MDickie Commits Career Suicide With Religious RPG
(submitted by MDickie on 2008-12-05 11:31:06)


The greatest story ever told becomes the greatest story ever EXPERIENCED! The You Testament takes you back to the time of Christ and allows you to witness his impact on society firsthand. Be the feet that follow him around ancient Palestine, the voice that tempts him in the wilderness, and the ears that hear his guidance. Then be the hand that betrays him, the mouth that denies him, and the eyes that see his death and resurrection. By the time the story has been told, it will be the most personal account ever documented - the Gospel according to YOU! Featuring a unique interpretation of events and scriptural references for further reading, the teachings of Christ have never been more relevant and accessible. Neither pious nor blasphemous, The You Testament is a thought-provoking challenge of what you thought you knew and an uplifting reminder of what will always be true...

JV-ODE V1.32 Update Released
(submitted by VIP3R on 2008-10-28 09:03:22)
JV-ODE Version 1.32 has been released. The new update is now compiled using the latest version of ODE (V0.10.1) which includes several additions, fixes and tweaks.

The JV-ODE Physics Wrapper is an advanced user library supporting almost all of the Open Dynamics Engine functions wrapped inside a DLL (Dynamic Link Library).

The library can be used with any programming language that supports DLL's, including Blitz3D and BlitzMax (Win32). The Euler rotation system in JV-ODE has been adapted to match the left-handed Euler rotation used in Blitz3D, however functions for accessing Quaternion and Axis Angle rotation systems are also included. The full versions contain all of the necessary files to get you started, including over 40 demos showing the various features found in ODE and a complete Function Reference document.

The BlitzMax (Win32) version also features a built-in 'bare-bones' OpenGL 3D engine module and B3D mesh loader module for demo purposes.



You can view more information here.

The Blitz3D restricted demo version is now available for download here (207KB)

The BlitzMax (Win32) restricted demo version is now available for download here (292KB)
