May 2011

A messy month for me: work, home and so on, so not too much time to develop my hobby.
But "not too much" != "no" so, something was done.

- A less raw stardust effect: the dust now are made by sprite, not by pixel, so there's transparency and the result is pretty. (see the previous video...)
- I've started to work to some classes for handle the "other ships" (enemy, friend and so on). But it's just the beginning
- I was (finally!!) able to use a bitmap font for the text on the hud. So, now we have a outlined font, more readable when text overlaps with another text.
- Worked a lot into shadow code. Now self shadowing seems to works: here a short video




- last, but not least, now the gui has also images, so i can make icons and not only text button.

Stay tuned for news.
