The odd thing is, you'd think that people would have frame time per frame. Most big time graphics applications supporting animation do:

GraphicsGale,
Photoshop,
PaintShop Pro
etc.

Also: the Text displays the same symptoms as Niek and Sahittam for a split second before being normal.

Windows 7 x64,
NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX+

Photoshop supports animation natively?

It does, it's just a pain to actually animate anything. Remember that old animated FLchan avatar I had? Made in photoshop.

Windows -> Animation

I don't know if it supports apng though :/


The really dumb thing is each animation HAS to be a separate layer, and tweening sucks :/

You aren't forced to tween, I just had layers hiding/unhiding. But the default tweening is annoying.

First time I ran it, I selected no then yes then moved right and it crashed. I haven't been able to replicate this so I'm willing to blame it on evil ninja-gremlins. The walking around, text and sword swinging otherwise were fine second time I ran it.

I tried to run it, but it complained that I didn't have Direct3Dx 9 installed, but I have DirectX 11 installed :|

Isn't Direct3Dx a part of DirectX?

Yeah, I had the same problem, but I downloaded the latest DirectX runtime and it was problem solved. Although I had installed a previous DirectX runtime.

yeah, that error comes from not having an up to date version of directx installed, i'm using the latest.

At the moment I'm working on collisions, NPC's and pathfinding.  It's all done via what I refer to as an InputController in the engine, I've designed it so that the input for different states, standing, walking atc. is implemented using an abstract interface, so it could be coming from a keyboard, gamepad etc. In this case though it implements a system to find the best path and sends the appropriate input and thus I can reuse the existing states I've already created for link in this case and use it move NPC's around, I can also see it being pretty useful when the developer needs to wrestle away control from the player for like a cutscene.

I've updated the attached file on the first post.  This version introduces a base character object that can be used for any object that faces in 4 directions and interacts with the environment, it takes care of the collisions with solid objects and also is the required class for most of the states, which means most objects that inherit from this class can also reuse the same code that I use for link.  I've also made changes to the audio handler.

It adds a few blocks and a sign to demonstrate the new features, I've had to temporarily do away with sword swinging.

It also introduces some new "events", in my engine "events" are implemented as interfaces, initially I only had two interfaces, IRenderable which allows you to draw things and also IUpdateable which allows you to execute code per cycle.

This version introduces 3 new interfaces, ICreateable which gets executed when an object is added, ICollidable which gets executed on collision and also provides you with additional collision methods, and IInteractable which gets executed when link tries to interact with the object.

Uploaded a new version. This version adds a few new things:
[ul]
  • A Pushable Block
  • (Rather Crappy atm)Day/Night Cycle
  • Transitions (Activatable by running to the edge of the screen or by pressing X)
[/ul]
