Getting fed up.<\/li>\n
- Got a car \ud83d\ude00

- About the car:\n
- \n
- Various exterior and interior mods:\n
- \n
- Wind deflectors<\/a>, rim protectors<\/a>, upgraded bulbs<\/a>, upgraded side-lights<\/a>, updated signal lights<\/a>, LED backplate lights, blind spot mirrors<\/li>\n
- Footwell red LED lights, DashCam, Nismo armrest, ODB2 bluetooth reader<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- The 197BHP\/1295Kg PWR of the Juke doesn’t seem to be enough (~ Golf GTI Mk5 \/ Celica GT4 level). It’s so sporty, it’s basically begging for mods. Especially since mods are dirt cheap.\n
- \n
- This does not mean that I go racing \/ do track days in it. I love it to bits and would never endanger it. Not even a speeding ticket yet. It’s mostly a hobby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Got an Injen Cold Air Intake<\/a> with a Hydroshield on it to avoid hydrolocking.<\/li>\n
- Got a 2J Racing Crank Pulley<\/a> for easier revving. Insurance company said “Hell no!”. Currently on hold in the boot ’till January when I’ll kindly tell Admiral <\/a>to shove something somewhere.<\/li>\n
- Next upgrade will be either SS brake lines<\/a> or this front strut brace (<\/a>followed by the other one).<\/li>\n
- In the mean time, I’ll also be looking at painting the calipers with Nismo Red.<\/li>\n
- A middle <\/a>and a rear lower bar<\/a> are also on the list, because … reasons and Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an <\/a>\ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n
- A FMIC <\/a>would also be useful, as well as a 2nd Cat delete<\/a> (or at least a high flow second cat<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
That’s about it for now. I guess. Will eventually post screenshots once I get a few hundred lights on screen with a decent framerate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This wasn’t exactly a “quick” update as promised, but boy was it hectic around here lately. Hopefully, those interested in the code didn’t mind the lack of posts on the site and\/or blog, as the commit history on the XP-Dev project provided all of the interesting news (code-wise) a programmer really needs. And since this … <\/p>\n
