    Carver Explorer

    This is some what of a sand boxing frame work. the end goal is to create a firemonkey like solution for the fpc that would be suitable for game engine design graphic tool developement educational software.

    The Explorer model is built around a custom link list design and so it inherits a very connected nature. because of this design sharing resources is very second nature to the explorer deticated managers are not really necessary. but should one need such micro management it would be quite easy to insert.

    Scripting is also a big part of the design. it provides both structured input/output as well as a modular scripting language. a typical application in the explorer may have a number of script engines within it. each customized to the modules it controls. a shade module will contain commands to build shaders for the opengl while the texture rendering modules would have comands for loading,manipulating or creating texturing purely from script.

    currently it is more for tool development and later for exploring game engine design.while my editor still looks a little crude don't be fooled by its appearance. it uses the fold file format I created for my self many years ago. this format works with most all languages and allows me to work with large files. it is quite programable as you can see I was able to throw together a simple interactive texture editor. it still needs alot of work but I am able to high lite a number and roll the mouse wheel to change to value and hit the run button to see the changes. all the textures are create from scripts and will be part of the framework when it is finished.

    Imagine I've written something clever here inspiring you to make something awesome. If that happens give me credits

    Aside from the font, thats some good work indeed
    I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.

    I see that you are using Perlin Noise for texture generation. Would you mind sharing sorce code for it so I can do some comparison with my Perlin Noise like algorithm that I made for myself? Mostly I would just like to do some speed comparison bethween them.

    Actually that is not perlin noise, I don't have a good working perlin. if you want a fast perlin then your going to have to cheat like everone else. there are many different methods out there if you take the time to dig around a bit. I'm not really doing much with perlin right now so I haven't really perused it myself this. try this http://drilian.com/category/developm...ural-textures/ and see if there are some better ideas for you
