nice again

- 2007-09-20

It's time to reveal at least some details of the nice engine which have been implemented yet and to be done in the future. As said, it'll be programed in C# using MDX and be shipped as a single library - okay, with some helpers. My goal is to provide a quick support for some very basic 3d stuff.

Things that have already been done (boring):

• User devicemode selection *urg*
• Console support, with programable commands
• Keyboard mapping capabilities

Things that have to be done (I need a clone of my own):

• XML based assignment of commands and keyboard mappings
• Camera system
• View frustum culling (octree and quadtree)
• Support for x files and user defined quad-meshes
• Skyboxes und skyspheres
• Multitexturing
• Shader support, including dot3 bumpmap and parallax mapping
• Lighting system
• Audio system

*phew* and that is only a short overview...
