EpicRay has regained a certain stage of completion! Although I was this far before, now I actually have some powerful structure behind everything which will not collapse if loads of features are built onto it.
What EpicRay has now what my engine didn’t have before is player movement. No …
Since I’m a huge fan of interfaces, today I implemented a rudimentary framework for EpicRay. As soon as I worked out smaller issues, it will be the first code commit to my GitHub repository (except for the LaTeX code which is already up there, but that doesn’t count …
As always there has been a lack of posts in the last few weeks.
Well, last post more or less promised a design for EpicRay. Sadly I have to say that design got me a little bored. And although I did get something written down, I was to lazy to …

In this case I am revising EpicRay (my …
You may have guessed it already: my project is a Raycasting gameengine. In Java. With editor and all it takes to make making games as simple as possible. So, you might know Raycasting Game Maker*, why would I want to recreate that? RGM is rather limited, I believe Raycasting has …
I really want to implement drawing order in my node based graphics engine in vsge.
Node based meaning, that I actually have a nodetree, each node containing a pointer to the parent and a children list. This means that each node handles drawing of the children, so the graphics engine …
My vsge game engine uses a node based graphics engine. This makes parenting really easy for example. Entities of the game engine own a graphics node and update it’s transform, so they can be displayed to the screen easily.
Calling the nodes drawing procedures is handled by the graphics …
Since Allegro 5 has been released a long time ago, I thought I’d give it a try. I was pretty impressed by it, so I started rewriting my vsge2D game engine (which really just had only a basic structure though) using Allegro 5.
This turned out to be a …
