Soon, my child, sooooooooon :monkey: Yes there's something visual. It's a 2D rendering of the LTverse so that I can continue bringing over the simulation and see that it's behaving. It's embarrassing and I refuse to post it until the 3D frontend is online (I mean, the engine is already capable of 3D rendering, I just haven't brought the algorithms and shaders over yet). I've been neglecting the 3D side in favor of bringing over the mechanics / simulation / AI. This is a good thing IMO...for once I'm not giving graphics priority :ghost:

Coming after a long time. Wanna see how things are going. Seams too slow to progress i guess. Well, back then i backed 2 games but i missed LT to back on kickstarter. The other 2 games have finally came out on steam. But LT...
Just hope it will come out some day and i get the chance to play it.

Good to go, back down to 0 :)

In all seriousness, LT basically always compiles these days since A) It's Python and it's difficult to screw up in python badly enough to get run-time errors that you can't fix in 30 seconds and B) The platform that launches everything, performs the JITing and other native functionality changes very little compared to LT. As you can see compile errors in the actual C++ are rare and usually benign, thanks to the fact that I'm not having to do incredibly fancy stuff (like a billion macros to make C++ reflection work, more macros and templates to make flyweights work efficiently, etc...these things are trivial in Python)!
Such beautiful colours, much nice font. Wow. :D

I use dropbox for my version control (wait, what?). Yeah, seriously, consider it: I have like 4 different machines at the moment, and I need code to be current across all of them. At the same time I need the ability to rollback. Dropbox makes both easy (you pay an extra $15 or something like that per year to get an entire year's worth of version history regardless of how many versions there are or how big the file is....that's kind of amazing). The moment I save a file it's as though I've committed a new version, which is immediately available on other machines. Yes, this is awesome for a solo developer. No, don't try this on a team or many people will be angry.

Josh,

so as someone who does a fair bit of coding myself, have you considered using a local git repo on top of dropbox? Dropbox is great and all, but managing all of the data can get quite complex quite quickly, also reversion is a lot more difficult in dropbox as you don't have any contextual information along with the change (e.g. "This fixes XYZ", or "Adding feature A"). Further branching and merging aren't possible when using dropbox, as it only keeps a singular timeline.

As for the file changes, the number of times to save a file doesn't exactly indicate the size of the deltas from version A to version B. Al it states is that you have hit the save button. For example, I could show you that I have hit the save button on a file 1k times, but only really made 300 useful changes to the file.

Just my 2c.
