cheatking Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Some people want a bare engine to play with others are looking for something easy to piss about with making a game in. Eclipse should offer both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguk Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 > Some people want a bare engine to play with others are looking for something easy to piss about with making a game in. Eclipse should offer both.I agree with this thinking, I see no reason why we can't suit everyone's opinions and be happy for everyones decisions, so long as it fufils them.

iSnow Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think a plan of action for eclipse should be this;We provide three different builds of the base engine, remember how Ubuntu has official flavors? Like that. We provide;**Basic -** An engine that provides everything a standard Eclipse game would need, a base for anyone to work off of.**Optimal -**Same as basic minus some features that have bugs and nothing is added until deemed bug-free. Like Eclopti Rekindled basically.**Powerhouse -** Engine specifically meant to hop in with the good stuff added right in, so people can jump into Eclipse without a need for programming knowledge.Anything else should be covered to custom versions but we need a set of official choices.Just my two cents.

iSnow Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That's what I mean, that would in theory be what the Optimal flavor would be. Rob's engine being the Basic, and we'd have to find a powerhouse flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSnow Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Best part is we can have different people running different projects, the basic being the one headed by the head dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People come to the forum and get the official version. This is good because it lets people get started without being to confused of what to download. Then they explore the forum and see the many other versions of Eclipse (official old versions or custom releases). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguk Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 So the due date is around the end of November? I'm working on an engine from scratch currently.EDIT: Oh. This is vb6 only? T.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ertzel Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 You can still make an engine for Eclipse and possibly become an Eclipse Developer, just not for the vb6 portion this contest is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helladen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 > If the community is going to vote, I would like someone to do a breakdown of the code, for each one or for a few of the more promising ones. Maybe a couple of people could do it so it goes faster or whatever.> > As far as engines go, if anyone rewrites the packet system with UDP packets they have my vote, unless they seriously duck up.Why would you want UDP? UDP is more for p2p type of networking. TCP is more trustworthy, and managing packets would become a much bigger mess in my opinion.I think anyone who wants to improve the core engine and not add more features would be a good replacement, but good luck to whoever wants to take Jscinder's place.
