Leadwerks 5 is going to be developed alongside 4.5 with an extended period of beta testing and feedback. My goal is to build the world's most advanced game design software, tailored to the needs of our community and clients. Development will first focus on a new programming API updated for C++11 and then a completely new editor using Leadwerks GUI and based on the workflow developed with our current editor.
The first beta will support the following features right away:
- Shared Pointers
- Unicode support
- 64-bit
These features are already working. Here is a working build you can try right now:
Leadwerks5.zip
This is the actual source code used to make this example. Note that C++11 shared pointers have been implemented for all objects and the API has been simplified to make your code more readable:
#include "Leadwerks.h" using namespace Leadwerks; int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { auto window = CreateWindow(); auto context = CreateContext(window); auto world = CreateWorld(); auto camera = CreateCamera(world); camera->Move(0, 0, -3); auto light = CreateDirectionalLight(world); light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0); light->SetShadowMode(0); auto model = CreateBox(world); model->SetColor(0.0, 1.0, 0.92); while (not window->Closed()) { if (window->KeyHit(EscapeKey)) break; if (model) model->Turn(0, 1, 0); if (window->KeyHit(SpaceKey)) model = nullptr; world->Update(); world->Render(context); } return 0; }
The beta will be available to developers who want to try the very latest game development technology, with a subscription plan of just $4.99 a month, available through our website.
