The first important step in the planning phase of a new software project is to set the objectives. Here are the ones that should be achieved for the second version of the “TigerHeart” engine core:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Classes<\/a> and interfaces<\/a>: C++<\/a> classes are accessed externally via interfaces similar to COM<\/a>. Furthermore methods<\/a> can be called and attributes<\/a> can be retrieved and modified using special functions<\/a> (e.g. for script utilization).<\/li>\n
  2. Derivation<\/a>: It is possible to use existing classes as base for new ones. But those extensions should be accessed by non-derived interfaces.<\/li>\n
  3. Object and library management: TigerHeart manages object creation from classes, which are provided by static and dynamic libraries<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Data access and storage: Files from directories and archives are loaded and saved using wrappers<\/a>. Data can be stored into memory and files with a standard interface and compression<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Meta data<\/a>: Every class is able to retain user-defined attributes.<\/li>\n
  6. Design: Construction of functions, classes and interfaces happens in XML<\/a> files, which are transformed into various header<\/a>, source code<\/a>, script<\/a> files and what ever is needed. These files will be enhanced by own code.
    \n\tMaybe the handling is simplified by an editor later.<\/li>\n
  7. Threads<\/a>: There is a native support for processing on multiple cores.<\/li>\n
  8. x86<\/a> \/ x64<\/a>: Code has to be compilable<\/a> to 32 and 64 bit executables<\/a> for Microsoft Windows<\/a> XP<\/a> and Vista<\/a>. Compatibility with other platforms is optional.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
