Wow Richard, You are a very busy beaver. The separation will be valuable as the fractal stuff can simply be a library that can be linked into a range of environments. The more generic it can be made, the easier it will be to add new features. C++ will be great for upgrading to true colour etc. Well done on a great effort.

Tim has indeed connected me to CVS and I have downloaded the FRACTINT source. Thanks Tim :o)
OK, keep an eye on the code in the branch as I'm generally transforming the entire body of source. For instance, I replace "magic numbers" as much as possible with symbols like WHICHIMAGE_RED instead of the constant 1 so that you can understand the conditionals better. This is just "phase 1" of the overhaul. The roadmap ahead includes things like engine/ui separation -- right now they are very coupled. Also on the roadmap is an eventual migration to C++ with responsibilities divided into objects and interfaces. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> _______________________________________________ Fractdev mailing list Fractdev@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractdev
