The next Version of Bare Game is almost here

[sysrpl]

A new version of Bare Game is coming. This new version has tons of new functionality including:

everything visual is based on shaders now
custom vertex types and vertex buffers
easy to use render to texture commands
animation storyboards
animation tracking support added to many properties such as

camera position, heading, and field of view
sprite position, origin, color, scale, rotation
font writer insert positions, text angle, character angle, kerning, fore color, shadow color
2D brush color
2D pen color, and width
sound channel pan, volumes, and position
much improved sound mixing timing

user programmable sound samples
programmable musical note generation examples functions
easy to use 3D positional sound
improved canvas class

solid brush, gradient brush, and texture brush implementations
pen miter limits and styles
improved caching and copying of path data

new resource manager with built in compression and packing

you simply put images, sounds, anything else into project/resources, and they get compressed into your exe/program as resources when you build
prebuilt skybox class

I'm sure there is a bunch more. If anyone here wants to help me in this project, maybe with testing, or actual coding, let me know.

I am not able to download.

I always get the error: "500 - Internal server error"

Get it using github for now. The previous install created its own Free Pascal compiler and Lazarus. This is going to change in the next version. You will just download the package files, and install the package.

I will veryify the github versions are compatible with the newer free Pascal and Lazarus bundles available at getlazarus.org. Afterwards I'll provide and provide instructions on how to setup the old version of Bare Game from github in this thread, along with a few examples possibly.

Just as a reminder, the current released version of Bare Game lacks many of the features I outlined in my original post. A new version is getting ready for release and we'll need some help testing it and creating tutorials and demos.

Update:

Though the Bare.Game engine version 2 isn't ready yet, I've gone back to the github version and updated it to work with the latest fixes 3_0 branch of Free Pascal. I've also created new example project for it located in Bare.Game/examples.draw. Install instructions and other information is on github here:

amazing work , impressive code architecture , this really indicates that you are formed professional .
the example works fine . but in other machine ( does not support shader ) it didn't , i think it would be good if your lib has the ability to switch to older fixed function pipeline . its just my opinion .

looking forward for your next versions
btw , i am working on translating stb_image.c to free pascal ( progress 20% right now), i think it would a good solution for fast multi-platform image loading .

Thank you for the positive feedback. It'll put some juice into my batteries. I'll see what I can do about more compatibility in the upcoming release.

does bg engine support playing ogg files ?

[sysrpl]

Current and in the next version, it only supports wav and compressed wav. There is a tool/script included to convert any audio format to the proper format expect by Bare Game.

In reality this isn't such a big deal because:

A) Anytime you play an audios stream a game engine/sound must be expanded it into raw audio samples. So in effect all ogg and mp3 are doing is reducing the file size.

B) In version 2 all sounds, images, fonts, and other resources are compressed into a resource data file linked to your program anytime you build. This should alleviates any file size concerns remaining from point A.
