Mac's turn..
Blog
8th December 2017
The framework isn't quite running properly on MacOS, so today will probably be spent trying to get that going.
For some reason, since the recent MacOS Security Update, I don't seem to be able to Remote-Desktop into the Mac via the WinLaptop.
Hopefully it's just some weird thing, requiring a reset or something, and not a hole that's been closed, making it unusable.. Hmm.. :\

Yeah!
Linux success!!
That's two systems that can now access (kinda) web based data.
A good sign that things are slowly coming together!

A brief roundup of the things I've managed to accomplish, during 2017.
1. Online ScoreboardsIt's been a long time since I last had online scoreboards in my general AGameAWeek games. iOS's GameCenter made me lazy, and I could never be bothered to implement anything more complicated into my Framework. But this year, I opted to take on the challenge, so right at the start of this year I added an "Enter Your Name" thing into my framework, and tied the scoreboard system to the server....Views 855, Upvotes 46

WinSock only took 2 days to get right.
Today I'll be needing to attempt the same thing with Linux.
I'm sure that'll be a totally painless, and easy task!

Repeating itself?

6th December 2017
I finally dug my heels into the Net code, last night.
For the meantime, it'll be very Windows specific, and I'll have to tackle each different system in it's own way.

Mac's Turn
Blog
5th December 2017
Logging into the Mac, I copied the AGameAWeek Framework folders over, and tried to run a lengthy scrambled mass of "Terminal" (stop calling it Command Prompt, Jay!) commands in order to get it compiling.
After about an hour or so of tweaking the command, I got the thing outputting GLFW errors, which is an improvement from what I started with!

I need to add a bunch of default options to the menu, for generic functions like Fullscreen, Debugmode, Overscan and things like that.
However, I also need to consider future projects, too.

The Mac Updated...
Blog
19th November 2017
So, after having read up on URL access for a couple of hours, I managed to get about 0% through it, yesterday.
I might actually end up trying to find a proper book on the subject, and having a good focused read-through. .. Although I imagine any book would probably focus on Win/Linux, and not the cross-platform usage I'm after.
I've really coded myself into a pickle, here!

Today I've been working through what will and won't be part of the "Framework".
That is, what values and settings and functions should be "Framework", which should be "Engine" and which should be "The Game".

I struggled for about an hour with C Strings, or rather Char* strings.
They're a total pain in my backside, so at the start of the project I opted to do something that I thought would be "quite clever"

I probably shouldn't, yet, but I feel that things are at a decent enough point that I can make a start on things.
I still have oodles of things to add to the Engine, like proper load/save functions, and doing online URL requests for the online leaderboards.
And, of course, I've still not got the new engine running on iOS, yet. That definitely needs doing!

OK, a fair number of tweaks in the past few hours (and a nice big nap, too!)
I'm now running Ubuntu32Bit, and have recompiled the Benchmark test with (hopefully!) all the important libraries Statically Linked, thus apparently making for a more compatible ".exe"
You can grab the Benchmark Test here.
If it runs, let me know.
More importantly, if it doesn't, let me know!
Thanks, again, for any and all testing.

DevelopmentsI finally got around to shifting the framework over to the Mac, last night. Hitting the compile button swiftly planted around about 1,000,000,000 red "WARNING:ERROR!" flags all over the code.Views 127, Upvotes 56

I tried to figure out MOD playing, last night, but that didn't go very well at all!
Today, I'll probably focus on OGG playback, instead.
