FantomGL

YEAH! I managed it finally to tell COCO/R how to parse include files. It was a brain cracker and nowhere in the net I found a solution for it. I allready had a method implemented, where FamtomGL calls itself again, and then reads in the result of the former process. This was not a nice solution and some things are not doable with this. But now I don't need this workaround anymore, I can parse include files in any deep. I'm glad I managed that.

Now I can concentrate on the last bits of variable declaration and then, go further with the functionality. I allways loved COCO/R but not being able to read include files was a show stopper for me. NOT ANYMORE!!!

Hi folks,

my friend Lee has released his game Dead Chaos. If you like horror action adventures ala Resident Evil, then this might be something for you:

Can you tell? I made it. My pathfinding routine is now as fast as I want it to be. My goal was to develop something that is faster then the stuff another thinBasic user had created (and sadly not developed further).

And I did it The next thing to implement will be more interface functions, the pattern/waypoint functionalities and writing the helpfile and samples. Then maybe create a little game to show off the new functions?

Anyway, the new module will get the name TBNAV4G.

Hi folks,

my family and me are very upset and down at the moment. In these minutes, my stepson Gilbert will be transfered to his 12 months duty in Iraq. I can tell you, his mother is in fear like she never was before. What makes it even harder is to know that Gil is now very afraid too. He recently found a new love. I'll pray that my wife and his financee may find peace and a strong mind to go through these 12 months before he comes back. I can not understand parents who are proud that their kids go into war. NEVER! Espercially if this war is only for the money. If my little son ever wants to join an army, I will chain him to the heaters and won't let him go!!!

Hi folks,

it seems that my friend decided not to port his game over to a different OS. He has perfect valid reasons but it is kinda a shock for me as I was really looking forward to it. I also bought an IMac for many for that. At least I justified the purchase with it. To bad I can't sell it right now, as the bank still owns it.
I guess I have to think now about what I do with the extra time I have all of the sudden. 

Slowly it seems that things that I try to do with other people in porjects won't work out. I experience this so many times now that I need two hands to count the projects.

Well, that's life.
Michael
