Post subject:  Amazing work.

The idea of me making a game outside of the Game Maker software has been stuck in the back of my head since I was in high school. I am now in college and have since outgrown Game Maker and other software like it. Recently, my desire to make a game was rekindled, and my understanding of how everything works is becoming clearer to me. I have looked at quite a few game engines and rendering engines and of all the engines I have seen, not one of them have been as clean both in code and concept as Horde 3D. You all did an outstanding job, and I look forward to showing off my creations to you all. It is only a matter of time before somebody finds you and decides to make a AAA title with your work.

My current setup:
Rendering - Horde 3D
Audio - OpenAL
Physics - Custom, borrowing concepts from Bullet (or maybe just Bullet)
Custom scene manager and graph.

Welcome, Orm :wink:

I've been using Horde since version 0.6 (0.6 to 0.15, then beta1 onwards), and it's only getting better!

I'll be sure to let you guys know when my framework is ready for tests. If any of you have heard of GameMaker, I am taking some inspiration from that as far as structure is concerned. Base Actor class, simple and straightforward scene graph, etc...

I only wish there were some libs I could statically link without having to go through the BS of compiling with Microsofts' compiler. Yes, im a MinGW fan. 8)

As far as the actual API structure is concerned, I am taking heavy inspiration from Horde's structure. The idea of an OO internal structure with a clean, function based API simply makes perfect sense to me. Gimme a break, it's my first major project. I have never actually designed a program structure before, so I need a smart kid to cheat off of. :lol:

If you install MinGW and CMake, you can compile Horde for MinGW, thus bypassing Visual Studio entirely. The build command would look like this: cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" && make

If you do this, make sure you are using a very recent version of MinGW (one based on GCC 4 or later).

Sounds like my installation.
