Sorry, your post was small and right before a huge picture, I didn't take notice of it. I hope you didn't have too much trouble trying to think out that lacking response. If I copy-pasted what you said, I would've seen what you said and it would've been pointless to repeat it. I simply missed your answer and wanted to help.

And I simply wanted to have some fun using my sarcasm skill in hope that you will not make a big deal out of it, but I see you're not the best person around when it comes to that matter. I therefore apologize for any inconvenience i may have caused to you and I will be adding you to my don't-try-to-smart-comment list soon in order to prevent such a disasterous situation in the future.

It's kind of odd that most of the things you write turn out to be sarcaramarazm.

I'd sign up for everyone's don't-try-to-smart-comment list, sarcasm doesn't translate well through the internet

I think that depends on the person who reads it, if you use sarcasm a lot in real life you're likely to expect it also on the internet.

serengor: wth is sarcaramarazm (even google couldn't help - 0 results)

Oh well, lets not occupy this thread

not boasting about the graphics.. but here is a screen shot of my work in progress level editor.

create static and dynamic platforms. i am currently finishing up the animation editing system.

the animation system itself is pretty much done, i just need to add proper gui to be able to add it in real time to platforms.

that white box is the character, rather, a debug graphics object to show where the players is.

the black line is actually outlining the path of the animation of that big flat platform.

EDIT: heres another

@ChaiRuiPeng: nice, I also plan to add moving platforms to my game, and a level editor.
Though I first need to set up physics, and some other stuff I had forgotten.

still shots never do anything justice but i havent posted a pic in a while.
seems like a vid is better. maybe soon.

CobbleStones level editor basics.

cool

the only reason is why i have not added option for rotation ( as can be seen in gui ) is i am struggling to come to a decision to which methods i should use for rotations...

obviously i am going to need eulers for the user interface... but then...

do i convert to quaternions then to rotation 3x3 in btTransform? or straight to the matrix? and i dont really know if quaternions are more stable for the types of interpolations i need for rotations... maybe matrices?

oh well ... all in good time.. that will be figure out.

I believe irrlicht should just drop the eulers and go for quaternions or matrices, they might look more intimidating but are just much more efficient to use

Eulers are easier to visualise for simple one or two axis rotations so removing them altogether might slow down productivity at the expense of efficiency.

Both quaternions and matrices are stable and accurate to interpolate rotations, irrlicht has a slerp function for quat rotations specifically for this purpose

just added a few more features

you cant really see it because i disabled lighting, but there is a rigidbody cube there in corner right

gahh

still have to add proper rotation editing.

however it is tons of fun creating these levels
and very easy, this one took me about 2 minutes

major to-do:

finalize and begin prototyping player mechanics (today)

add a few more animation control features (set current frame, synch with animation other)

add more platform primitive types (sphere, cylinder, cone)
also planned support to create from a list of 3d vertices (triangle mesh collision shape in bullet)

aanndd write a simple ambient light shader based off of spherical harmonics

add textures to platforms (very custom controlled, will have VERY nice results)
