Im with Mark on this one, actually using OpenAL is a good choice to get some audio capabilities in there as its quite easy to use. If at a later date Mark wants to swap it out for something more meaty or add to it then the option is there also.
OpenAL can actually do quite a lot of things some of which I added to my Ultim C++ engine through the ages like audio recording and mixing etc, it would be nice to see these sort of things actually make it into MonkeyX2.
I would like to see a Blitz3d engine for mx2 brought upto date for today’s audience. Over the years there have been loads of requests for road maps all of which failed and sometimes the project with them so to this end it’s probably best to glean as much as you can from the blog instead.
On the Si front he does seem to be a very “energetic” BRL fan boy that any slightest negativity towards BRL is met with a tirade or threat of banning, for me this is not a good way to have a discussion yes people won’t agree with you 100% of the time it’s the fabric of life we don’t always agree. To make draconian moves to people who state past failures doesn’t help BRL’s image what would be better is a discussion about where it went wrong and how lessons have been learned.
@adamstrange well said
No I’m not living in a dream world it’s called Freedom of speech and if it’s not allowed on the forum maybe all posts should be moderated.
As I said personal unjustified attacks on a company is a ban but just discussing something isn’t. This is how the forum used to operate we discussed loads of things we were warned if we went to far and yes some where banned but stuff was discussed in a fair manner.
It screams of elitism to me just cut off the dead wood bow it’s served it’s purpose and love on. Nothing alienates people like getting shut down, who knows maybe some of the blitzers are waiting to see where MX2 goes and it’s feature set before coming here did you think of that?
Also would that mean the MonkeyX1 forum was due to close after all that seems to be less active than the legacy one? Maybe Elitist amongst us would like this forum to only be available to those who pledge. Where does the lunacy end?
what I’m saying is discussions tend to get heated in some cases you can’t ban people for opinions.
yes if they constantly unjustifiably attack the company then ye’s that can’t be tolerated but discussions are loads of people giving their opinions.
If freedom of speech is not part of the forum maybe ALL posts should be moderated before being put to the forum.
The thing about discussions is everyone’s opinions have to be respected, however the moderation team over there only want pro BRL sentiments which maybe all rosy and peachy in a perfect world but isn’t completely true.
if your censoring everything anti BRL then in the end you will end up with nothing as nobody will discuss anything through fear of getting banned.
the first fails as your also wrapping the &255 in the brackets, this is why the second one works.
This could be a throwback to C casting where each section had to have a cast or it could be down to the function returning something other than a int.
I do not see why there should be a need to kill off the legacy Blitz languages because mx2 is more shiny.
When Mx2 does everything that all the previous brl languages have done then maybe but it’s not good to upset the applecart because there might be a ideal.
As has been asked on the original Blitz forum is this a guaranteed $1000 a month or will something happens should it fall below the $1000 due to pledges changing options etc?
“If you are backing monkey2 via Patron or paypal donation, please reply to this thread if you would like to have a ‘heart’ icon attached to your avatar in the forums”
The devil is in the wording I would change the first post to “regular PayPal donation” rather than PayPal donation.
still waiting for mine donated via PayPal from my Hotmail email but still no heart :/
a)OK will change it.
b) it generates a consistent random set across ALL targets, this makes it easier to work out how things are going to happen on any target.
Then ya have a examples folder called bananas sums it up me thinks
I could port Ultim.Random system I have which is a port of Shagwanas random system if it helps
Uploaded a module for to the modules system that allows for random number generation, this is a port of Shagwana’s code on the BlitzMax forum (www.blitzbasic.com) so I have credited it to him and the porting to me :).
I’ve been coding for some thirty odd years (since ’81
). I would normally use glDrawElements to render stuff as glBegin etc is convoluted for rendering more complex stuff
