Demo App

Quote:For $100 (plus shipping) you get a CD-ROM with source code to the V12 engine and a demo application

Could someone tell me a little more about the demo app.

What features of the engine are demonstrated? Scripts? Networking? ...

Is this demo app well documented (in the code at least)?

The demo will be very simple to start with. A terrain, a player, a building, possible a tree or shrub :) When you play, you'll be able to run around, pick up a weapon and fire it. I'm not sure whether multi-player will in the initial demo. I would certainly like it to be there, but ripping out all the WONnet authentication pretty much mangle the client->server connection code. It's going to take me a while to sort through that whole connection process. Whether it's in or not will probably depend on how much pressure we get from developers to release the engine. Obviously the longer we hold on to it, the more polished the initial release will be. But the sooner we get it out, the sooner we can have more developers contributing (still shooting for end of April).

We'll continue working on the demo after the initial release, and eventually intend it to be a solid base for Total Conversions. The demo will have some documentation, which will probably make it the best documented code in the whole V12. As it should be :)
