vortex2d Releases Rss Feed

Updated Release: Vortex2D.NET 0.8 (alpha) (дек 20, 2010)

vlasovsv — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 21:53:43 GMT

It is first public release of 0.8 build. This version contains 99% of new code written mostly in C#. It is almost ready for use but still missing some previous functionality, key elements and some tutorials. I'll be more than glad if you test it and make a good feedback!

Things you may be interested in:

physics, integration powered with Farseer physics engine
winforms advanced integration
final Audio API powered with irrKlang
up to 30% high performance
CHM documentation

API changes

MouseListener events OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp, OnClick, OnDoubleClick, OnMove, OnWheel are renamed to MouseDown, MouseUp, Click, DoubleClick, Move and Wheel.
KeyboardListener events OnKeyDown, OnKeyUp, OnChar are renamed to KeyDown, KeyUp, EnterChar

Set of main changes comparing to version 0.7:

RenderTarget renamed into TargetTexture. It exposes interface IDrawingTarget which is also exposed by DrawingContext. Each render target has own canvas now. You can easily draw on corresponding canvas and renderer will automatically switch render targets.
For winforms application KeyboardDevice/MouseDevice now renamed into KeyboardListener/MouseListener, both exposes IMessageFilter interface and can "listen" application message queue.
SpriteAnimation is renamed into SimpleSpriteAnimation because SpriteAnimation is reserved for advanced usage with SpriteVortex usage.
Matrix2D is replaced by Transform2D. Transform2D is 3x2 matrix instead of 3x3. It supports all of transformation but consumes less memory and easier to maintain.
Window.Width/Height are replaced with single property: Window.Size.
DrawString is renamed into DrawText to make name more consistent.
MeasureString is renamed into MeasureText and becomes static. Sometimes it is very useful to measure text and calculate some bounds not having canvas.
SemiTransparent is replaced with MultiplyAlpha (also MultiplyRed/Gree/Blue are also present)
Property of MouseListener "InWindow" now renamed as "IsOverWindow"
Property of Camera2d "Transformation" now renamed as "Transform"
Texture.Surface.SetData/GetDate for bitmaps renamed to 'SetBitmapData'/'GetBitmapData'
Shaders now are stateful. Each instance of shader contains own constant set. You may change them with shader.Params.Set(....). Constants persists until you'll change them next time.
For Rotation/Scaling and Transformation order of arguments is changed a bit. Now first argument is factor or rotation angle and seconds argument (optional) is origin point for transformation.
CompareFunction enum is renamed as TestFunction.
Strokes are no longer valid since application startup. They are valid after drawing device is created. For game: Load()

Updated Release: Vortex2D 0.8 (beta 1) (Лют 06, 2011)

AlexKhomich — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:51:57 GMT

Old version of engine (0.7) becomes officially obsolete! Please do not use old API anymore because it significantly differs from new one.

Vortex2D Beta 1 changes:

polished path management, added path aliases
added gui widgets: Slider, ProgressBar, Panel, TextInput
added primitive drawing methods: DrawTriangle, DrawQuad, DrawPrimitives, DrawIndexedPrimitives
improved performance of graphics drawing 50%-200% (depends on sprite size)
updated Content Browser (content filter, FAQ link)
added new demos to Content Browser

Things are still unstable or missing:

audio API is not complete because of dependency nightmare
MutiContextDevice is not implemented
SpriteVortex interoperability
Few GUI widgets
Pacman gameplay demo based on 0.8 API version

AlexKhomich — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 19:22:16 GMT

Second release of 0.8. Main focus was made on:

Clustered resource managment system (Vortex.Resources)
SceneGraph styles. Implemented XML based style description.
SceneGraph GUI branch is started. Button, FlowLayout are already complete.
Sprite class is fully immutable. You can't modify sprite properties, only create copy with adjusted properties.
