Hi Kristen,
I'm not sure what you are making reference to, but I've personally
never been in favor of automated editors/development tools. So I'm not
quite sure where you got that idea from.
If you are talking about my Genesis 3D Engine it is not an automated
editor/development tool. It is a
Hi Thomas,
I don't think the community needs an automated game tool editor. Such an
idea is very appealing at first sight, but as Philip rightly pointed out,
there is no way to perform extensive tasks on it.
I think what is much more needed is actually further extensive tutorials on
gaming,
Oh, my God, Tom! Please, please, please consider doing this! I'd buy
it! Programming is something I don't know how people do. I am truely
astounded at how much work is involved, and I don't think I could
figure it out too well. However, programming must have some logic to
it--it's a system, after
I took a look at the BGT manual and went, yikes! I got about 4-5
paragraphs into it and got confused. I sat for a while, trying to
figure things out, and got even more confused. Maybe I'll give it
another shot, though.
I can see the point made earlier that this interface idea Tom is
toying around

Hey, that's all I want to know. I'd much rather have an honest opinion

exactly though I have done programming before maybe you could have
coman actions and modules you could drop in to the program true you
could include those but it would be nifty.
Then any modules you saved you could just drop in.

I like your idea but in one specific area.
It would allow game players to add new levels to existing USA games such as
David did with Lone Wolf.
I would enjoy adding new levels to MOTA or new tracks to Raceway.
One thing that the LW level generator does not allow is user supplied

Hi Ken,
That's precisely why I have created G3D as a managed library. I
realize that languages like C++ or even Angelscript isn't for
everybody. Two years ago when I started writing the Genesis Engine,
before BGT came along, there was some interest in VB .net. I myself
was using C# .net at the
Now that would be interesting to see what you come up with. Would
like one thing in it, a demo type. So you could play around a bit but
not save. Just be able to see how it does what you tell it.

Ah, its not that bad. One way I get around the issue of updating

support them in the firstplace. The .net framework is fairly
standardized now, and the fact is most Windows developers will most

Maybe. Basically, the Genesis 3D engine is a dll file, g3d.dll, which

works is that it has a .net style managed interface as in everything
