Faces and Particles

For this update, I fixed graphical bugs and implemented new features.

Mouse Menu Support

Now, you can click on menu buttons with your left mouse button to use them. I really should have done this earlier.

Sky Color Change

I changed the sky color because I noticed certain particle effects are invisible, so I used dark blue instead.

Particle Rendering Support

For this release, I had implemented particle rendering. While they can be placed on the map in code, I am not using them yet.
Moving on, I have implemented the particle renderer which is there to view the particles.

Star Rendering Support

This is a three star combination which demonstrates that all 3 known forms of stars can be used. 4 sided, 8 sided and 12 sided stars where encountered.

Before

No, more are they these static cross patterns. Note: The exporter uses this pattern still.

After

They will face the camera like the original did. Only one axis is necessary which reduces triangles.

Billboard Rendering Support

Like the stars, billboards also faces the camera.

Precision Bug Render Fix

After upgrading my computer's graphics card, I encountered a bug that happens with certain drivers/graphics cards that certain other people where having. There was a precision bug that probably affected all the way back when this repository was uploaded. It affect OpenGL ES 2 render path. The reasons are difficult to explain, but they where caused by basically being too little resolution for the positions on certain machines.

Before

While I am not giving this bug any justice the title screen looked like this... (If you cannot see it, there are supposed to be vents rather than complete holes to lava.)

After

Now, everything looks normal.
