Recently I went back through the GUI textbox code and text and changed it because I decided I could make it simpler and more straightforward. It took a while but was worth doing. Then even more recently I've moved off the GUI chapter and into the next chapter that lays down a little of the game framework and basic in-game menu. Once I've done this chapter, I'll be making a small game to finish this part of the book. After that it's combat.

Hey Dan,
ReplyDeleteWent bank and read all of the posts related to the book. It's a GREAT idea! When so to thin the book will be ready? Share the pessimistic deadline, so we know more or less when to expect it :).
*do you think, I mean. Darn autocorrection :).
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! :)
ReplyDeleteKnowing when the book will be ready is a hard question! I'm looking to get the first draft done in the next 3ish months.
Once I have the first draft, then I'll have a better idea about timing. After the draft, I want to get some art made. I'll also be doing the editing and creating all the diagrams / illustrations.
The pessimistic deadline is by the end of the year :D But I really hope it doesn't take that long!
The end of the year? It's not that long at all ;). Don't rush it, and the outcome will be better. Keep up the good work!
