Just a quick post today.
I have formally begun the process of porting Pirates Treasure to C.
I believe this will result in a program that runs faster, and has less issues so its a big and important step to get started.
The 'port' is going to be a partial port / partial re-write...
In part this is because some items that exist in it now I wish I had done differently; and in part because the port has the intent to eventually end up on mobile devices like iOS/Android based devices.
I may also add some new features .. particularly I want some animation to the gem filling to occur -- right now this just 'appears' in a stepped fashion that is basically 'stop-animation' rather than an animated movement from point A to point B.
I mention this item most especially because I hope to use the 2d physics that the AGK system has built into it to have the gems fall and perhaps even bounce before coming to rest in position.
And ---- maybe --- when things like the canonn gem go off cause an explosive ripple effect .. that would be awesome!
We'll have to wait and see what happens on this one though!
