The state of things.
Most of you that are in IRC already know this, for those that don’t I figured a new post is long overdue.
Currently I’m not doing any work on this project due to the uncertain future of ISXWarden / Glider. The point of this project was to create a navigation system that could be used by [...]
Project is still alive, real life getting in the way lately.
I am writing this message of my own free will. I hereby declare I have not be threatened with a titanium poison tipped spork of epic proportions…
Joking aside the project is still alive and well, but real life has gotten in the way and bills must be paid (or so they keep telling me). [...]
The Latest
Many people have been curious when an update will be coming and the truth of the matter is I can’t really give a date. Working as hard as I can to get an update out there for everybody but it certainly won’t be this weekend (anniversary, wedding, then birthday). I’d really like to get one [...]
Getting quadtrees up and running!
Well it’s been a while since there was a quality update, hopefully this will really be it. Quadtrees have been my main focus these days and we’re going to get them running come hell or high water. The first step in getting our quadtrees running is to figure out just how many we are going [...]
What’s happenin’ cappin’?
Well just a quick mini-update here. I’ve been working on both implementing the automatic MPQ streaming that was posted on the forums into the trunk (and spending a good amount of time reading up about the GPL to ensure I stay within the license of mpqtool) and more importantly I’ve been working on quadtrees. Right [...]
Long awaited cleanup has arrived!
Well to those that keep an eye on IRC I posted a few updates to the SVN already that show the code cleanup (be aware it’s more or less a complete rewrite). The two biggest additions to this new code bank is the console (provided by arkwiw from IRC) and a new config file (named [...]
How about a programming structure you can follow?
I have mentioned many times over the last handful of posts that the code is being refactored because it has turned into a spaghetti monster (not the flying one in the sky, the one that lives inside of all of us and we must defend against when writing anything useful). Well as I’ve been working [...]
Silence for too long can make a grown man cry!
Too long without a post is never a good thing for a blog, so I decided to devote as little time as possible to this post as I have a long “To-do” list and not nearly enough time to do it today. Let’s see where we are:
I see a lot of people in IRC and [...]
So redsector want’s to know the next chapter…
<redsector> its just like getting into a book
<redsector> but the book is not finished yet
<redsector> i enjoy your writing style
The problem is… this is about all I have:
Quadtrees… You’re doing it wrong!
In the previous post a member made a great comment suggesting the use of an existing structure for subdivision of space (also covered slightly in the previous post). The suggestion was the use of either a quadtree or an octree which are both very similar. I am the first to admit my knowledge of both [...]
