Week 01 Feedback

Needs for making demos.

There were several internal changes to the Foxtrot Engine, but not many features to show as a demonstration. However, studio GooCat will find ways to display the changes in the system - an example.exe may be a good idea.

As an alternative, the sample code to run the changes - the result will be shown on the console window - is posted below.

Added Features

1. Sorted Foxtrot Data Structure files by categories.

   • Comparing algorithms
   • Dynamic Data Structures
   • Searching algorithms
   • Sorting algorithms
   • static Data Structures
     
     

2. Added items to Foxtrot Data Structures (FTDS).

   • Dynamic Data Strucuture

     • LinkedList

         FTDS::LinkedList<int*> list;
       // Pushing into the list
       list.Push(new int (0));
       list.Push(new int (1));
       list.Push(new int (2));
       list.Push(new int (3));
       list.Push(new int (4));
       // Getting the size of the list
       size_t size = list.Size();
       printf(“Size : %zu \n”, size);
       // Peeking the data at the index pos
       printf(“Elements : “);
       for (size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i)
       {
       int element = *list.Peek(i);
       printf(”%d “, element);
       }
       printf(”\n”);
       // Clearing the list - memory deallocation
       while (!list.IsEmpty())
       {
       printf(“Popping: %d\n”, *list.Back());
       delete list.Back();
       list.Pop();
       }
       

       

     
     

     • CircularStack (Actually, this needs some bugfixes)
       




3. Added Components

   • a. Text Renderer based on tilemap
   
   
   
   

4. Added Behaviors derived from class Component.

   • Added CollisionEvents functions to base class Behavior
     • CollisionEnter
     • CollisionStay
     • CollisionExit
     
     

5. Removed obsolete mDrawOrder from class Component.

   • The D3D11's Z-buffer already does the same job.
     



6. Stripped the suffix "Component" from the name of each Components.
   
   

7. Revised ResourceManager key.

   • VALUE_NOT_ASSIGNED is set to 0, not -1.
     

In case you don't know what I'm working on...

Foxtrot Engine 2D is a 2D game engine based on DirectX 11 for Windows. It includes Foxtrot Editor which allows users to create & modify scene data, and Foxtrot Engine which executes the produced game based on those data. Scene data are stored as a ".chunk" file, which is a file structure that describes the game data and the required resources. Foxtrot Engine has been developed by JungBae Park from GooCat Studio for the game in development, "SPARED".
