Davve Remaking Mine-imator

[ZerbGames 55]

I was talking in message with David and he said he was switching over to C++ and remaking Mine-imator!  Seriously so don't expect a Mine-imator update for a while?

Also, he might of already announced this, IDK and if anybody could help out with this process of converting from GameMaker to C++.

 

Update:

"He is eager to dive right into graphic development in C++."   At least that's what he said meaning that Mine-imator isn't that far away.

 

Update2:

This is more so directed towards you ÜberKiller.  So I don't think he'll be porting it over anytime soon.

hmm i guess those black things are private?

What sfe behind those blsck bars?

That's a let down for me

Private enough it's top secret!

This would have been better to post at

 

As for the topic, I'm pretty sure this sounds like the reason why the new update is taking a while. If ported in C++ this would make Mine-imator virtually limitless now.

I never understood programming. How can you make something in C++? It's pure lines of code?

Exactly!  If you're wondering how they get like images and stuffs they set up stuff called paths which describes the location of the file.

Please stand by. You will be Upgraded. Welcome to the C++.

 

That's cool. We may finally see the end of all those unfix-able GM bugs. And hopefully less lag all around.

Ugh. Waiting for the update takes so LONG,

C++ isn't 'pure' lines of code.

You should understand that when you code or program, the computer doesn't understand a thing.

It's a 'human' language. Every programming language is only understandable by a human.

That's why you have compilers, which 'translates' it into 'machine code', something the computer can understand and make tasks off.

Essentially, you can make anything a programming language, you'll just need something for it to be converted into machine code.

 

It's alot more complicated then that, but that's border of how it works.

It's pretty much coding other than doing art work along with it.

Woah, cool! It'll be great to get rid of those Gamemaker barriers.

[Penecho 797]

Oh boy, C++. I'm getting excited.

Forgive me for asking, but how will this affect .MPROJ files? Will the C++ version be able to read those still?

[Mineupfast 1k]

Completely remaking the whole thing, huh?

...

This will take a long time.

Yeah it'll be awesome!

And yes, I'd imagine so

The .MPROJ files are encrypted/encoded/whatever I believe.

So davve will only have to decode/decrypt/omg them using the same seed and algorithm and he can easily pull the data and variables off it.

That's what I'd imagine atleast.

David did say the codes just need to be converted and that they are similar. It won't be an overhaul kind of time. If it did it would explain why the update is taking a while.

[Littleman9Mew2 206]

This is great news to everyone! The program is able to bypass some barriers that gamemaker just couldn't do! And be able to add MANY feature along with this, like Ambient Occlucion, Volumetric Lighting, and of course the 1.8 Mobs and Blocks!

[Rabbit 1.7k]

Wait.. C++..? Could this mean actual Physics (Instead of the bouncy particles on Particle Creator), Different layout (Probably not), crisp shadows, AND a possible ragdoll feature?

 

Lol, Jk, I think that's too much twerk.

[Allemn 2.6k]

There might be facial expressions, More shapes, More body bends on characters on C++.

[Mr. Cat 1.2k]

NURBS?

[Sickmind33 197]

omg yes

I'm not quiet sure what he is planning he never really specified weather or not he was re-making all the concepts or doing a completely different system.

I assume it will just be a C++ port of the current code + more features as planned. I remember David telling me in the past that this version would be bigger than anyone had anticipated, so this says quite a lot.
