Genesis Device First Release

[Luuk van Venrooij]

Thanks VGO

Another small update. I finally got the Editor compiling. I had major problems getting the MDI forms to work since the win32/64 LCL doesnt support them. I tried QT LCL to get it working but this gave me problems with my OGL contexts since I use normal windows API functions to create the OGL contexts for the viewports. Instead of MDI I made the parent of the viewport forms the main form. Since I don't have any easy management functions for the viewports like cascade etc I just added the 4 viewports forms with a fixed position. The editor doesn't have the fully customizable vieports anymore but for the time I want to spend on this this was the best solution.

And ofcourse a screenshot

Thanks Kordal. I`m currently still working on the 2007 version making improvements to the code

I have made lots of improvements to the 2007 version in the last few weeks. The biggest changes beeing:

- New input system without DirectX. I wanted to remove this for a possible linux port later on.
- New sound system using OpenAL instead of FMod. Again for a possible linux port later on.
- Using Lazarus generics instead of lists and typecasts everywhere.
- Made records from al math related classes. This to save memory and speedup loading times.
- Start of a new GUI system.
- New animation system for foliage of which I made a small video:



And besides that lots of other fixes and improvements So check the git repository here:
