Dear friends,

The new magazine is ready: Aum81

Have a great new year!
George

thanks george.

Have a great year, too.

Thanks Geroge, You're awesome!

i have one question about the contest.
Does it mean we are not allowed to use models, textures and so on, only code?

Thanks George! Great mag. as always.

Nice contest idea.

@Fear:i understand it as there will be only one exe and acknex.dll in .cd folder when you compile it.

And plugins? They are code source after all...

Awesome aum again

I have for example the idea to generate some terrain scene using libnoise and directx and I think that I at least would have to compile a dll for libnoise, would that be allowed?
I hope that fx files are allowed too?
If I understand the explanation right all that is allowed, I just want to be sure...

That could get some very interesting contest

If you just want to generate perlin noise make your own implementation in Lite-C:

The contents of fx files can be included in your .c files, I think, this isn't the point, isn't it?

Thank you, guys.
Yes, we are not allowed to use models, textures and so on - only "lite-C" code: .c .h and .fx files.

it would be great if it were possible to create an empty model in the engine which then could be filled with a mesh buffer generated by code. as far as i know this isn't possible at the moment?

using directx to draw your own geometry somehow defeats the purpose of a game engine.



edit: is it allowed to embed buffers into code?
