Yea I'll have to damp my enthusiasm sometimes...:P
Altough I did think SADce wasn't that important atm because it is going to take somewhile before the first release. Well actually,whilst I am typing this I can see a good reason to have SADce completed soon, to make all the campaigns of course. Unfortunately I'll have to hand copy all the information I have so far so i'll surely take a look at it today.

1. Sadce
2. Xaos
3. Everything else (=42)
MASM xxxxxxxxxx aborted | SADce ====:::::: 40% -Halted until further notice| XAOS =====::::: 50% -Units done| SKYBOX2D engine ========== 100% -Pre-alpha done. Need to  document it and extend |

Not as dangerous as Velociraptor, but it gets pretty close.  The Raptor.

By the way, shadows are still included.  But we're adjusting sprite routines, and I need to adjust shadows for ground vessels so that they don't look like they're "flying."  So they are temporarily turned off.

That looks neat.  How many units are flying, and how many are ground? :)

For the human race, it's 5 ground, 4 flying.

Good work. The rotated sprites look good.

Next step is commanding a group of units, right? That would be epic. ;)

I am afraid not galandros...SAD is about having one unit at the time and switching between them at the right moment to win the battle. There is only one race that has swarming...

And even with swarming, you're still fighting technically one unit.  But I think Galandros was being sarcastic

I apologize that the public release of SAD Alpha 2 might be delayed until next week.

In the meantime, the engine now supports animated ships.  Here's the Scouter.  All ships except for the tank are done.  (I'll work on the tank when I add weapons)

So next I'll add the menu for selecting a particular ship.  For right now, you will be able to select the ship anywhere you want.

Here's a major screenshot.  You can select a ship from the menu, as well as each ship has its own speed.  Thus, a Raptor will move fastor than a Scouter, a Reclauda moves the fastest, a Splitron moves the slowest, etc.

lol, there will be collision detection.  Flying units, of course, will always go "through"--or rather, over--things.  Collision detection is my first item on the list after next week
