Hello all!

I've been busy!

I have been in the process of making EZrotate and Enhanced Animations available to users of GDK. Both are now completely ported and working GREAT!

I still have to finish writing the examples and helpfile for Enhanced Animations, but it should be available soon.

After that, I do plan to make them available for GDK.net too, but I may need some help from Apex (or someone else that is familiar with GDK.net) to get started.

Well, just wanted to share the news

-Ron

That's great news Ron. I think many of us GDK users were starting to feel a little left out in the dark (excuse the pun). This will restore a bit of faith back into the community!

No matter how good your code is, someone will improve on it

Could be useful on this "expansion" of Visigoth''s Satellite stuff I'm toying with. Could EZRotate help me plot Long/Lat on a sphere?

I would think so. I'm not sure exactly waht you are trying to do though...


I have the first three examples of EnAn ported to GDK now. They are all working really well. Here is what the source looks like for the first example:

I'd looked at enhanced animation, but this was just when I was moving into C++ so I didn't really consider buying it. This could really help my next games. Great to see someone enhancing GDK as well as DarkBASIC.

Yes. EZrotate and Enhanced Animations are both my babies

Both are done. The installers just need built, which will be done by Mike early next week. Sorry for the delay!

I got an e-mail from Mike yesterday containing all 4 installers (DBpro EZrotate v4, GDK EZrotate v4, DBpro Enhanced Animations v1.4, GDK Enhanced Animations v1.4). I tested them out and all is good. So, as soon as they get uploaded they should both be available for purchase and/or in your order history. Hopefully all will be sorted today!

Sorry for not replying sooner. I was just waiting to see when things were going to happen!

Well... that didn't happen

Mike said that there was a couple of other things that he needs to do first.

It should be soon! Sorry again for the delays.
