Need a better framework.

[vgmdev]

Is there a better framework to work with than exampleapp...

[stodge]

Only if you write it yourself.

Kidding!!!

Try http://www.yake.org.

Maybe this page in the Ogre wiki could help?

There is one being developed in conjunction with some wiki articles by bleeder. However page one has just started. I could give you mine under a BSD license (free to use, distribute, modify) . I'm developing my own and planning on releasing it. It works decently now, I just haven't documented or cleaned it up. It's about 3000 lines of code and handles input, smooth rotations, object management, basic animations. Here is a class list:

Code: Select all

Application	
CameraObj	
Input	
InputHandler	
InputManager	
InputSDL
InputOgre
InputGII
Listener	
Ninja	
Object	
Robot	
Speaker

I know that no-one else has replied yet, but I'd be interested inseeing it:)

discipline: the links on your site don't work. Do you have any code we can see - examples?

[discipline]

My site isn't advertised anywhere, except I suppose in my www link here in the forums. I just set it up. Let me piece together and clean up my frame work and I'll post it.

I'm interested in EVERYTHING. So yeah, can't wait to see it.

I'm currently working on 3rd person camera so the camera object interests me

(off topic) maybe you can go and work for ubisoft, they seem to be having a lot of trouble getting this right

Falagard: sorry to disappoint, but it is just a simple wrapper that is responsible for it's own pitch/yaw node and camera creation right now. I've spent more of my time in the object class with quaternions.

everyone else: Ok, I could tinker with it forever! It is clean enough for now. I'll just make a small announcement here and anyone who notices can grab it. If you guys find it useful, and as it grows I may advertise its availability more. This is just a simple framework that allows one to get off the example framework. However it does provide some cool things such as:

• * Smooth rotation of objects using nlerp
  * Basic terrain collision detection of objects and camera
  * Better design than the example framework
  * Basic animation and movement logic built in to a world object

The project is named solar or solar framework. You can find the code on my site: http://code.adaptableit.com/code/solar
License is BSD which is even less restrictive than Ogre's (LGPL).
What's in the package is the sample framework (all under solar/*), and a sample program (sample/*). Your project is based off of modification or by example from sample/*. By leaving the framework alone, this will ease the upgrade process. If you need more functionality the framework can be overridden instead of modified.

Oh and finally, if you want to see some simple screen shots of my sample app, look under my art link: http://code.adaptableit.com/art Nothing fancy just yet, but there is my first texture mapped object (included in the sample).

I will be downloading tonight and checking it out! TY:)

[vetts]

I'm using VS .net 2003, so it'll take me a bit to understand the code and transferstuff over, but I'm sure it'll be a great reference.

[discipline]

You won't need to port any code. Just ignore libgii, and sdl (for now) for that matter. All you need is to get the right compiler settings for MSVC. If you make a successful project file, I'd be happy to include it in the package.

[vetts]

I'll let you know if I can get it over:)

Ok Vetts, I've made a second release here: http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11998
I now support MSVC 7.1 along side gcc. Let's have future discussion on this framework in the above thread.
