The June version of libN2L-4 which is still pretty much unusable is now up and ready for download. This is release is semi-special as it is likely the version that the Onyx Beta is built with. That isn't a promise, but it seems likely. There are a few fixes and new features, particularly in the GUI code. Important as well is a fix for a long standing problem with cAutoPtr which would cause auto pointers to misbehave as keys in std::map. As always the documentation is updated and you can download n2l or check out the documentation in the usual places.

I don't recall if the May version included this as well, but cDynVar has been upgraded to unserialize raw formats as well as PHP serializations so data files in Onyx may be replaced with readable user files. This is a significant upgrade, but I don't have time to cover it at the moment.

I've just put up a May version of libN2L-4 which is once again pretty much unusable. As always the documentation is updated and you can download n2l or check out the documentation in the usual places.

I've just put up a new version of libN2L-4 which is still pretty much unusable, but is closer than ever. I've also put up a new version of the documentation, though it's only a doxygen build so it's not really all that useful. In any case, you can download n2l or check out the documentation in the usual places.

I've finally uploaded a new version of the library source. It's still in terrible shape and useless, but there it is. You can go grab the source if you want to feel some pain. I also uploaded a new version of the documentation, for what it's worth. Believe it or not, but there is actually some useful code in there that might be useful to somebody.

For the first time in a long time I've published the wholly rebuilt Doxygen documentation for libN2L-4.

Unfortunately the reference is so big and disconnected as is that it's largely useless. Hopefully I'll have time in the near future to write some useful high level documentation, rather than just reference.

Lots of new functionality added like the ability to have windows iconed, a general loader template class, a new particle engine and a bunch of VFS and geometry work.

Yay progress!

As usual, it's available on the libN2L downloads page.

I've released the source of the libN2L library with a whole bunch of new stuff built into it. We now have a GUI widgets, texture fills, music and sound effect support and a bunch of fixes and updates all around.

Largely, this is a usability update now that Onyx is well under way I'm starting to see more and more of the areas that need improvement. And fixing them. Yay!

Another source package released. A thread safe implementation of cUniStream has been added, as well as fixes to the cRScene and perspective classes.

The system event stream has also been converted over to unistream, with the necessary changes made throughout.

As always, the download is available on the downloads page.

The new source package contains a mostly working implementation of cUniStream - the replacement for cirucular and persistant stream.

There is a partial conversion over the unistream in the connection set executors, but all of that code is still unstable.

As well, the code has some fixes to allow it to compile on gcc 3.2 without error.

Just like last time, check out the downloads page.

Code that doesn't work properly....

Blah... blah...

Download page...

Blah... blah...

New support for threadable network handling added.

After quite a long hiatus I've put a new game journal entry up covering some of the work I've been doing for the past few weeks. There's even some pretty cool example code in there showing off the networking abstractions.

On top of that I'm getting close to releasing some very early and incomplete developer documentation in the Nova-2 Library section of the site. Those documents will likely be up by the end of the weekend, in some form or another.

Yay for me!

Yet another development build available on the download page.

Still unstable, still unusable, yadda yadda...

I've added another unstable, incomplete and otherwise suicidal source package of libN2L-3.

As always, it's on the downloads page, called libN2L-3-2003.01.04.05.53.tar.gz

A new and sane version of the Nova-2 Library Development Site is now online. Links to shamelessly trick people into visiting it are scattered all over the site, including a new button on the title bar, right after Game Journal.

There's even a downloadable source package for the library, which is not even close to being done.

Development has been progressing on the libN2L library in preparation of an upcomming game. Silently and slowly it has been growing... and now the time of it's rebirth is at hand.

Epic diatribe aside. Things are looking good for a release of N2L in the next few weeks. Expect announcements to follow on specific components as they become available.

Nova-2 Development has been suspended until more time can be allocated to it. Work on the Nova-2 libraries and the toolkit continue however in spare time and so the Nova-2 banner is still flying.
