More on Modeller.

So I'm finally back on the Character Modeller since I have spare time. So far I've implemented a few things and fixed a few bugs. I'm working on getting this functional to a level where you can actually use it to create a decent animation. That means "remove keyframe" needs to actually do something, and a nifty little feature called "Frame Lock" now works too. It won't be long until I'm making a test subject in Modeller to make sure all the required features are there and working properly.

Modeller is now version 0.6.

Technical Doco Update

Today I got around to revising some sections of the tech doc to make it clearer so we were all on the same page with the classes. The fighting engine's event manager events needed clarification, as did the IController interface; and the Fighter, Human, AI classes needed to be documented entirely. I also added in documentation for various information-holding structs, such as ControlInstructions, and some state-information structs such as WorldState. All of this new documentation is basically related to the fighting engine, where most of the progress in the project is focused on at present.

Holiday mode

Alright so we're almost out of holiday mode-- which for us was pretty much work (part-time jobs, hobbies, other commitments etc.) and games...not much time for project work sadly, but we did have a good think about all the stuff we are working on and we're immediately back on track this week and straight into work (coding.)

More stuff as it happens, folks!

Holiday work

My work on the project has been mostly organisational during the holidays. I have been organising the project direction and holding meetings and discussions. Due to a multitude of other commitments and unforeseen circumstances, I haven't been able to work much on the Character editor but at this stage it is not slowing down any other aspect of the project, so we should still be able to move on at full speed.
My timetable for this session is looking fairly good, with one lecture/lab conflict (unfortunately.) We'll be having in-person meetings and work days very soon.

6/7/2011 Google Wave Meeting

Today we had a brief meeting on Google Wave discussing our plans and project progress. Vince was absent but since it is all recorded there he can easily catch up. We've just confirmed all our project duties and roles and are getting back into gear to get this show back on the road.
