KonsolScript

Back in November 2009, I begged for some book-donation as additional resource for further development of Quixie.

Finally, after six months, a friend way back college gave me a used copy of Game Programming Golden Rules. Funny that is only sells for USD 2.00 in Amazon — for a book that contains advanced topics in game development?!? Oh, well. Pretty good bargain, I say.

Thanks, Lester.

Quixie’s development has been busy throughout May 2010. Quixie is getting a revamp on rendering engine. Cairo is being used to support vector-rendering.

As such, new commands were added to Draw class:

• BeginFill(color, destination)
• CurveTo(x, y, destination)
• Clear(destination)
• LineStyle(thickness, color, destination)
• LineTo(x, y, destination)
• MoveTo(x, y, destination)

All of which are only functional on the cairo-build of Quixie.

With such functionality, a simple rotating 3D cube can be scripted just like the one below.

You can build Quixie with Cairo as rendering engine by executing make_cairo.bat — or download the precompiled demo for Windows. Still going to work for GNU/Linux platform.

Finally decided to release a Quixie installer for Windows. This doesn’t mean that Quixie is better than FreeKE. Neither is FreeKE dead — though there is a plan to stop FreeKE’s development, (which already has for more than a year now), once Quixie is more stable and supports all what FreeKE does.

This means Quixie needs testing under Windows just as in GNU/Linux platform.
