Well then

So I checked the Member of the month thing and I was actually flabbergasted (if its still a word) that I was chosen. I haven't been too active this month because I have been working on my UMvC3 Team and a little of XCom EU.

I run an Iron Fist, Doctor Doom, and Dormammu team.

And just to keep this blog within an acceptable range I will update about my editor.

Not any real noticeable changes except for a little GUI switching around, but I have been optimizing it, in a sense.

Some minor changes are the implementation of the JBox2D Physics engine.

I was looking for a lightweight 2D-Physics engine and I stumbled across the Java version of the C+ Version of Box2D and I implemented it into my engine, 'nuff' said.

I was thinking of making a Testbed editor inside my editor to test the physics for the situations I plan to put into my game, but that can wait.

I also read that blog a little while back about Data oriented Design and Object Oriented design and I decided to change the way my engine handles Tile-sets and tiles to a more DoD approach, because seriously tiles don't need id's or really any references besides for their collision boxes and their location and image.

So right now with my engine you can get a JBox2D world simulating, which only outputs data (I actually like that it only puts out data and does not implement some sort of drawing function).

As far as the editor being finished goes.

I'm having a little bit of trouble with rewriting code again, because I hate to see sloppy code; it gets under my skin and just bugs the life out of me so I go back and rewrite it all cleaner.

I have, however, been setting the game up, and breaking it back down, and resetting it back up as I fiddle around with the editor and engine non-stop.

I had a thought the other day to write the editor in Java and the actual game in C, but then I was like nah not this year, maybe next year.

As a side note, does anyone else play Ultimate Marvel 3 (aka crack cocaine)?

So yeah I really appreciate the honor of being named member of the month and I hope to actively bring you guys updates and such on my crap. Thanks for reading, or am I being trolled?

Another victim of the usertag. HOW MANY MUST SUFFER?

I guess I was being trolled. :(. Sad day.

Reading that had actually made my psycho-depressive mood go away for a moment, but subsided once I realized that I just made an ass out of myself because I was being trolled. Thanks guys.

Ya I hear ya. You get use to it after falling for it a few times, but the paranoia lingers.

ludamad is stupid.

I play UMvC3 on my Vita.

Editor is looking noice.

Acid: I log out often, so when I saw that I just took it literally.

Edit: I'll stop derailing though.

Whenever I see my full name used, I always get suspicious as most people just call me Eva. When I see 'Eva Unit-01' I whip out the incognito tab and double check that shit. No chances taken.

Unless the blog is only visible to regular members. Then you'll never figure it out!

…Until someone else makes a specific comment.
