Not relevant to this particular blog post, but I just wanted to say thank you: one of your old projects, Sphere, had a big influence on me as a young programmer (in my early teens), and is a big part of why I got into programming. SCons is also awesome. I'm glad to see you are still doing cool stuff :)
- chadaustin 10y agoSuper cool! Glad I could help! Isn't it hilarious how almost everything you could do in Sphere is actually quite easy directly in browsers these days?
- rjtobin 10y agoHaha yeah. You might say that your choice of ECMAScript was prescient :)
- groovy2shoes 10y agoI toyed around with Sphere a bit, but RPG 6.5 was where it was at for me. I spent weeks poring over that code, and it was my first encounter with C++. I learned so much, especially from the implementation of the toolkit (tile editor, map editor, etc.). I never was able to compile it myself, though, as I didn't have access to a proper Borland C++ compiler for DOS, but that didn't matter so much as long as I could read the code and see the end result. Cheers!
