Is Phoenix still being developed?
I'm thinking of using it in one of my projects but I would like to know if there will be some new versions and updates.

Well it aint dead if it that you mean, i have some serious lack of spare time to devote to it atm through, but I always have time for support and questions about the engine

Oh, and this code appears to be an approximate replacement for return(random() & 0x01);

Thanks for reply, that's good to hear (except the lack of spare time of course).

I'll be using Phoenix for my Multiplexity entry. Is there a version newer than Phoenix2006-11-17.rar from phoenixlib.net out there somewhere? I'll be probably doing some modifications/additions/fixes to Phoenix (some new GUI controls, some canvas drawing - line/circle/..., another texture manager, maybe DXTC for textures, ...).Well it aint dead if it that you mean, i have some serious lack of spare time to devote to it atm through, but I always have time for support and questions about the engine

Hey, sorry for the late reply, have been moving to a new apartment thus i've had no internet for a while.Originally Posted by Galfar
There's no official release since november, there's however a number of fixes done since then, for instance the canvas drawing is added already, aswell as some fixes to the gui engine, default buttons and some other stuff.
What part of the texture management do you feel is lacking in Phoenix, exept for DXTC compression ?

Hey Andreaz!
I have some questions regarding Phoenix. I'm a total newbe to OpenGL, I've been looking at Phoenix sources to see how to use Ogl in 2d. Phoenix turned out to be something what I've been looking for, it totally suits my needs for 2d. Now the question is, does Phoenix allow such process:
1) do Phoenix stuff in 2d
2) swith to 3d view by OpenGl routines
3) do 3d OpenGL stuff (model animation)
etc. I.e., is there a possibility of stable mixing Phoenix/OpenGL?
Yeah thats's totally possible, i dont mess with OpenGL in some special way to make it 2D only, there's a setOrthoMode function in phxScreen that sets the screen to orthographic mode as defaultOriginally Posted by godbeast
I have no plans right now of creating any model animation stuff myself for it but there's no problem from the phoenix point of view of implementing it. (You may wanna skip the imagelist for loading textures for the models and go via the texrure loading classes as the imagelist creates some overhead to speed up the 2D rendering that's not needed for 3D textures)

Just great, thats what I need. Phoenix seems easy to use, learing OpenGL is different, but I plan to implement model animation system myself (you will probably be faster than me).
Could you please put those new sources somewhere for download?Originally Posted by Andreaz
I just don't want that 1MB FreeImage DLL so I will add alternative loader.Originally Posted by Andreaz
