Next Tutorial release soon; Eveh3D World Editor
Spam mail...Ugh!
Okay, I used to think my websites primary email address was free from useless spam emails... I guess its not anymore :(
Wouldn't it be great if network bots can detect and route them to nothingness automatically?
Ugh... Wait for Microsoft, they will say something once they take over Yahoo and the Internet...
Eveh3D World Editor
This is actually more of a scene editor. Basically, we have decided to start turning our demo into a scene editor. This will help bring every part of the engine together within an editor envirement.
At first, our primary goal is being able to add objects to a 3d world and scene manager, creating a file format for the scene, and the actual use for the game. We are considering of using XML for the file format.
I am basing the design similar to IrrEdit to help make the learning curve easy.
This will be our main design tool for our engine, and will be a product as part of Eveh3D.
Next Demo - Creating your own BSoD
Not really :)
Actually the next OS Development Series tutorial covers errors, error handling concepts; error,exception, and interrupt handling; Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT), IDTR x86 register, LIDT instruction, and even building our own Blue Screen of Death (BSoD).
Thanks to our system design, we can encapsulate x86 dependencies within the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), and create a nice interface allowing our kernel to "Register" error handlers through the interface via the HAL.
It should be up within this week... hopefully.
Its going to be fun...
