not dead

i promise this isn't dead. i still work on this. font rendering is still a huge pain in the ass! :)

where i've been

WHY haven't I updated the blog?
I've been working hard on this: http://www.kno.com

lack of time

working in a startup, i have very little time lately, sadly.

still working on this once in a while though...

Meh

My messing around with FAT code broke fat12...fixing it

FAT

did some optimizations on fat code. it is much faster now :)
also it's been converted into a proper module instead of the weird half-module state it's been in

UI 2

Who knew photoshopping many small images could be so time consuming. I created the 45 images today that make up all the images needed for buttons (button is 9 images, and there are 5 states: on off disabled, focused, focused&on)

Anyone want to take over the graphic design?

UI :)

Just a small photo before i go to bed. I finally got around to drawing up the UI images so now a simple form can render :)




Note the subtle shadow. The ui is composed of PNG images with alpha blending. This means that ALL of the UI can be semi-transparent and have pretty shadows.

The final compositing is done by GfxLib's GfxLibLayer class.

Much much more UI shots soon... (as soon as I draw the other UI elements)
