Small Code Demo

[reepblue]

I've decided to upload a demo of what I've been working on for the past 6 months (more if you count the old code I scavenged). The scene and app code is very basic but there is a lot going on here.

• A folder will be created in your Documents folder that'll save the settings, key/joy bindings and the logfile.
• The app uses SDL2 for controller detection and handling.
• If you run the batch, Fullscreen mode will enable.
• Sounds are preloaded from json scripts.
• Although not shown/used, An entities physics properties can be changed via a script definition.
• Game takes input on actions which are defined by json scripts saved to your documents file.
• FPS player can walk, crouch, jump, and zoom.
• There is a weapon system in the works. If you touch the sphere prop, you'll get 6 hemispheres in front of you. This is a developer 'weapon'; kind of like my own version of weapon_cubemap.
• Plenty of actors are in this build, just not showcased.
• Core code is compatible with Leadwerks 5. As for the game stuff - sorta.
• Everything is written in C++! Actors attach with the help of Lua, and scripts are json files.

Notes:

• SDL2 has failed on some computers during previous implementations. This time I only use SDL2 for controller input and it works so far. If it doesn't work I'll just disable the define.
• No Linux build yet. It should compile, just need to set the projects up.
• If you have dual monitors, don't use fullscreen as the entire window might stretch across all displays. I'll have to look into border less windows.
• There was GUI working, but I thought of a better way of implementing it. I had it set to the window class when I should be setting it to the world class or the camera class.Issue with doing the GUI in the camera is that the camera gets deleted per world-Clear().  could do some nasty stuff to prevent it, but I think I'll just leave it be and do the GUI in the world class.
• If you run in fullscreen, you can press the END key to end the program.

Hopefully it works!

Added the note about the END key.
