Day Fourteen

If you've tried to run the previous two releases, you may have been greeted with this message:

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect...

This is due to so-called "side-by-side" issues. You can get the earlier releases running by downloading and installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package. I'm fixing the issue by statically linking my app, so future releases (including today's) won't require this.

So, on to today. Home from mum and dad's for tea, then some pottering around, where I

• got the project statically linking;
• disabled texture blurring for that ye olde schoole pixellated effect;
• implemented viewport panning and zooming;
• got a follow-cam working.

So download and explore. Controls are now as follows:

• a, d: move the guy
• space: jump
• q, e: rotate
• cursor keys: move viewport
• pgup, pgdn: zoom viewport
• p: toggle debug
• l: toggle camera lock
• esc: exit

Hmmm... don't expect this productivity burst to last forever! But, while it does, future plans are:

• Animation
• Sound FX
• Particles
• Data file format, and loading
