I used it to make a game, which helped with a major debug to have an active game running
I spent awhile on a major rewrite of almost the entire engine, and 2 months on just optimizing.
When I said rewrite I didn't mean a slight change or 2 in every sub, i meant heavy modifications that resulted in big improvements and follow proper coding standards/conventions
Right now im currently working on its 2nd rewrite, which features an moderately advanced directX8 system, and the other major components are being rewritten.
In total, its about 8-9 month months of programming, maybe 650 hours? possibly alot more...
I think that the engine is pretty advanced so far, and still has alot lot more to come
As for the GUI, Adrian made them for me (the guy selling a GUI in the buying/selling forum)
But yeah, those screenshots are kinda old, expect more =)
Wow, amazing.
My questions are more towards
where'd you start with your DX8 system?
