I'm already using a DB. I just use it to link to the files.

How do you store/get the blob with Maria/MySQL?

The main problem is nothing have been added graphically. I can pop out another screenie, but heh, you'll don't see much more. ANyway, I said I would do the text box engine, maybe this evening.

> inb4 Singularity, Skynet, Big Brother, and all that crap.

Missed I that day? I didn't see nothing special on the Interwebs, except some petitions. Not even a Anonymous message.

Got some neeews. I adopted a similar yet more functional methodology to program and it seems to run quietly fine. Yet text routines have to implemented again, but this weekend I'll show you the text box routine in a separated demo. It's quite modulable.

You have three routines:

• SText links the text and prepares the needed variables
• UText updates the two text buffers (one per line), it takes one character per run, changes the buffer if needed, and even scroll text (copies the second buffer on the first and rewrites after on the second).
• DText draws the buffers. If the text don't reach the second, the second won't be drawer, nor the eventually trailing remaining characters in both buffers.

You can run Utext in a loop until it reached the end of the text or if the buffers are filled, or you can run and draws them for each character. I'll take the second because i'll maybe implement custom character codes for reactions or effects (slowing the text flow, shake, whatever you want it'll implement the functions you want with some function pointers).

I have yet to make sure my code is cleaner than before and more understandable than ever. Textboxes litteralt breaks the battle flow and can be quite hard to manage, specially when characters dies/KOes (the rolling meters still roll when in a textbox, that's the hardest thing to manage in this engine)

Archlinux rocks, only when the kernels does want to run on your machine.

Yoink, I added my low-poly wallpapers. Should I add some ultra-colorful one I did with Toshop? (Disclaimer : I'll not responsible for too much colors)


EDIT : Added another low-poly Wallpaper. Do you like volcanoes?

New wallpaper. Made by myself. Good old Blender Internal render engine.

Technical infos : I used particles + render as objects for placing the trees. I added a little vertex group to limit the trees to the grass.

It's not really Linux at the moment, it's an Unix-like kernel germ. THe terminal just takes input, no shell is done. I'll try to manage to code for this project. Do you have some tasks I could do Kris?
