Over the past few weeks, I have done a ton of work on the engine. Unfortunately, most of the things I have been working on don’t have a visual component, so there is no video this time around. However, I would still like to give an update on the stuff that I have been working on, so here’s sort of a “build note”-style update:
- Added debug drawing for velocity and acceleration on physics objects
- Switched my graphics system to use pure DirectX, rather than DirectX with SDL
- Programmed mouse input and full screen again, as it was done with SDL before
- Handled minimizing in full screen
- Stopped the game from updating when the window doesn’t have focus
- Added in a system to draw fonts, including custom typefaces
- Added game pad (USB controller) support!
- Made full screen letterbox the window so that circles in windowed mode will be circles in full screen mode, rather than them being squished/stretched to look like ovals
- Lots of code cleanup
