So i’ve been busy for the last few weeks, my computing class has finally started programming, game programming…except it’s not programming. They use a gamemaker type program called “Scratch”. Anyone heard of it?
So I asked if I could do it the old way, proper programming. He said sure, so I said I have to bring my laptop then, since the school computers are incapable of creating windows programs…
So I got home, and started coding a basic 2D framework, which i’ve been adding to. I call it: SDLEngine, simple name?
Features
To do
I’ll upload the files with instructions so you can use it when I compile them.
I’ve been away for a few days…a week mainly..Loss of internet, thanks alot dad. I guess I deserve punishment for skipping school. Oh well.
