And that's if they even provide Windows binaries. I've run into at least a few packages where I could just apt-get them on Linux, then when I try to build for Windows they just go "Here's the source tarball, godspeed!"

Here's a fool proof guide for developing software on windows:
Step 1) Give up
Step 2) Install Linux

well see you just need to wget xmesaorg2.4.50102.tgz and untar it to your /sbin/usr/bin folder while you cross-compile your root permissions into a hash ball. quite simple really

Started working on a game with my friend Kukiric (another facepuncher) and so far I've made a base entity which I can then extend with other classes later on to add specific functionality, but for now it's nothing more than a pretty picture with a ton of functions under the hood.



And the functions I was talking about:


This is pretty much my first proper attempt with c++, and I'm not even reading any SFML references, just learning as I progress.

Can't wait till Kukiric makes an entity manager, that way everything can be nice and tidy.

working on "action buttons" which allow you to selectively run motors (and soon thrusters) instead of having them always-off or always-on

Edited:

this way you can actually make a drive-able car (with the camera Follow option) and other vehicles

Basic cinematics! (With that, I mean a dialogue and a delay on the fadeout effect)


Edit:

This is all map-specific (no shit), loaded from a Lua file:

return {
    init= function ()
        map.blackTimeout = 3.5
        tools.timer.add(function ()
            tools.dialogue.addLine("It was a dark night...", {255,255,255})
        end, 1)
        tools.timer.add(function ()
            tools.dialogue.addLine("You don't remember anything.", {255,255,255})
        end, 3)
        tools.timer.add(function ()
            tools.dialogue.addLine("You: Where am I?", {255,127,0})
        end, 8)
        tools.timer.add(function ()
            nots.add("Use [A] and [D] to walk around", 10)
        end, 12)
    end,
    tick= function ()
        
    end
}

Your dialogue says to use A and D to walk, but to get there you would have already had to walk.

You guys know how YoGUI was UGLY AS SHIT?

Well I recently added nine-patch support. So if you make a nine-patch image, YoGUI supports it.

I stole Android's ICS button image and stuck it in YoGUI.

IT'S WONDROUS!

Now make all the other shit look good

I've never actually used it, but it seems like a pretty damn useful set of tools. What about it do you dislike?

It's not that I hate it, I just don't like making my stuff rely on it. I love the idea of it and if it was included with every compiler on every platform I'd be using the shit out of it.

This is my only concern about it as well. I don't want people to be downloading MASSIVE libraries next to my software, and I couldn't dream of including it in my software.
I do use it, though, to speed up my development until I get the more "low-level" functions ready.

Ah, I see. Out of all the people on this forum who said they hated boost, you've been the only one to actually give a valid reason why. I was starting to think it was just a giant bandwagon or something

Just uploaded a new build of my game - Makes "intro" be the first map loaded on first run. Launch again or go to Main Menu on the gesture menu to get the menu.
If you'd like to mess around with it, there are some editable files in AppData/LOVE/BR2 you can customise. .bdf and .biq are just JSON files for now, gonna make them binary later.
(In edit mode, 3rd mouse button activates fly mode)

Oh and Garry, I'm using Bundl'r to make it one .exe file - works great, thanks for making it!

May have found a slight way to get in the terrain

Jump, place blocks above you, get stuck in terrain

Also, the jump frequency is much too high, and i would recommend making the jump height slightly higher, as well as the actual jump take longer

Not realistic, but it does look better, thanks.



Also, about getting stuck in blocks in editing mode isn't that bad nor is it easly fixable without getting other cons.

You didn't link all of the SFML libraries, have a look on their wiki, I'm guessing it explains exactly what you need to link to
