[Path Finding: It's Not Actually AI]

it is looking really good Scarlet.

[For loop optimization]

@Dadonik: What is the gain when using a pre-incremented value?

@Furbolg: Thanks for sharing

[A Red-Letter Day]

Already purchased it. 60 euro for Windows 8 Pro is a very good price.

 

 

I think the same thing will happen as with windows vista. There are going to be millions complaining about this and that, xp was better bla bla etc.

 

After the dust setlles and people have gotten used to its new interface, people will actually start liking it.

[Leadwerks 3 on Windows 8]

I am deffinetly going to purchase it ones it is released. in combo with SSD it is going to be so incredibly superfast. I really like the release preview and I have to say that I really like the new interface.

[Visual Studio]

On another note: Leadwerks has allways been about high quality rendering. Something like CryTech was doing with the Cryeninge. You can keep supporting older platforms but at some point you need to let go. A strategic decission, but taking Leadwerks reputation in to consideration, I would go for high end platforms and focussing on newer technology.

[Visual Studio]

I would suggest preparing Leadwerks for the future, thus VS2012.There are allready quite a number of games that are no longer supported for XP.

[Editor Enhancements]

I like the UI. It looks very calm and is easy on the eyes. Looking forward to the shader editor.

 

What is the option next to position, rotating and scaling? It looks like skewing..

[LE3 pre terrain possibility using Bryce7 and splatting]

Wow that is pretty impressive. How do you find time to research all these things?

[Hangout with Leadwerks Software]

Looking forward to it.

Time in Amsterdam 19:00 (GMT + 2)

[Mages Alchemy]

Ah that looks fantastic Tim! I also like your game approach. I think that you have good future when it comes to creating games for education.

 

And ofcourse I would be happy to help you test out the game. I don't mind some 'easier' mathmatics. makes me feel smart.

[Chasing RIM light/reflections]

Very nice work shadmar. You have a reall talent in shaderprogramming.

[Particle Update: Video Blog Style!]

Really nice video. The particles look briljant. Josh did a good job hiring you.

[Hang Out with Leadwerks]

****, I can't be present. Hopefully next I will be there. Nice initiative though Josh. +1

[Justify My Love (of Constructive Solid Geometry Modeling)]

I am very interessted in the shader editor. Perhaps I see this the wrong way, but it seems like the shader editor is an ultimate tool to learn OPEN GL.

[Let's Make a Game - Procedual Content Creation (part 01)]

Very interessting and cool stuff. Really inspiring. Can't wait for the second blog.

[Snow Day]

That is a nice shader you got there Josh. Just adding some snow textures on the trees randomly. Not bad.

[A Month With Leadwerks]

Looks like you are going the right way. Keep us posted on your progress.

[Mutant Madness - Starting up]

Thanks!

[Freaky Friday]

What was the outcome of your research?

 

Pretty good week. I have been working on a cool school project: making a plugin for maya to realtime stream motion capture data and facial capture data. First time I have written in Python.

I have been playing a lot of Tower defense type of games lately, which have inspired me to make a little game in Leadwerks.

[Hello Leadwerks World]

Hi and welcome aboard the leadwerks express. I am curious to see what you are going to make.

[Leadwerks Levels Up]

Congratulations. Sounds like a massive energy boost.

[Meet The Flockers.]

Very interessting stuff Marley. I learned a lot from it. Thanks for the post.

[Painting Dungeons]

This is awesome! I totally agree with your point on User generated content. But even besides that, It looks great! Keep up the good work!

[Ambient NPC population ... a continuation of an idea.]

That looks very promising Marley. What a beautifull screenshot of the town.

 

I have a question about the A* pathfinding: how do you make the grid? I can think of a way for terrains but how do you handle models that have different floors?

[Welcome to the Leadwerks.com dedicated server]

Looks good to me. A protocol for backups is always a good idea.

 

@community: Starting on the documentation again tonight.
