TODO (Non-exhaustive list):

• Engine (Major and Significant):
  • AnimatedSprite.cpp: Line 5: Finish creating this.
  • Engine.cpp: Line 17: Platform independent basepath location.
  • Engine.cpp: Line 18: Implement pausing
  • Entity.h: Line 7: Properly implement Entity:IDCount
  • Globals.h: Line 9: Add GUI support
  • Globals.h: Line 10: Make more utility functions
  • Globals.h: Line 11: Make some sort of API documentation
  • Globals.h: Line 12: 64 bit
  • Globals.h: Line 13: Add Linux compatibility
  • Globals.h: Line 14: Get rid of inconsistencies between char* and std::string, surely the latter is better.
  • Globals.h: Line 15: BORING: Deal with licensing
  • Level.cpp: Line 116: Fix this method of iteration.
  • LinkedList.h: Line 38: Create proper iteration in contrast to lambda functions.
  • LinkedList.h: Line 152: i>length check should not be necessary? (But apparently it is)
  • LinkedList.h: Line 161: Figure out why an extra ->next is required.
  • RendererBase.cpp: Line 16: Make Vector2f the standard for positions, (perhaps recreate the functions Vector2f parameters) CONSISTENCY IS IMPORTANT
  • RendererBase.cpp: Line 41: Improve this
  • RendererBase.cpp: Line 50: Improve this
  • RendererDirect3D.cpp: Line 1: Complete the Direct3D renderer.
  • RendererOpenGL.cpp: Line 8: Make remove vsync from this.
  • RendererSDL.h: Line 14: make SDL_RendererFlip and SDL_Colour my own type to avoid SDL.h inclusion in RendererBase?
  • SoundManager.cpp: Line 7: Implement an entire resource manager which encapsulated the soundmanager and renderer.
  • SoundManager.cpp: Line 8: MP3s with SDL Mixer MUST be of a bitrate of 256kbps and 44100Hz sample rate. (Fix this is possible?)
  • SoundManager.cpp: Line 36: Add validation to PlaySound()
  • Sprite.cpp: Line 71: Fix Vector Conversion
  • Sprite.cpp: Line 77: Shorten or Clean Collision Perhaps. Use an external handler?
  • Sprite.cpp: Line 89: Implement Box/Sphere AND per pixel collision detection.
• Game (Minor and virtually pointless):
  • Player.cpp: Line 8: Rotary collisions
  • Player.cpp: Line 96: Sort out the position of this.
  • SpaceLevel.cpp: Line 18: Urgent: Fix bug, where when the second to last entity is deleted, the player is no longer iterated through.
  • TestEntity.cpp: Line 14: Figure out why this text renders green.
  • TestEntity.cpp: Line 73: Get rid of Input() perhaps? (Maybe make it do the same thing as Tick with deltatime).

Changelog

• 2-7-14:
• Prepared for release:
  • Fixed a few warnings/errors
  • Redid the makefile to work in ANY directory.
  • Removed needless Entity.cpp class inside src/ which was there for no particular reason.
• 3-7-14:
  • Created THIS changelog.
  • Fixed filepaths containing '' by replacing all '' to '/'
  • Updated SDL from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3
  • Added launch message. Engine.h -> "virtual void LaunchMessage()"
  • Added version control Globals.h --> "Global::ENGINE_VERSION" type std::string
  • Added basic timer class
• 4-7-14
• Version -> Alpha 0.02
• Implemented LinkedLists (TODO: Fix deletion, improve and add better iteration)
• Changed compilation to C++ 14. (-std=C++1y)
• Added a pointless linkedlist example to TestEntity.cpp DefaultProperties
• 5-7-14
  • Added SDL_ttf. (Yay more dependencies)
    • libfreetype-6.dll
    • SDL2_ttf.dll
  • Added some minor TODOs.
  • Version -> Alpha 0.03
  • RendererBase.cpp/RendererBase.h:
    • Added: Vector2 LocalToWorldVector(Vector2 in)
    • Added: Vector2 WorldToLocalVector(Vector2 in)
    • Self-explanatory, really.
• 6-7-14
  • Version -> Alpha 0.035
  • Made SetRenderView(int x, int y); set the view at the CENTRE of the screen
  • Added -Vector2 and -Vector2f operators.
  • Found the cause of the jitter. Remember to use .ToInteger() with Vectors. Vector -> FloatVector conversions need to be improved.
• 7-7-14
  • Version -> Alpha 0.04
  • Implemented SDL_mixer (badly?)
  • Fixed font directory finding by making it use a base directory of the executable folder. (Only works in windows) (Bye bye multiple OS support for a while.)
• 8-7-14
  • Version -> Alpha 0.045
  • Fixed vector magnitude functions. (Thanks Coi!)
  • Fixed LinkedList deletion!
• 20-7-14 / 21-7-14
  • Version -> Alpha 0.05
  • Added readme generation (python3) (23:59)
  • Moved SDL_mixer out of RendererBase class. (0:30)
  • Added lots of TODOS (1:05)
• 21-7-14
  • Version -> Alpha 0.055
  • Fixed RenderView function. It is a lot easier to work with now.
  • Gave Sprite class a purpose. (Already supports textures)
  • Origin of sprite texture is the centre. (Is this bad?)
• 24-7-14
  • Implemented an FPS counter.
  • Got sick of 60 fps and disabled VSync. (Everything experienced a spasm. Character was moving too fast, the tick function was in the render function and was called a the same rate!)
  • Fixed a memory leak in SDLRenderer::RenderFont(). Surface and Texture was not being Freed/Destroyed. (First memory leak, found during the spasm as the render rate was so high!)
  • Implemented Tick using Timer class to fix the spasm. (Gameplay is very smooth now).
  • Added float LevelSpeed to Level.cpp
  • Tick function now is Tick(float DeltaTime) (Multiply all movement with DeltaTime)
  • Iterated through the game and made these changes to each Entity respectively.
  • Whoa! 5000 fps when holding left to remove the other entities. This sure is cool! I bet you don't get 5000 fps playing Call of Duty! Hah!
  • Updated Generation to include line numbers in the TODO list.
• 27-7-14
  • Added AnimationSprite class (Work in progress)
  • Fixed a linkedlist bug, where iterate would attempt to call the lambda function when h_node->x is a nullpointer and the linkedlist is empty.
  • Did not commit. (Started updating OpenGL)
• 27-7-14
  • Version -> Alpha 0.065
  • OpenGL renderer dealt with. It is now functional and set to default. (It can be changed with one line of code. See: Engine::Initialize())
