MM got his damn netcode working. Hallelujah!

|July 7th 2009|
I’ve been working on the netcode for the last few days without internet connection. It is amazing how much work you can do without the devil. ;D

|July 13th 2009|
upgrading the Netcode
I need to test it in real conditions. I think I might release a little test version publicly soon.
|July 20th 2009|
after rewriting the part of his network (jep, again) MM write a wonderful article:
I’m a genius
I got angry at the physics code for being limited. So what I did is make Box2D (Box2D=LDTestEngine - lil remark) work with tiles collision. This means that the game is not limited now to some memory issues. Infinite maps are reality now in the Link-Dead engine. I am not using them cause they are loaded into memory (for fast loading times). I can make them load from hard drive and that would allow for gigantic maps. But I’m not doing that cause there will be a slight loading hick-up; about 100ms. Doesn’t seem like much but in a multiplayer game that is a matter of life and death.
[...]
I tested a map 15 screens by 15 screens large and it generates and loads in about 15 seconds. This is a really good score even before optimizations.

I’m really proud of myself for doing this. I want to thanks the lack of internet for pushing me to do this.
(wow [retard])

...Job is going really good. The sleepy crisis is over and I’ve done a ton of work. Maps are now made in a Paint program.Read this? Read again. NO MORE map editors. Maps in paint. Fantastic...

"To play with real people:
Download and install Hamachi(https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp)
Create an account or whatever it tells you to do. When you’re ready, in Hamachi click “Join an existing network…”.
Fill in the details:
Network name: link-dead
Password: funnybunny  

In the network, there should hopefully be other players. You can chat with them (click on link-dead for channel chat), setup your server or join their servers.

To start a server:Press escape. Select Game/Start Server. When it loads: Select Game/Join Localhost

To join someones server press Game/Join Address. Change the IP:Port to the players IP. Default port is 50008.

That’s all. I hope it works.

Oh yes and the download link! Grab it here:http://mm.soldat.pl/downloads/awtest06.zip

Please report if it crashes. Tell me when exactly in the game it happens, a screenshot will help.
The framerate won’t go above 30 fps, it is fixed, not slow. If it drops below 30 then tell me and mention what hardware you have."

I need to leave bot paths now for more contemplation. I’m changing focus to integrating the old effects for maps - lighting and fog.finally! effects! yay

|September 20th, 2009|
Wonderful graphical update: Dust processor. It generates dust & smoke (fog lighting and some othr effects too) without any lag, as MM said.

YAY! Looks like MM did his homework on 'prince of persia' :)
LD looks promising, but will it reach the forecasted Best Game Ever Made? Will see.
