Overdue

Well it seems that I completely forgot about making a video and went straight on to making more parts of the project! Thankfully a certain James Boote was there in a pinch to shout at me for not making said video. Things like particle effects and shaders are still missing along with the ability to save entire projects, but most stuff is covered. Have a butchers:

Time for a video?

Yayyy, drawing features are done, menu's are done and saving and loading is done. As promised, when I get the chance I will make a quick video so you can all see what the hell I've been talking about these past few months. Some bits of the program you will see are not yet finished, but it will give you a nice little glimpse of what's to come

Moving on up

Bit more progress to report ladies and men folk. Not a lot but the program is getting incredibly close to a milestone where I can make a video and start showing off what it is I've actually been doing all this time. Objects can now be re-scaled, moved to any layers above or below where it was originally placed and can also be sent to the front or back of the draw queue for that particular layer. Just one more draw option (drawing to a user defined rectangle) and maybe some additional menu's and project management features to be done and I'll post something on youtube.

Natural Selection

There's nothing like a good old case of flu (I think it was flu at least?) to make you lay in bed for 17 hours with nothing to do but ache, succumb to fever and think of all the things you'd rather be doing. Well, given my lengthy thinking time you'll be glad to know that I did indeed think about doing some work once more!

Tonight's been pretty productive to be honest. Mostly creating stuff and not running into many bugs. It's now possible to scale objects using the mouse wheel to scale up and down before placing an object and it's also possible to select items already placed as well. Being able to select things makes room for lots of new functionality. Moving them up and down layers, fine tweaking their position, resizing them or just deleting them.

At the moment re-positioning and deleting is implemented all complimented by a handy selection box shown around the object in question. Just scaling and draw order to work on next.
