EvayrNet: Debugging functionality

Hi! It has been a while. Here's an update on my networking library EvayrNet which is available for C++ users of Leadwerks:   While implementing it into the test project in Leadwerks, I saw that the use case had some flaws which made it really hard to debug what's going on. I figured that I should be spending some time on fixing some flaws. After a few weeks I came up with the following upgrades: Debugging class Simulation mode More debugging information available Here's some deta

Leadwerks and EvayrNet: Initial integration

Intro An interesting new project of mine. I've always wanted to become a network programmer and made many multiplayer games (like Ravage Online and SIEGE) because it really excites me to see it all work. For those games I used existing networking libraries like RakNet and ENet. Although, I found it was time to make my own for once. Not to make a new wheel, but to see how it rolls. This will make the finding of an internship easier as well.   For every project you will need an end goal. I want

It gives the player a sense of achievement which keeps the player motivated to

Developing games

Haven't written a blog before, but things have always come into my mind about certain subjects.. Figured I should finally start writing a blog.   This blog is mainly about my personal experience and advice on making games in general. Even though I've made some games like Ravage Online (RO) and the potential Grievous Grounds (GG); the games aren't really done and I'll be elaborating how this has happened.   Scope       The scope of both of these games are pretty big. For Grievous Ground
