Back to Road Map.
Overview
This is the list of (low-level) coding tasks that still have to be implemented (or finalized) in order to re-create Wasre's Edge.
Dependencies
None
Requirements
- Completely implement/test loading/saving across all modules of the engine. (in progress)
- Complete Pathfinding implementation to support different floor levels. (done)
- Make engine aware of aspect ratio used by graphics (see [1])
- Implement actual game launcher and main loop
Based on worldtest, but with no hardcoded references to any game data. After engine initialization, control should be handed over to a Python script - Support i18n of strings in our (XML) data files.
- Implement more stable map file format to better support distributed editing (done).
- Evaluate/Implement render to texture for SDL 1.3 backend (see [2])
- Fullscreen/Windowed mode switching
(optional, see [3]) - Evaluate/implement support for SWIG -builtin feature
(optional, but might give a performance boost on slow devices. see [4]) - 'See-Through-Walls' [5][6]
(not strictly required, but came back to my attention while browsing the ML) - Implement Map Events (i.e. events that fire when characters enter or leave defined areas of the map). [7]
(may not be required for Waste's Edge, as we do not need to 'teleport' between submaps.) (done).

- Loading/Saving design [9][10] and current implementation in Git [11]
The test data has quick-saving/loading hooked to F5 and F6, but loading is only a stub [12] (search for 'handle_keys') - Thoughts about map format and distributed editing [13]
(implemented for connectors, but not yet for the map file)
