I have had a lot of questions from people on the status and progress of the game. The favorite question is “When is the game going to get released?” I have a separate blog open for this but since I don’t put any technical stuff on that blog, I decided to throw in some […]

When it comes to documenting code, there is nothing better than a documentation generator, and when you talk about document generators, none is perhaps more widely adopted than Doxygen.

My quest for a scripting system for the O2 Engine continues. This blog is a continuation of the “Selecting a scripting engine” series. You can check out the first part here. I tried a couple of different approaches to try and attack the problem. I am currently in prototyping mode and things and decisions can […]

It’s been a very busy week. Not only on the coding side of things, but had to finalize some major business related issues. The progress on the game has been a tad bit slow on the coding side, but nothing that can’t be picked up in the coming week. I also had a run-in with […]
