Project Construction Zone (New Surface Base Editor)

See my PM to you about the setup dialog.

Thanks for testing everyone. I did some unexpected traveling this past week so I was unable to work, but i'm back on the job.

Almost done

As if now, I am happy to say that ALL core programming work is completed. I wrote over 300,000 lines of code and after intense review, reduced it to 130,000 lines of code. Maybe that's a little bit to some of you hardcore programmers, but it sure was a lot for me. All that's left to do is the GUI and that's going to be no picnic. Don't give up on me just yet because I'm almost finished.

 

[ewan]

Still working. I've currently created and completed about 13 dialogs.

I'd be interested in joining the Beta testing when the software is ready.

@Graham2001
Sure. I'll invite you to the group after I finish typing this. The group is how I know who to contact when I'm ready.

@Everyone
I had originally planned to split the "Object Browser" for the surface base wizard into to seperate components, but it's giving me too much grief so I redesigned it. It now resembles a complex version of the photoshop layers dialog. That way, implementing a lot of management functions (ex. renaming, grouping) will be a piece of cake. It's just taking a LONG TIME.

I also would like to note that I'm doing some mandatory traveling on July 22 and I'll be away for 10 days. I need to buy a laptop so that things like this don't happen. Sorry.

 

[ewan]

Sorry for the hold up. I've been dealing with quite a lot these past couple of weeks and I didn't have much time to do anything. Furthermore, I'm back in school, but it's my senior year so I won't have much work. Anyway, I've been designing a schedule to keep me on track with this project. I'll post it when it completely finished, but I just want to make everyone aware that every weekend, I'll be submitting a new version of the the program.

Once again, I apologize for the hold up.

Schedule

Here are the upcoming 3 major dates. I have to pace myself now that I have a little less time to dedicate to this project.

September 5, 2009 - Setup Complete
September 12, 2009 - Object Explorer Complete
September 19, 2009 - Graphical Viewport Complete

There's a good chance I'll finish some of this stuff early. In that case I'll change the upcoming dates accordingly.

 

[ewan]

Core

IO = 100% complete
Math = 50% complete

GUI

Setup = 100% complete
Dialogs = 20% complete
Object Explorer = 30% complete
Calculator = 10% complete
Organizer = 50% complete
Packager = 10% complete
Archiver = 30% complete
graph = don't even get me started (I mean that in a bad way)

this is what I have so far.

 

[ewan]

Yes!!

YESSS!!! 2D GRAPH IS AT 95% COMPLETION. I've been experimenting with so many different formulas and programming loops for the last 2 weeks and I'm so happy that it's almost finished. It took me so long because there was a whole lot of unnecessary looping that made the program slow; I was trying to figure out how to make it faster. Anyway, the last thing that I need to do is complete the "Object Explorer" and then the first OFFICIAL alpha can begin.

It's been a while since I last posted. Because of some performance issues, I had to restructure a great deal of the internal works of the program. Right now, I learning how to work with mesh files.
