Gaia Pulse Practical Test Complete

hahaha oh wow. that glitch.

Gaia Pulse Engine 100% Complete!

Gaia Pulse's engine is now 100% complete and functioning according to plan and specifications.

Instead of going into the particulars of the skeletal animation system, here is a test of it!

It needs XNA4.0's Redistributal to run.

Now to finish the tool!

Part Manager (Mostly) Finished!

Tonight's progress! The part manager is completely functional and complete. Tonight's notes:

-Integrated XNA's Content Pipeline fully: More like foolly. Still, it's there, and working.
-Coded Anchor Hotkeys: Easy as pie. Not much to say about this.
-Camera Mouse Control: Set up mouse controls for the camera. It works logically regardless of zoom level.
-Save/Load: Everything saves and loads properly now.

Would have done the other two sets of mouse control, but I was busy derping all over my matrices and failing to predict their outcomes in a useful manner. Joy.

Some more work!

Been a while since I had an update. Been snoozin' like a madman and playing some Sly Cooper. Anyways... Today's update's...

-Texture Assigning: The program now checks for what costume you're editing for the part, and presents to you the list of textures assigned to use for that costume. From this list you can now assign a texture to your part.

-Texture Loading: Loads a texture from a file path. Simple stuff, but I hadn't gotten around to implementing it yet.

-Anchor Point System: Got the anchor point system working. Made the texture, which has borked colors due to my project setup. Gonna put that on the top of my list to fix. Still, it works perfectly fine, other than the fact that I have yet to code the hotkeys to actually move them. Also that crappy font.

Got the To-Do list done for Gaia Pulse.

Gaia Pulse is the name of Aftermath Saga's skeletal animation system, and the tool for creating such animations. I'll be posting the progress made up until today as I finally got around to making the to-do list. I'll be reposting this list daily as I get stuff done from now on. I suppose I should also post some images after the list is complete.
