Tools and such
Well, there’s quite a bit of debate on-going now about the intricacies of the coding guidelines, so much so that I’ve had to make a new forum to have the discussion in. While wiki’s are great for actually doing the writing and maintaining of documents like these, they’re not so hot for having debates about whats being written (despite having discussion pages, etc. built-in to the system).
We’ve got a pretty decent core set of modules down now (debugging, memory, file system, hash strings), which I’m going to use this week to get a decent set of tools online; the sort of tools you inevitably need to speed up development – file packing tools, asset converters, patch generation, that sort of thing. First up is the file packing tool, which should exercise the modules we’ve written last week and iron out any kinks in them.
