I scrapped the idea of getting AndroidDev working on the PC. It just isn't going anywhere. .. But I wonder.. What would happen if I install the Android SDK/NDK devkit into one of my new Linux VirtualBox installs? Would that work any better?!

Android still isn't do-able.

The iOS edition of the new framework now crashes upon loading.

I swear, if I see another system update, this week, I'm going to go crazy..

I swear it only just updated with the Fall Creators' Update a week or so ago. But, nope.. doing it all again!!

I spent FAR too long working on a Triangle, yesterday.

Been coding WAY too much, these past few weeks. I needed another rest day!

As I dig my heels into the true Framework part of the Framework, there's still loads of bits and pieces to tackle on the ground floor.

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!

I knew something annoying would crop up. I just knew it!!

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".

Yesterday was full of background tasks. I added a HSV colour function, fiddled with line-thickness, got a vague "plot" working.

Yesterday was full of tweaks. As I posted here, the Todo list is looking fairly complete, but this is still only the background engine for the new C++ framework.

Spent tonight going through my todolist, checking things off, and generally fixing a few things that aren't quite up to 100% yet.

I posted Benchmark 2 over on Socoder, yesterday. You can Download the Benchmark here.

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.

The Benchmark thing from the other day starts running well on the Linux setup, but seems to crash after about 2 minutes..

I 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.

Most folk seem to be giving me successful results with yesterday's benchmark test program. If you haven't already, Do so here!

I've been working on basic String functions, since last night. Left, Right, Mid, Trim, SplitTxt and other generic "Basic-like" functions that I'm going to be relying on because I'm rubbish at doing C-strings.
