Project Roadmap

The Ji-Xpress editor is useful as is, but it can always get better. There is a short term roadmap for the application. Below are some areas where it can be enhanced to become a lot better:

Game Packs

  • The ability to load packs from .pck files, as detailed in the documentation. This will allow the product to work as a standalone binary and work with code in PCK files, and export those into proper projects.

Exporting

  • The ability to export projects into standalone game binaries or executables on various platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and Web.

Coding

  • Implement custom coding environments for objects within the scope of a scene. This will extend the current code executed at object level, and complement it with code executed within scenes.
  • Enhance the Graph Editor to be more flexible, for instance:
    • The ability to delete multiple nodes.
    • The ability to easily change the connection between nodes without deleting nodes.

Optimization

  • The current code execution model is run using a simple algorithm. For efficiency, we can instead compile the visual model into GDScript (at run time or at build time - this is when exporting the project) - and execute the GDScript instead.

Extending to 3D

  • Extend Ji-Xpress to also include 3D editing and 3D scene capabilities. Currently Ji-Xpress is only 2D.

User Experience

The user experience can always improve. Ideas are welcome for this.
