This is pretty much a dump of what I’ve been working on during making this port. It also contains some dev screenshots.

Day 33 + image of the day

more run-time text fixes, some client code fixes (numlines identification game code was just broken, it worked just because gos_GetStringLength were taking into account region)

added word wrap for rendering

big todo: rewrite this client code: aFont::height

Day 32 + image of the day

added VERY SIMPLE AND UGLY (tm) text rendering.. and it is also slow and incorrect, but hey! you can see text!

also fixed memeory corruption, phew….

need to think about resource resuage, same textures/fonts are loaded several times alsways creating new resource, this is not good!

Day 31

bunch of text_tool fixes, nothing interesting :-/ :-)

October 25, 2016

Day 30

continued with tex_tool and runtime for font support

Day 29

nothing fancy just implemented simple text utility, it creates text texture along with some glyph info from .ttf files. I am using SDL_ttf library for this

Day 28

started to create basic font creation utility, because I need to get text working and do not know format of d3f fonts used in MC2.

Added very basic texture support, now I see some textures,… and have some crash on exit which I need to investigate now :-), I mean later… :-)

Day 26 + image of the day

got first something on a screen! (see screenshot!)

basically added quads/lines/points/tris drawing (no textures yet, though) and some render states support (blending, depth test/write etc…)

and also wrote first shader

Day 24

many small fixes (random, current heap pointer, etc..) mainly due to not implemented error reporting )), so I can see what was wrong before :-)

now it seems that we do not have any obvious errors, so I split some render related functions to a separate file and added some stub-like implementation for text rendering and so on

Day 25

added minimum code to draw quad just to be sure that whole chain is setup correctly, now I have a quad on a screen :-)

still it is not drawn by mc2, but rather by my own code moved from my previous projects, but more to come!
